    June                                                                                        

    Most of schools are still closed because the pandemic. Schools which can open don't have access to their ITC equipement.

    Despite the difficulties, most of partner schools keep on working in the project until the end.

    • Students keep on working online at bookcreator.com to create a polyglot T-shirt design.
    • The pupils keep in touch via Forum to get their "quotes" in the languages from their friends abroad.
    • Every student is invited to evaluate the project (Students' evaluation questionnaire), online (Google Form) or by a printed paper sheet (at open schools).
    • Every teacher is invited to evaluate the project (Teachers' evaluation questionnaire).

    Our schools are still closed because the pandemic. So we decide to work on the final activity of the project from home.

    Every teacher is invited to:

    • collect quotes in English from children's books, songs and movies.
    • create a digital book at bookcreator.com and share it them for pupils to collaborate by working on their pages.

    Every student is invited to:

    • choose one of the quotes in English and translate it into their language/s.
    • use the forum to help each other to translate into the languages from friends abroad.
    • work online at bookcreator.com to create a polyglot t-shirt design displaying the quote chosen in the different languages.
