    PROJECT PLANS AND RESOURCE LINKS

    BEGINNING:

    Teachers will assess pupils current knowledge on the key areas that they are teaching.  ​This will form the baseline assessment.

    SETTING THE SCENE:

    1. Each school will use the eTwinning Journey’s resource to identify where the partner schools are. 

    2. Pupils will use atlases to help them to identify where each country is and pinpoint them on the map.

    3. Teachers will pinpoint these on a large version of the map on display in the classroom.  

    4. Take a photo and share on the twinspace.

    5. Use Thinglink to pinpoint your school on the map and put additional information about your school.  https://www.thinglink.com (see instructions for using thinglink in materials)

The message could be part of a travelling journal, where students write about one topic (food, for instance). Either upload pictures of passport to partner school(s) or send by post and ask your partner school to do the same.
