    Materials:

     

    On thursday Maria Villanueva especially stopped by the school to give a guest lecture about immigration.This presentation was given to put the teacher on to thinking about immigration. The main question of this presentation was: 'When is someone really an immigrant?' Maria told the teachers about the different times in which people fled their country and became an immigrant. If you want to look back to the presentation and use it in your own mini-project. You can download it from the logo above.

     

    Tugba gave a lecture about the literature on Wednesday. To support the theme of the project there should be some literature. Tugba told a lot of details about the literature she used. She used an award winning article about intergration of immigrant children. 

     

    Literature

                                                                   

    The literature that was used in a lecture by Tugba. She let the teachers use this literature with an interactive way. The workform that was used is the gallery walk. The teachers had to team up and read their own good practice. When they read it they had to discuss how they could use these good practices in their own schools and envoirments. Then the teacher go to the next poster, read that good practice and add their contributions about how they would use this good practice. 
    In this way the posters got four different opinions how they should use these practises in the different schools. After the teachers have seen every good practice they return to their own poster and make an inventory of all the comments and will present these to the rest of the group.
