8.LEARNING AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES: Online Collaboration and School Activities

  •   As we want our students to understand that key competences are interdependent, our activities will be articulated around the 5 themes which will allow us to meet our objectives and achieve various products. The main collaborative activity will have students write short scenes to play during mobilities in order to illustrate the 5 themes of the project. The scenario basis will be about one of the main themes. They will use recycled elements and their artistic works (using mathematics) to create decors and costumes. They will discover Cultural Heritage (online and on site) places to add to their scenes.

    During school lessons, the themes will be developed this way:

    1. DIGITAL LITERACY.

    -creation of an eTwinning project

    -different ICT Tools will be used to implement the online collaborative activities on our twinspace.

    -ICT Tools tutorials will be displayed online

    -ICT skills will thus be improved as different digital products will be made ( eg :power-points, posters, eBooks, eMagazines, eGames). Students will create material of dissemination to use the tools they were taught.

    -eSafety awareness will be a priority. Workshops will take place to give students tips and have them think about the risks. They will launch campaign to raise awareness and use the acquired knowledge to write the scenes of the mobilities.

    2. ARTISTIC LITERACY (drama, music, plastic arts)

    -Students will create artistic material, and prepare a common online exhibition, and the decor / costumes of the scenes to play

    -discover their cultural heritage (local monuments visits, exhibitions), and share it with partners -We will help them access to a musical activity/ attend performances,

    -Students will show their musical talents

    3.LINGUISTIC LITERACY(literature and languages)

    -We will promote activities encouraging reading, writing various types of texts in their mother tongue and foreign tongue. We will create an online and actual school book club to share about their favorite books and creative writing workshops.

    - Foreign Languages will be worked through collaborating in English or other taught foreign languages.

    -students will discover new languages and learn the basics thanks to workshops during meetings.

    -students will write their own texts in a foreign language : the scenes to play during mobilities.

    4. MATHEMATICS LITERACY

    -We will organize online Math Challenges : puzzles, games, for students to challenge each other and use class lessons in a more fun way.

    -Schools will participate to national or regional contests

    -Math will be used as art to create decors for the scenes

    5. ENVIRONMENT LITERACY

    - class activities such as conferences, workshops, visits will be organized to teach environment lexicon, the various concepts and issues we are facing.

    - actions will be organized to help our students acquire behavioral strategies : trash-picking, petitions, campaign making, presentations,

    -recycling workshops will allow students to create decors/costumes.
