TURKISH ROOTS

  • Turkısh ROOTS TEAM has kicked off...

    To be more clearly firstly we wanted to add two short videos about our city TRABZON ( a coastal city in the north of Turkey) and our school KANUNİ ANADOLU LİSESİ.

    Our School

    Our Project ROOTS was introduced to the students in the classroom...

     

    My students got involved about which country roots they will be found out.

    They really felt excited when hearing to be learned about out partners roots...

    They shared their pre-ideas about Turkish Roots...

     

    All were volunteers....

    .

      During the Project process the Turkish dtudents have worked hard to share about the Turkısh roots by the time they have learned many things about our European partners; Norwegians,Portuguesses,Serbians nad Latvians.

    While we sometimes studied on the new sharings about our partners on the pages, we also share our own Turkish roots on twinspace.

    And they started prepare their last presentations about what they have learned about our partners thanks to our project.

    Students are finding out and presenting about the partner roots...

    To improve and practise their speaking skills they created their Avatars accoring to our partners stereotypes and they presented the partner countries as Avatars.

    They are loading their Avatars..

    In the last meeting they shared their presentations about each partners...
