4) We give information to our students and their parents about the task " A good deed for an animal in need", as the good deeds can be done throughout the school year.  

Students play the kahoot game on the rules for helping animals.

OCTOBER - DECEMBER

1) Students visit the page  "Our collaborative book" . As a class, they choose in  the mind map the 10 animals they want to include  in the collaborative book. 

From October 1st to 8th, each class vote the chosen animals in the poll at the bottom of the page. 

The 10 most voted animals will be written in the table on the page.

2) From October 10th to 17th, teachers  write in the table the names of the students who will be working on the various animals. We will have ten trasnational groups. Each class should be divided into groups composed by the same number of pupils.

Please, write the names of your students all together and at the end write your name and country in brackets.

e.g.: Student's name, student's name, student's name....( Teacher's name, Country)

3) Students work in trasnational groups, each group on a different animal, searching for all kind of information and investigate about the rights and problems of animal in their country.

Students can communicate with the members of their own group, using the "Discussion" at the bottom of the page.

We make a collaborative book which contains a section for each animal, and this section is completed with information from different countries (e.g. Dogs, Cats... in Europe).

A final section is dedicated to the legal issues about animals in each country involved. We write a short text about the laws on animals in our country. 

JANUARY - FEBRUARY 

1) We complete the chapter of the collaborative Book about " Legislation on animals in our countries".

2) We visit a kennel or a centre for animals or other facilities. We interview an expert, vet or other operator who works in the facility.

We make a video of the visit and we add it to the Twinboard on the page " Students visit an animal facility: videos".

MARCH - MAY

1) Students design their idea of an animal-friendly town, using texts, drawings, posters and other. They make a documentary to share their ideas.

This documentary is a video (1 per school) that  will be uploaded to the Twinboard on page 8: then I will add it to our TV channel "Animal World".

You can have a look at FORUM ( 'Creating our documentary for the TV channel "Animal World'), if you need some ideas.

2) Each class draws our motto " ANIMAL = FRIEND". We upload the photos of the drawings to a Twinboard.  However, schools can get the label as " Animal-Friendly Schools" and they are allowed to display the label in the classroom, corridor or outside the school only if students will present in the documentary some good deeds to animals they really did.
