AIMS OF THE PROJECT:
PARTNERS OF THE PROJECT:
5º de EP, Colegio San Gregorio, Aguilar de Campoo (España)
Holy Trinity School, Guildford, (Inglaterra)
TIMING FOR THE DIFFERENT TASKS:
● SEPTEMBER: Create the website and learn about how to deal. During this month we will explain to the students the characteristics of the project, in order to them to know what they have to do and what we will ask them along it. Also we will create the website for the project in which we will upload all the products. We will only have one website for the whole project. These tools are available for this purpose:
· Webnode
· Wix
· Google Site
· Weebly
We will register the project and open the Twinspace to upload images and update the diary of the project.
OCTOBER: Present the students to the school partners. It will be created a presentation at Google Drive Slideshow, in which students will upload their photos, name, birth date and their likes. Also it will be amazing to record a podcast with all the students.
● NOVEMBER: My favourite book. Students will choose their favourite book or the one they have liked the most and they have to recommend it to their classmates (They will be books in their own mother tongue). We will create pairs of students, each couple will make and interview to their classmate in which they will talk about their favourite book following the given patterns. In the library of the school we will decorate a corner in which we will leave these books and the student will be free to pick them along the school year. This will be a good way to promote reading.
● DECEMBER: Christmas Stories. The students of the different country partners will write stories in comic patterns about Christmas. The rich thing of this activity will be to promote the Christmas traditions in each countries. So as they are reading they are learning about the other culture.
● FEBRUARY: Authors of kids literature. Working in groups the students will create a section at the website with a short investigation about authors of child stories. The investigation will include photos of the author, relevant information using a timeline. And a short list of books written by this author and a short summary of one of it.
● MARCH: Traditional stories of the country. Working in groups the student will look for a traditional story of their country and they will represent in a short play and recording it in a video. It will be created in English, if it wasn’t possible, it would be subtitled.
● APRIL: Writing stories. The students will write stories. For that, they will decide the plot, the pictures and dialogues. These online tools would be very useful for this activity. Storybird Storyjumper Scratch
● MAY: Exchange. They would be two turns of exchange, one at Guildford and the other one at Aguilar de Campoo. During the exchange the students will live an immersion in the different educative systems. Along these exchange weeks there will be storytelling at the infant school classrooms with stories prepared and written by themselves or child books in their mother tongues. Also we will try to visit the library of the town or any famous one in the surrounded area.
● JUNE: Storytelling. The students will do different storytelling lessons at the school library to different school mates.
