How to make real friends (during the project)

 - Introduce yourself: 16 October - 05 November

  Create Padlets for each team. Upload a real image of the each child. May children write a few sentences about them. 

Remember - one team will prepare online matching pairs for another team and will upload on the page. I will add a table to be visible to which team you are going to create matching pairs.

 - Create partners' visit card - 13th November - 18th December
I will write a list and you will know which team's country ( briefly - continent, flag)  and, at least, three landmarks of the native town of our partners your students have to present. Create a video/presentation, presenting your team's work and design what you have  found on the Google shared presentation so that we can create an ID card of each team and have this as one of our common outcome.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         link to Google slides:                                                      https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/129kA5llzTip1wAQ4NnPclt3Yy3kRIw3zAydrtocCTr0/edit?usp=sharing

I created a common email for our project. We will create accounts in websites we are going to use in the project. With these accounts students can work on the project task when they want - any time, even at home.

Common email to register one username in the website we will work with is:

email: etwinningthink@gmail.com

password of the email: etwinningstudent

With this email, I sign up on Poplet

Username for Popplet: etwinningthink@gmail.com

Password: student

Children will open the link and add the information to make a mind map about the Hans Christian Andersen"s life. On the page of this activity you will see what information you are required to enter on poplet mind map.

Think, collaborate and create

 - Something to saling 21st January - 30th January

Children will suggest ideas and vote to choose one idea to continues the story. 

For the next three activities children will be devided into international team. I created Answergardens, where sudents will enter their names, according to their desire. There are three moments in the story that we are going to change in mixed international teams. Each child must join one of the three teams. 

In each team there will be students form 4 countries - Poland, Italy, Czech and Bulgaria. Our children are small and it is not possible to let them talk about the task they must do together. That's why, I divided the work they must do in each team in goups - A, B, C, D, E.  For example the children, who join the first team, must change the story after the the girl burn the first match. Children from Bulgaria will suggest new heroes and describe them. How they are look like, what are their qualities. Children from Poland will give a name of the hero and tell us more abour them. Chilren from Italy will draw pictures to illustrate the heroes. Czech children will write a short text - how the story continues with this new hero, how the story develops. At last, The Bulgarian team2 will write the story on the document. 

 - Burning of the first match - 1st February - 27th February

 - Burning of the second match  1st March - 30th March

 - Burning of the third match - 1st April- 30th April

 - Our heroes: draw the heroes, choose a name for the Little Match Girls and the young woman - from 1st February - 30th March

 Challenges - during the project

VERY IMPORTANT - Our children speak a little English. For some of them it is the first year they learn English at school. We have to do the tasks in our native language and then to translate them into English to be understandable for other participanst.  If your children are skilled in English, let them use English, if not (like mine in the first grade) - talked about the project tasks in your native language.

We are a great team!
