- We then asked students to draw their own trees. During each class, we created
one tree (the past trees during one class, the present trees during the next
class, and so on).
- Students were assisted by tutors and by other volunteers. The students
really got creative in their drawings. We used large (3 feet by 2 feet) paper
so that there was plenty of room to create. They used markers, crayons, pens,
pencils, colours, etc.
- Next, the students were asked to write in information about themselves
on each of their trees. This required a lot of prompting and eliciting. We
created a list of prompt questions to help elicit more information. (There
is no definitive list of questions to ask. Almost any questions will work.)
