Your students love taking selfies.

But did you know...?

1. Self-portraits were the first form of "selfies"

2. Over 1 million selfies are taken every day 

3. The use of the word "selfie" has increased by 17,000% in the English language since 2012

4. Selfies are most popular in (1) Australia, (2) United States and (3) Canada

Students at INS Narcís Monturiol were involved in a cool back-to-school activity in which they drew or pasted 

“selfies” and showed what makes them special.

The aims of the activity are to enable students to:

-        -  get to know each other

-         - self-respect

-    - support and encourage others

-         -  create art and reflect upon what they have made

-         -  show initiative and creativity

-         -  reactivate vocabulary they already know and to familiarize themselves with new vocabulary

-         -  develop writing skills by practising descriptions

-        -  discuss about the “selfie” syndrome and how social media can make us narcissistic

“Selfies” were displayed on the class bulletin board under the title of “ Believe in your self'ie”.
