I have decided to write you because I have read your post and I think you have interesting points.
You have started talking about the first part of creating our carácter and here I have tos ay that I do not agree with you in the aspect that you say it was a boring activity. In my opinión, the first part of the activity was more important since we had to use our imagination to created a new carácter following steps and with this we could show our creativity skills. This part was essential because then, we have to join several of these characters and create a story. For me, this part was amazing because I had a lot of ideas and finally I decided which of them were the best to create my character and for my it was an emotional experience through the fantasy.
On the other hand, I agree with you when you say that the second part was a fantastic activity. In this part we had characters very different between ones and others and also it was a exciting activity in which we had to use our imagination in group and create a story. In my group, there were some characters without drawing so it was funny for us imagine the character that other classmate did. Also we included songs for each character so this part was very funny.
AS you have said, this kind of activities are important and motiviting for children and they have the opportunity to improve different skills like creativity, communication or literacy in a funny way so I encourage to use this activities in your class.

I decided commenting on you because I also liked the activity that was carried out in class last Tuesday. I had a similar feeling as you with the creation of the character. Even though I didn’t thought it was a boring activity because I love stories and I liked the idea of creating our own character, I was a bit lost about the purpose of this activity. However, last big group session was so fun. I really enjoyed all our presentation, they were so funny. There’s no doubt, we all have a lot of imagination and we are very creative! Don’t you think so?
It is true that we are including HOTS in this activity, we are creating. In my opinion this type of activity is not only motivating and fun for students but also meaningful. On the one hand, they will be able to lead with a lot of topics or even contents from the curriculum and also they were working in groups and developing their creativeness and imagination. As we already know, children’s imagination can, in some cases, exceed the limits so I’m looking forward to carry it out with my pupils as soon as possible. It could be even more fun than it was in our university class!
