Argomento: Description of people: revision of clothes, comparatives.

Classe: beginning of the I Liceo scientifico

Prompt: "You are a writer and you’d like to write a short story. Decide the genre and the setting (time and place). Then describe the main character of the story (physical description and clothes). Then, after using Padlet, explain how the result differs from the idea you had in your mind."

Text: We are in the 1950s, in France. Ginevra is a slim girl. She is 1.75 meters

tall. She’s got shoulder-length curly ginger

hair, tied with a blue ribbon. She’s got big

green eyes. Her skin is tawny and she has

freckles on her cheeks. She’s smiling

friendly.

She’s wearing a pair of baggy blue

trousers, a white tight blouse with blue

buttons, a pair of white and blue trainers

and a black, large coat. She is also

wearing a ring on the left hand, a saffire.

She’s carring a light blue bag and in her

right hand there is a yellow umbrella,

closed. On the shoulder belt a pink scarf is

knotted.

Commento: l'idea di partenza era un po' diversa dal risultato: l'intenzione ara quella di generare due o tre immagini e, dopo aver scelto quella che più richiamava la descrizione scritta dall'alunno, cercare differenze e similitudini. Padlet ha effettivamente prodotto 4 immagini leggermente diverse fra loro (e dalla descrizione), ma sono riuscita ad inserire solo una di queste.
