LANGUAGE PORTRAITS LOST WOR(L)DS - https://www.multilingualism-in-schools.net/ https://www.multilingualism-in- schools.net/language-portraits/ “Essentially,a language portrait is a tried and tested way to encourage children to talk about their different languages, and how they form a part of their identity. The premise is simple – you choose one colour for each language you consider part of your identity, and colour in the outline of a person, in any way you want.” • ISA Padlet https://padlet.com/nocilla13/ISA • WBD Padlet https://padlet.com/MrsWoodDHT/zfwygb46bn62jf6u • Portfolio https://padlet.com/nocilla13/spport21
