A short description of the project

  • The main idea of our project is to start a multinational partnerrship to improve our students' communicative skills in English  with a particular emphasis on effective reading, writing and the use of ICT.  We will try to achieve our goal by using a variety of web tools and teaching techniques. The tools to be used are all the tools provided by Twinspace as well Power Point, Prezi,  Calameo, Tricider, Monkey Survey and Titanpad.  The  technique will be collaborative teaching.  The students will be divided in national and transnational groups in order to carry out this project.  The students will analyze the different dimensions of the American Dream and will contrast and compare the way it has influenced our European lifestyle (entertainment, work, social values and trends).  The students will present their findings by using web tools.  The presentations will be voted with the use of a digital voting tool.  The students will also produce pieces of art, posters, virtual interviews with Native Americans/Afro-Americans, letters to the authorities about the appeal and the consequences of the American dream  to the local communities. The final product of this analysis will be an e-magazine, where the students will upload the material they have found and created.
