Plan de Clase | Metodología Activa | Personificaciones en cuentos infantiles

Premisas: Este Plan de Clase Activa asume: una clase de 100 minutos de duración, estudio previo de los estudiantes tanto con el Libro, como con el inicio del desarrollo del Proyecto y que se elegirá una única actividad (entre las tres sugeridas) para realizarse durante la clase, ya que cada actividad está pensada para ocupar gran parte del tiempo disponible.

Objetivos

Duración: (10 - 15 minutes)

The purpose of this stage is to set a clear focus for the lesson by establishing the main objectives that guide students toward understanding personification in children's stories. By defining these objectives, students will have a clear direction and purpose as they engage in the activities planned for the lesson, promoting active learning and encouraging creativity in their literary explorations.

Objetivos Principales:

1. Recognize the use of personification in children's stories and its importance in conveying messages and values.

2. Identify and create examples of personification to enhance their understanding of literary elements.

Introducción

Duración: (15 - 20 minutes)

The purpose of this stage is to engage students' curiosity and creativity by presenting them with intriguing problem situations and contextualizing the importance of personification in storytelling. By discussing relatable scenarios and familiar tales, students can connect their prior knowledge to the upcoming activities, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of personification in children's literature.

Situación Problemática

1. What would happen if the sun decided to take a day off from shining? How would it affect the plants, animals, and people around us?

2. Imagine a pair of shoes that could talk. What stories could they tell about the places they've been and the people they've met?

Contextualización

In many cultures, stories are filled with characters like talking animals or inanimate objects with feelings. For example, in the popular children’s story 'La tortuga y la liebre', the tortoise speaks and displays qualities we admire, like perseverance, while the hare embodies traits we often wish to avoid, like arrogance. Understanding personification is not just about recognizing these characters; it's about discovering how they help us learn lessons about life and society. Just as our environment, from the bustling streets of our city to the serene parks, have their own stories, the ability to see life in everything around us helps sharpen our imaginations and understanding of literature.

Desarrollo

Duración: (70 - 80 minutes)

The purpose of this development stage is to immerse students in hands-on, creative experiences that highlight the concept of personification within children's literature. By working in groups to solve a scenario, students will apply their prior knowledge to develop their understanding of how personification enriches narratives, fostering collaboration and imagination. This active learning approach not only solidifies their grasp of literary concepts but also cultivates critical thinking and communication skills.
