Giving is Getting-Tu B'Shvat

An activity I have prepared for Tu Beshvat. It's for 6th graders but could be adapted to other ages as well- (7th-8th graders lower and regular streams, up to native speakers). I was inspired by my virtual friend and former English teacher Roneet Gutman Gross, who started this presentation. I got started with her ideas, and went on and embedded a virtual tool called Fake WhatsApp Chat Generator, to facilitate the writing (I had prepared and used another activity using this tool as explained and demonstrated in the above link), for Purim as well.

The "Giving is Getting" activity hereby is about giving, and it's based on the beautiful book that I love so much- "The giving tree" by Shel Silverstein. 

It lends itself to all language domains you as a teacher could think of: Oral, aural, high and low order thinking skills, reading, writing, listening, presentation and of course, appreciation of literature! 

Teachers are welcome to use it, save this google slideshow file to your drive and spread it on. Don't forget to make sure not to violate Roneet Gutman Gross's copyrights and mine. 

These activities are based on the use of the digital web tool I mentioned above- Fake WhatsApp Chat Generator, but could be performed using pen and paper... Happy Tu BeShvat!
