The last step was to make the orange T-shirts. I showed did a search and showed images of “Orange Shirt Day,” “All Children Matter,” and “Chaque Enfant Compte.” Everyone had to write “Chaque Enfant Compte.”
They could also write:
- Je m’appelle ________.
- le 30 septembre
While they were making their project, I played the story “When I was Eight.“
