“The red bicycle” Picture no . UKG little boy called Roy.
The picture is of a boy cycling. His
mother is standing at the door of the house with her hand up. Everyone so far adults and children had
interpreted tis picture as the mother saing bye bye to the boy as he pedals
away. There have been only two people
so far (in 6 years of using this picture sequence extensively) who have
interpreted the Mother’s action (her hand up) as “Cycle slowly (dhirey chalao”.
One was the roy of the Upper KG and
the other was a very senior Special Educator of 30 odd years with A Master’s
from Purdue University. The latter also had the advantage of seeing the following pictures before she ade
her comment – that of the boy falling down and the mother appearing angry.
Little had a different take on the picture
from all other children and some adults who have seen the pictures.
