LEARN

First of all, let’s see the Transfiguration Class scene of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. 

LEARN

In real life, we can’t turn a frog into a prince but life in nature has lots of magical changes and transformations. Would you like to see some samples of it?

Let’s watch this video then.

LEARN

We should start to learn the SMILE alphabet to be able to decipher all the transformations in our lives. 

Study on the SMILE alphabet!

APPLY

 Heraclitus, an ancient philosopher, says:

“🌷🦔🌍    🐙📜🍂🌻    🌷🦔🍧📜👻    🌷🦔🐊🌷   🍧🍀   🐪🐙📜🍀🌷🐊📜🌷    🍧🍀   🐪🦔🐊📜👻🌍”

Task 1:  Decode Heraklitus’ message and go to discussion part at the end of the page and share it by replying the other questions.

“What is Heraklitus’ message? Please decode it. What do you think about this message?  Can you share your ideas about transformation / change in our lives and in nature?”

APPLY

Task 2:

Decode the messages in this worksheet to find out about the zombies (addictions) harmful effects on people.

(This task is correlated with one of Dada Class activities.)

LEARN and APPLY

Task 3: To get detailed information about different types of addictions and their harmful effects, click on them.

Technology  /  Alcohol  /  Smoking  /  Drug  /  Junk Food

After getting knowledge about these addictions, choose one of them and Code a message of your own that would encourage people not to fall under the zombie’s influence. Use The Smile Alphabet to code your message.

(This collaboration work was achieved by using Google Slides. You can see some of the examples here in the following pages.)
