VIRTUAL MOBILITIES
(School year 2020-21)
The last mobility of our project was scheduled to take place between March 31st and April 4th in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this mobility could not be carried out. We proposed a virtual mobility during the extension of our project in the school year 2020-21. This virtual mobility was organized in two working sessions.
The tasks for our planned mobility in Italy were:
1) To prepare a mock ECLD lesson where our pupils will help migrant student use computer.
2) To write and sing a song: Italian music teacher worked on the music: Luf-verso Un Altro altrove (folk) . Then we will be able to write the song: each group is meant to write a single part of the song in their own language. The Italian group will also write the chorus in English (the song will then be made up of three parts in different languages and a chorus in English).
Since our first participating students were involved in their final exams for level 2º Bachillerato we should look for new participants in each school. We found new enthusiastic students who wanted to join the project. They are 15-16-17 years old. They wrote a short essay: “Introducing myself” talking about their personal details, families, physical appearance, hobbies, pets, etc. They shouldn’t insert any photos for this presentation.
The two virtual sessions were scheduled for Wednesday 12th May and Wednesday 19th May. Google meet links were sent to students and teachers.
For the first session we organized a “Guess who” game. The students got to know each other and tried to relate the written essays to the people who participated in the session.
During the second session on the 19th May, students wrote a paragraph of the original song in their own language and at the end of the session they sang the song.
