    • STEP 5  Conduct a survey- (create a chart with the fairy tales they know and they grew up with and number them according to choice and popularity-

    Each country uploads a grid with the first fifteen (15) fairy tales our students grew up with. Then we assign agroups to compare the results and complete a list with the fairy tales which are common in all involved countries).

                             NEW INSTRUCTIONS

    MARCH
    • STEP 6    REWRITE A TALE- Each group(all countries involved) decides- votes for one tale they like and they rewrite it. For example, Spain 1 makes the beginning, Greece continues, then Romania, Czech R., Spain 2 and Slovakia. This means that every country writes only a paragraph –which is gonna be easy.

    In every group a different country begins the tale .

    AFTER THAT all students vote for the best rewritten tale- this way they develop theircreativity.

    NEW INSTRUCTIONS:

    We will be divided into two groups:

    GROUP 1:Greece(beginning) -Spain 1(middle)- Czech republic (end)

    will rewrite the fairy tale of "The Beast and the Beauty" in a power point (or any other tale you agree upon)

    GROUP 2: Romania (beginning)- Slovakia 1  (middle)- Spain 2(middle)- Slovakia 2(end)

    will rewrite the fairy tale of "Cinderella" in a power point (or any other tale you agree upon)(or any other tale you agree upon)
