Project Activities
Write a Clear Self-Description
Students write a detailed description of their own appearance and personality, using specific details a partner abroad would understand. Classmates give feedback so the descriptions are clear and kind.
Draw Your Partner's Portrait from Their Description
Students read their partner's description and draw a portrait based only on the written words, without seeing a photo. They add creative choices that show curiosity and empathy for their partner.
Share Artwork and Compare Interpretations on Padlet
Students upload their portraits to a shared Padlet board and receive comments from the partner class. Both classes compare what details they noticed and what they misunderstood.
Reflect on Descriptions and Revise Portraits
Students compare their own description with the portrait their partner made and discuss what was understood or missed. They revise their written descriptions to communicate more clearly across cultures.
Present Partner Portraits and Build the Friendship Gallery
Students present their partner's portrait to the class, explain how it was created, and reflect on how art and writing connect classrooms across countries. The portraits are combined into a shared digital gallery.
