Greg reports from Chicago:
Hi Ben,
Just wanted to share with you two of the drawings from the PERSONA ESPECIAL interview. This is something that I don’t know if other teachers who are doing PERSONA ESPECIAL do but I decided to do the process of PERSONA ESPECIAL the same way that you say to do the Invisible process. I do it with student artists who have to draw the person and draw things that represent their answers to the question. No one who is not an artist can look at the drawing until it is done. We then do the “great reveal.” It’s kind of a Ben Slavic-ification of the PERSONA ESPECIAL process.
Then I can use the posters for storylistening with other classes as well as get repetition when re-telling to the same class in which the student was interviewed as I describe in Spanish what was pictured on the poster. I also will be photgraphing the art and formating these interviews into a book for FVR time.
