1st year Etwinning project

 During the 1st week of March students are required to :

• contact with other team members (emails provided)
• set a date to meet online via twinspace (chat room or live room).

The objective is to get to know each other and share roles and responsibilities.

Remember you must fill in your meetings calendar worksheet where you plan:

• meeting days
• roles rotation.
• The discussion leader will be the responsible to write down the learning journal on twinspace wall after every meeting.

Here I provide you with a meeting calendar.( distribution of chapters and meeting weeks).

Here you'll find the meeting schedule worksheet and your role worksheets. (resources section).

A final project will be required at the end of your reading. (in process). This will be presented at your school and in the French mobility by the students who take part in it (28 May-3 June 2018).

In September 2018 we'll start the second round of readings.

Reflective Learning Journal

The twinspace's wall is yours, dear students, so you can share with us any image, video, activity that you do while implementing your etwinning project. Apart from that, teachers would like that each time you meet online, the discussion leader will be in charge of explaining on the wall your conclusions and findings. I provide you here an example of reflective journal you can follow. But...first, what is a reflective journal?

 

• What is Reflective Learning Journal?

Reflective journal is designed to help you think deeply about your learning, especially on issues such as: your progress in learning, the difficulties you encountered in the process of learning, the strategies you have taken to get around those difficulties, and your evaluation of your own performance.

• What can you get from writing reflective learning journal?

         For the study, writing a reflective learning journal helps you:

• bring together theory and practice,
• yield better understanding of the course material

         For your development as a successful and independent learner, it helps you:

• See your strength and weakness as a learner
• Find out the methods of learning which suit your own learning style
• Notice how you can improve your learning in the future
• Gain a clearer picture of your learning progress and so in a better position to plan your learning
