Everyone will have a copy of the text, and will read it silently and autonomously. At the end of the reading there will be a series of reflection questions to be discussed in the working group: is there anything in common between the emotions that your memory has evoked and the emotions of the protagonist? Where does the resemblance reside? What did you do on that occasion?

• Exercise of collective creation based on exercises by Patrice Baldwin (2014), a researcher and educator who proposes through collective activities a type of exercise that fosters the formulation of opinions, knowledge of the contradictions of a character, empathy and commitment to a choice (work: 10 hours).

Activity 2: Your voice, my voice: door to emotions

Self-evaluation for teachers

The teachers will have to reflect on the outcome of the module, what worked, what did not and why? How could it be optimized? etc. The reflections could be recorded in small videos and uploaded on the platform. In this way, the teachers can learn from each other's experiences. 

As part of the reflection, the teachers will also have to gather feedback from the pupils in order to determine the outcome of the modules. The partners will deliver suggestions on how to discuss the modules with the pupils and what aspects of the module that might be important to discuss with them. (work: 6 hours)
