(ERW2-2018-19)- Session 1- Challenge 1.3. Pippi

Challenge 3:

I would like you to read the book Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren (1945), at least some chapters. I think Chapter number 4 is very interesting, it is called "Pippi Goes To School". However I cannot find a pdf version of the (whole) book. Go to the public library or to a bookshop or go here and click next. It has no paragraphs but it has audiobook option, so you can listen to it while reading it which seems great!

Here you can find the author's books and characters.

What did you think? Any memory?

Then read this article by Julie Sophie Haager about the impact of this character (from the TV programme version) and how children share their thoughts and emotions through drawing.

Thoughts?

Have a nice week!

I enjoyed the option of listening to the audiobook of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren (1945) while I was reading. First, it worked as a motivation because I´m feeling very tired. Second, it was good to listen and associate the written words or expressions by reading them at the same time.

This story caught immediately my attention just from the beggining of chapter 1 when I read that she lived all by herself in a house called Villakulla only with a pet monkey and a horse. She lived with no parents because her Mum is an angel in heaven and her Dad is king of Canny-Canny Island in the South Seas. Despite this and her younger age (nine years old) she happens to be the strongest person in the world and this is something that we can prove by one of her quotes ‘Don’t you worry about me. I’ll always come out on top.’

I think this character is the personification of young girls’ strength and courage. As she, many other girls that had lost their mothers or fathers, or both, had to face many challenges and many of them very difficult. However, and even if they were at a disadvantage, they managed to survive and grow with joy and kindness.

When I saw Pippi’s TV programme’s character I recalled her but I can’t remember if I saw her adventures in a Portugal or in a Venezuela TV channel. Pippi is very funny, spontaneous, creative… one of a kind!!!
She doesn’t need the adult’s help. She never needs to do anything she doesn’t want to do.
She is happy with her monkey, Mr Nilsson, with her horse and she is a great friend to Annika and Tommy (whom she considers to be her best friends).
Pippi doesn’t live by anyone’s rules but her own, and she has a huge self esteem. She just never does things as expected.
I laughed a lot during all the listening and reading, specially the chapter “Pippi Goes To School". When I was a student, I’ve never behave badly in school, I've always been very respectful. As a teacher, I can say that I’ve been in some situations described in this chapter:
-Explaining to some students that we couldn’t answer that way in school (when they are rude or have no manners); - Trying to pretend that I haven’t heard when someone is interrupting and turning to other student; Changing activities in a way to calm down some students; - Being very patient and understanding until all that coming to an end; - Talking alone to some students that have behaved badly in the classroom.

It continues...
