1. Break the ice!

  • Welcome! Let's get to know one another before we start working together!

     

    A - Complete your twinspace profile:

    Choose a photo or create an avatar, and tell your partners who you are - you can write 100 words only, make the most of it! :-)

    Tools to create avatars: http://doppelme.com/ (save the final image as gif), http://www.buildyourwildself.com/

    Click on your name at the top of the page to have access to your profile.

     

    B - Self-portrait: a guessing game!

     

    1)  STEP 1: Your self-portrait through an object. Choose ONE of the following options:

    Option 1: show and tell: select ONE single object that really matters to you, an object that says something about who you are (your personality, your lifestyle, your values, etc). It can be a very simple object, it can be old or new, big or very small, whatever - it’s up to you.

    Option 2: what's in my school-bag: take everything out of your school-bag, then select 3 items that say something about who you are (your personality, your lifestyle, your values, etc).

    Option 3: a selfie that says something about who you are (your personality, your lifestyle, your values, etc).

     

    2)  STEP 2 : Take a photo of your object (or 3 objects) and upload it onto the first padlet below. Or upload your selfie. Give a number to your photo but don't write your name.

     

    3) STEP 3 : On this 2nd padlet, write a post or post a voice recording (or even a short video!) to explain why you chose this object / these items from your school bag / this selfie. Explain what this object says about you. Maybe you have an anecdote to tell? Give as many details as you can: this object is a pretext to talk about you! But be a bit mysterious: don't mention explicitly which photo is yours or which object you are talking about - give a few clues, that's all!

     

    4) STEP 4 : Read your partners' posts, and try to guess which photo belongs to who. Then go to forum #1 and check if you are right! The title of your forum post should be the name of the partner. Tell him / her which clue helped you find out! Also, tell him / her if you share some common points, maybe you can be team-mates later?...
