Strangers on a (Dublin) Train-The Writing Competition

  • Once they had seen the episode and started getting into the art of storytelling, it was time to pay attention to:

     

                                                                             

     

    A Story between Paula and the 6 other characters that never ended up sitting with her.

    We let Wheel Decide decide which character each student would have to write about!

                                    CHANCE decided for them:

     

     

    And we gave each  student their task with the instructions:

     

              FIND HERE THE 6 HANDOUTS    

     

    And the following Rubric for Co-evaluation,  as the first selection of stories would be done by themselves:

     

     

    We balanced the groups according to the initial number of students in each of them, to try and make it even. The first selection would be done in the following way:

    2 Groups of EOI Hospitalet (Jose) with 2 groups of EOI Girona (Anabel) 

    2 Groups of EOI Hospitalet (Griselda) with one group of EOI Pamplona (Laura)

     

    A deadline was given, and off they went...           .

     

    Teachers would exchange the PADLETS with their group(s) stories and the students from the other school would select the best 12 to go to the semi-finals. At this stage, they were not voting on their own stories as others would so do.
