We
meet in proverbs with Pieter Bruegel's "Netherlandish Proverbs".
(netschoolbook.gr)
"This painting includes visual representations of
perhaps more than 120 individual proverbs. A village acts out over
one hundred
and twenty sayings which roughly fall into two groups. There are those
which comment on the absurdity of human behaviour,
and others which demonstrate sinfulness.
So our project is about collecting proverbs which are related with
Spring Day 2004 values - Democracy, Tolerance, Solidarity,
Peace, Freedom, Equality. It might be a good idea to encourage pupils
to illustrate proverbs by asking them to select the key
words within the proverb and look for symbolic connections."

- Storytelling - Proverbs
: Wisdom Tales Without the Plot (storyarts.org)
" Have students choose a familiar proverb and develop a story
that can surround and carry that thought.
Multicultural proverbs offer interesting insights into the universality
of wisdom.
The following are some selected proverbs from Wisdom Tales From Around
the World by Heather Forest, August House Publishers."

in songs , on pourrait enregistrer de courts extraits de
chansons afin que les élèves puissent relever les différents proverbes
