videos, photos, or books.

Using the “function” and the “point of view” keys, start a

conversation with the children in which you comment about the different organs and their
functions. Invite the students to create their own digestive system. Use a volunteer to outline
the silhouette of the human body. Introduce the routine for thought: ¿What is missing? Using
diverse art materials; draw each part of the digestive system.
