Resources and equipment<br />

Copies of Jacques Prévert’s poem (Task sheet 1a – English version, Task sheet 1b – Original version in French)<br />

Task description (Task sheet 2) – one <strong>for</strong> each pair<br />

Role cards (Task sheet 3) – one card <strong>for</strong> each pair<br />

Optional follow-up activity (Task sheet 4)<br />

Flip charts or posters, markers<br />

Tips and potential difficulties<br />

1. Make sure that when writing their poem, participants do not write “about” their role/character on the<br />

card, but about the needs of this group “to live and have a good life”.<br />

2. Creative writing with a partner can be a challenging task. Help pairs collaborate effectively and respectfully.<br />

3. Analogies do not help us understand separate elements, but rather processes, complicated systems<br />

or constellations of relationships. The skill needed in analogies is present in all cognitive processes we<br />

engage in, and certainly when exploring questions of identity and culture. See Task sheet 4 <strong>for</strong> a followup<br />

activity on analogies.<br />
