Predpriprava

Read a picture book aloud to the group, showing the illustrations clearly.

Implementacija

After reading, ask questions such as:

  • Who made this story?
  • Why do you think they made it?
  • What does the main character want?
  • What can we learn from this story?

Encourage children to think about the author and illustrator as real people who decide what happens in the story.

Invite children to share their ideas and feelings about the story's message.

Refleksija

As a follow-up, let them draw their favourite part or how they would change the ending.

Različice in dodatne ideje

Compare two picture books with different messages (e.g. one about family, one about friendship).

Invite children to "be the author" and invent a short story of their own.

Use puppets to act out the story.

Osnovne informacije in didaktična perspektiva

This activity fosters early awareness that media and stories are created by people who choose how to present ideas and messages. By analyzing a familiar format — a storybook — children begin to understand that stories reflect intentions and values. Asking questions about authorship, motivation, and meaning encourages reflection and critical engagement with media content. It develops empathy by prompting children to consider different perspectives and prepares them to question other media they encounter. The combination of listening, discussion, and creative expression supports both cognitive and emotional learning.
