Thanks to our family for enrolling us at ECCOS, motivating and supporting us; by doing this, they helped in making the book. Thanks for taking care of us! We want to say thank you to our friends for sharing their feelings. Thank you, teachers, for helping us with the secret friend and for sharing your knowledge; you inspired us to write the book for the Young Writer Project. The experience of writing and drawing about our friends was cool, because we got to know more about them. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for all of this!

Year 4 - Afternoon

Presentation Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Building and understanding of what others are feeling, how their own actions can impact on others is a valuable life skill for anyone to possess. The young writer project has proven to be an amazing way to draw out chances to develop this skill as well as many other qualities from our students who had the opportunity to observe, listen, understand and express their feelings to their classmates. To start our work, students watched videos, saw pictures, asked questions to their friends and read some texts in order to observe people and name feelings we can have in different situations. After these activities working on care about each other, describing characters and people they know, each student received a classmate’s name of whom they would be responsible for watching and observing with an empathetic look. All their observations turned into a brief description of each child in year 4. We had some word lists, discussion, communicative activities and exercises so they could better understand the structures of a description text and develop their own. The result of their hard work is this great description book, the culmination of their dedication poured over ideas and observations that they refined. Some mistakes on structures and expressions were kept to preserve student’s writing and to show their learning stage. Enjoy the moment of reading these descriptions and remember they were written by Year 4 Students.
