“The Tearful Christmas of 1922”

“My name is Alice Magi. However, it does not mean I am also the main heroine if I am in a hurry to introduce myself to you. I am a storyteller.” The 5th grade students read an excerpt from Didos Sotiriou’s “Into the Flames” book. Discussing the historical events of that time and the Asia Minor disaster, they shared relevant stories of their ancestors with their classmates. The text of Didos Sotiriou inspired them, as a result of the creative writing class, to create theatre performance posters with anti-war messages, exploring the different types of writing and textual genres.
