After writing the letter to the object, the students are asked to imagine THEY ARE the object and write a reply to the first letter :)
They have had so much fun being in someTHING else´s shoes that results have been hillarious !!
Thrilled when buying a new book for your teaching? Preoccupied when a student misses a lot of classes? Not giving up on a student despite his/her efforts? Making both ends meet at the end of the month? Just a few questions on what being an ESL teacher means to me :)

Personification II
Sunday, 31 July 2016
Personification I "Thanking an object"
After discussing with your young students what personification is, ask them to choose an item of their own or from the classroom. Then, tell them to write a letter to that object thanking it for what it has done for them :) Guide your students into expanding reasons, situations, anecdotes etc. Help them see the objects beyond the obvious ;)
I have read AMAZING letters throughout the years and, as an example, I leave you one of my students' as a gift :)
PS: As a closure, you can ask them to "be" that object and write a reply letter to them :) It also works marvellously !!
