Icons & Aspirations

The kids love to talk about football and cricket, most of them play everyday. Even the girls love the watch the game. I wanted the kids to share with each other and us who their favorite icons were and whom they looked up to. I did not define the kind of people that had to go on the charts, I simply told them to look through old newspapers or magazines lying around to find pictures of people they dream to be or whom they look up to.We spent the class making boards of all the cut outs brought. I thought this would be an interesting insight into what the kids really are exposed to and how media effects them in their environment.
