I’m in crunch time. I leave on Wednesday (at like 2:45am…so is it fair to just say that I leave Tuesday night?). I’m still putting together the curriculum for the entry level English class that we’re offering for the older kiddos at the orphanage. We’re teaching English feeling words/phrases (yeah, everything is multi-purposeful, right?)
I am mad.
I am sad.
I am glad.
I am scared.
I am hungry.
I am thirsty.
I am full.
I am tired.
I am hurt.
One of the activities we are planning involves showing the kids images and having them identify that by one of those phrases then tell us a story about the picture (that part they’ll do in Mandarin).
But, I am not doing great collecting a bunch of pictures. I’ve got some, but not enough. Here’s a sampling…
Do you have any in your collection you could share? A sleepy child? A hot and sweaty child who could be either tired or thirsty? A child sitting in front of an empty dinner plate? A child whose balloon just popped or ice cream just fell? I don’t want just faces but images that lend themselves to interpretation and a story.
Send them to me, people!
