Etwinning project 2015-2016
WWI: let's Work Wisely as One
Sept-Oct: Get to know each other
MP3 presentation of our pupils
Pupils write an email to a member of their group to get to know him/her and ask for a picture (→ Teachers: we can create a table to make sure that each member of a group gets an email). They then realize a mp3 file with what they’ve learned (Ex: http://vocaroo.com, Audacity). It’s uploaded along with a picture of their penpal using www.fotobabble.com and embedded on the twinspace forum. Some are chosen to be shown on a public twinspace page.
Online survey about WWI
Then, everyone answers to an online questionnaire about WWI (→ done by the teachers on Google form) to see what the pupils actually know about it at the beginning of this project. Teachers make a poster to summary the results (www.piktochart.com). It is uploaded on a public twinspace page.
Or we could do a quiz all together at the same time using quizizz.com or Kahoot !
Logo contest
Each school (each group???) creates a logo for the project. We then invite all our schools, included parents, other pupils, teachers, etc. to vote for their favorite on a twinspace page with these logos on a Google form, so that everyone gets to know our project “website”. The winner becomes the logo with use on the Twinspace. It is uploaded on a public twinspace page.
Nov-Dec: Propaganda
Describe a propaganda poster
Each group searches for propaganda posters from their country during WWI. They add them on their forum.
Each pupil has to describe orally (http://www.fotobabble.com or another webtool like https://clyp.it) a propaganda poster from another country uploaded by a member of his group. Each pupil has to comment (it can be done orally, for ie with https://clyp.it) the work of three members from three different countries of his group: how does he feel about this piece of propaganda? Are there things he doesn’t understand? Things he doesn’t agree with? Things he wants to add?
Jan-May: WWI history through our local areas/countries
Picture of war memorial
Each partner visits and photographs his local war memorial(s). It could be great to go there on the 11th of November... These pictures are uploaded. Looking at the local war memorial, each pupil chooses one local soldier to work on.
Do research about their country
Each school research informations and pictures about WWI in their own local area/country. They translate everything in English an upload all their findings.
Organizing the findings of all countries
Then, each group uses all that has been uploaded to create a slideshow about WWI in the different countries. They also have to create a quiz (Google Form) about their work for the people that will watch their presentation.
Online survey
All pupil will take the online survey again (the one they also did at the beginning of this project) to see if their knowledge has increased.)
