It is just a label #atouchofmidnight

You have now finished reading En droppe midnatt and we will start working with different themes from the book.

The first theme will be about identity and who you are:




Record your discussions. Use Screencastify and add your link in Google Classroom when you are finished. One in the group records and make sure that you sit close to the microphone. Start the discussion by saying your name so I recognize your voice!

"It is just a label"

- What does that mean?
- Do you label people? How do you know? Give examples:

"How we truly are- is found inside"
- Do you agree - disagree?

"Who would you be if the world never gave you a label"
- What do you think about this quote? Who would YOU be?

"It is the labels, you must rip them off"
- How can this be done? Is it possible? Give examples.

"Only until we stop thinking so small, we will be free"
- What does "thinking so small" mean?

Have you ever thought about your roots and who you are?
