Phase 1: Planning
Moment | Duration | Activities | Description & Adaptation |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Identification | 1 week | Brainstorming and discussion about the concept of community, roles of people in their lives, and what it means to be a citizen. | Students express their ideas about their community and identify key figures in their lives (family, teachers, classmates). Use visual aids and simple questions to adapt to their level. |
2. Recovery | 1 week | Reflective activities: sharing personal experiences related to community members. | Students draw or tell stories about someone important in their life, promoting sharing in a safe environment. Use storytelling techniques to support language development. |
3. Planning | 1 week | Design of a community map and plan for art projects (e.g., posters, portraits). | Students plan how to represent their community visually, integrating arts activities. Provide templates and examples to guide their planning, ensuring accessibility. |
Phase 2: Action
Moment | Duration | Activities | Description & Adaptation |

4. Approach | 1 week | Visiting or virtually exploring different parts of the school community; interviews with classmates, teachers, staff. | Students prepare questions and practice simple English to interview others, fostering communication skills. Use bilingual support if needed. |
5. Comprehension and Production | 2 weeks | Creating visual and artistic representations of their community members (portraits, posters, stories). | Use arts to express understanding: drawing, collage, or digital art. Provide guided instructions and examples to support creativity. Students present their work in English, practicing speaking skills. |
6. Recognition | 1 week | Sharing projects with classmates and staff; discussions about what they learned about their community and citizenship. | Students present their artwork and explain it in simple English, encouraging peer feedback and reflection on roles and responsibilities. |
7. Correction | 1 week | Feedback sessions: peers and teachers provide constructive feedback; revising artworks or presentations. | Focus on positive reinforcement and language corrections to build confidence. Adapt language prompts to their level, emphasizing communication over perfection. |
Phase 3: Intervention
Moment | Duration | Activities | Description & Adaptation |
