OCTOBER
1) We will create a common game by using Quizziz. We will work in transnational teams.
First of all, each school will write a short text presenting their own country. When the text is ready, click on "Go to the discussion" at the bottom of page 6 and add it to the Forum.
Secondly, choose two of your students. Then write your name, school, country, and the students' names in the table on page 6.
Your students will write 2 questions about the country of the school that is working in your same team.
Add the questions to the Quizziz game using these credentials:

Password: monicaserap
2) We will vote the logo for our project on page 5.
Our pupils should draw it (it would be the best option). Alternatively you and your students can use Wordart, Makebadges or another tool you prefer.
We will upload our logo suggestions ( as many logos as we like) from October 5th to October 31st.
We and our students together will vote our two favourite logos from November 1st to November 15th.
We do not vote for our own work.
Only teachers members of our project are allowed to vote.

3) We will create a collaborative e-book with Ourboox
Each school will complete two pages: a page with a short description in English about a newspaper of our town or country.
On the second page we will upload a video of the meeting with a journalist of our town. The meeting can be in presence or online. It is not important if the journalist is famous or not. The journalist can speak about his/her interesting job. Students can make questions in their own language. We take photos of the meeting and we make the video. The meeting with a journalist can be done in November, too.

NOVEMBER-APRIL
We will use Madmagz to create our online magazine.
The themes of the articles are free, related to our town or country.
We will comply with the task working in transnational teams.
School A and school B work in pairs.
Both schools write the first article (for November-December issue) on their own. Then each school writes 1 article every two months (in January and in March) and it uploads it on Madmagz (page 8.1).
Then, in December, after uploading the December article, School A reads the articles written by School B and the reverse.
Students write questions about the partner's article. The partner school will write their answers. This activity is called "INTERVIEW THE REPORTER".
We will upload the short interview into a padlet on the subpages.
At the end, each school will have done three interviews (in December, February, April).
We will create 3 issues of the online magazine (3 e-books): one for November-December, one for January-February, one for March-April.
Please, write your name and school in your article.
Each article is 1 page long.
