Hi Suggestions please.
I have to Develop a story and create an item? that can be used to explain nutritional needs to diverse children. Remember children who have language difficulties need to be able to understand your story therefore being able to see and understand are essential elements. I have no is idea what they mean

perhaps it means you need to create some kind of proper visual aid ... like a book or box with pictures of healthy foods etc in it that you can show the children???

Hi Julie,
1. You could use flash cards with pictures of healthy foods with a smiley face and sometimes foods with a not so happy face.
2. Tell a story using puppets.
3. Tell a story using a feltboard, like The Hungry Caterpillar. Here is a link where you can get free templates for felt pieces or
puppets for the story. http://www.dltk-teach.com/books/hungryc ... lt_fun.htm
