“I worked really hard and I got a lot of congratulations from the people on my team. They had never seen me play like that, and neither had I! I made three goals during the tournament and I had never ever made a hockey goal before that. I think that having all the fans there and playing against different people really pumped me up. We made lots of friends and met a lot of people from different countries. In fact, we won the team from Germany and then we became really good friends with them. At the end we switched jerseys with them and then got a huge team photo with them.”

In this activity, learners can illustrate stories they’ve written using pictures cut out from newspapers and magazines. The pictures can be arranged on a large sheet of construction paper, and the title and text can then be written.
Alternatively, learners can choose pictures that interest them, and then craft a fitting story.
See the Newspaper Activities section for more activities involving photographs.
