Little Red Riding Hood (EN-CUR-485) - Teaching With Europeana

The lesson is interdisciplinary for Language and Art: students listen to the fairytale, analyze it and as a creative activity they make their own puppets. They also learn about stereographs, make their own examples, and look through Europeana collection for a stereograph photo that will inspire them to write a short story. In the end, a class exhibition will be organized. For Math, they are counting the characters and make patterns.

In the national curriculum for the first grade, students should read ten books. Little Red Riding Hood is one of the recommendations. After reading, various creative teaching activities are designed and implemented. The activities are designed according to the characteristics of the literary work for children, its content and the educational outcomes.

This learning scenario has been developed during the English version of the “Europeana in your classroom: building 21st-century competences with digital cultural heritage (Rerun)” online course. The course aimed to improve teachers’ understanding of cultural heritage in order to efficiently integrate it into their lessons and practices. The courses can be accessed here.

Dear Ana Muhar, your learning scenario is very good. It is a very good study, especially for first-year students. It’s a great idea for you to come out of the Red Riding Hood story. The use of stereography was particularly effective. Especially many web2 use (puzzle, wordwall …) vehicles attracted the attention of children. It was especially nice of you to ask them to talk to the puppets. It was great to write stories to the kids. You’ve developed children’s creativity. By listening to their fairy tales, you have developed your children’s listening skills. You’ve chosen one of the most effective ways to make children love reading. It was a very successful learning scenario. Congratulations. I did a similar e twinning project. The children read The Story Of The Red Riding Hood with his family. He and his family played the story in class. They also chose the puppet method. Our partners played The Little Red Riding Hood story. We compared theirs to our own animation. He later co-authored the Red Riding Hood story r with our partners simultaneously with awwap web2 tool. Our students who read this answered questions using the kahoot web2 tool. They liked it very much.

Dear Ana, your LS is really inspiring. I tried it in my classroom with my 1st graders. They loved it! They were really impressed with the puppets and stereographs and stereoscopes. I am looking forward your new LS. Anita
