You teach us-Little Prince



Learning Objectives: The following are the points that I liked about the book, ‘Little Prince’ and attempted to highlight through my presentation

1. There is a child in every adult: I purposefully used a ‘children’s book’ to get this point across.
2. Be young, be curious: Tried to show the contrast between the young prince who goes out to explore the universe and the adult stereotypes that lived in their own shell, living their own maladies.
3. Connecting the dots: I used the background research about the author to highlight how the book was actually a beautifully concealed autobiography.  

4. Use of imagery as a means of expression and also as memory aids: The author hand painted sketches to convey the story. I realized that the vivid images stayed with my mind longer. Traditionally flashcards have been used as memory aids; with their new avatar as mobile apps they can be used on the move to captures any thought, impressions which can be later expanded.



5. Read a children’s book once in a while, they will challenge you to think in many different levels and you will also enjoy reading them!- It’s a change of perspective
