Websites Chosen by don Gnocchi Students

After careful consideration and various trials by students, 2 websites were put forward as final choices:

1. http://www.cambridgeenglishonline.com/Flashcard_maker/ : it seemed a good choice at the beginning, but unfortunately cards can't be saved on the PC and so they can only be printed.
2. http://www.canva.com: the choice settled on this site because:

• a wide variety of layouts
• an enormous library of images, easy to choose and free for a large number of them
• share button, which means it can be shared on the web by students for the Twinspace
• it can be downloaded on the PC, for printing.

 

Categories of Recital Cards

After having discussed with teacher partners, it was decided to create these 5 types of cards:

1. Hero
2. Enemy,
3. Prop or magical tool
4. Helping character
5. The quest

 

Organisation of the Class

The class was divided into 5 groups of approx. 4 students for each category , with the task of making 2 cards each:

1. and ONE corresponding label which will be put on the head of the student actor to advise the audience of the character he/she is playing;
2. for the prop category, students/teachers will bring a toy prop or make a carton representation of the object;
3. for the quest, a printed image can be used for the scenery of each card made.

 

Communication among the Community

It was decided that to avoid repetition of recital subjects among students/classes communication between them would entail:

1. WhatsApp groups and eventually,
2. Facebook groups with private permission.
