Students can brainstorm in teams of two how they would change their lives,
what they would do and go if a genie gave them a choice. Students then write
their stories either in pairs or individually/ They can include pictures and
make a story book with their writing. Students can research lives of other
children, same age as them, in other countries and make a report\project\write
up on what life is like elsewhere (school, family, food, entertainment etc.)
