This idea inspired me to pick the story Be A friend, by Salina Yoon for Library Literature Circles. We are going to start working in little groups soon.
INTRODUCING THE STORY: Be a Friend by Salina Yoon is a simple story of being different from the others around you and how that difference can make you special. Dennis is an ordinary boy who expresses himself in extraordinary ways. Dennis mimes.
- Listen to the song about the book Be A Friend that Emily Arrow, a children´s songs writer, wrote to bring the story alive. Sing along!
2. Read and answer:
a- What do you think a mime is?
b-Watch the following Mime Act of Ballon Seller by Moinul Haque. Write down what happens to him. Use the space for comments below.
c- We are meeting soon to work on the story together! Can´t wait to get started!

Hello Miss.
1) I think that a mime is a clown that doesn´t say a word and
a letter. He moves to say something.
2) There was a boy that bothered the mime balloon seller, so he decided to put all the balloons on his arm and the boy went up to the sky.
Bye.

Hello miss
A)A mime is a person who use the sistem of sign
B)The mime picked up the ballon and then, it drag him away. then he tie the ballon to the trolley. after that a boy came and asked for a ballon, the mime told to the boy to wait, but the boy kicked the mime before he could reach the ballon and the mime rebuked him.
I think all the ballons flew away, but the last one took the boy away.

Hello Miss Laura!
A mime is a person who doesnt speak but acts everything. His face is painted with white.
The mime gets tired with the child who let 2 balloons go away so he decides to tie him up all the balloons and the kid flies away.
16 mayo, 2020 at 12:43 pm
Yes, Jaz, I adore that part. I hope you enjoyed watching the mime as much as I did!

a) A mime is a man who doesn´t speak and does invisibile things.
b) At first the mime gave a ballon to a child, and the ballon flew to the sky. Then he gave another ballon, but it flew again. Finally the mime gave a big ballon and the child flew too.
