- Pupils learn to work together on an ICT-based project with their counterparts from abroad
- Teachers learn to integrate ICT-based projects at primary level
- Parents get involved in making festival-related objects and preparing the play and exhibition.
2. Process
i. Getting started
- Two classes from two different countries gather information about their festivals and ceremonies
- In each class, the children read and discuss the info they know in their mother tongue;
- The pupils in each class establish the scenes to be illustrated and divide the work;
- Pupils use various techniques to design/draw the scenes.
ii. Exchanging information and learning from each other:
- The pictures are photographed and scanned. Then, the classes exchange and print them. They organise an exhibition in their schools;
- The digital pictures made by pupils in both classes are put together in a PowerPoint presentation;
- Each class creates an audio track for the PowerPoint presentation version of the festival in their mother tongue;
- Both classes listen to the description in their partners' language and compare the two languages
3. Outcome
- The final PowerPoint presentation is published on the Internet (for example, on school websites or in the public “TwinSpace”)
4. Follow-up options
- More work on foreign languages can be done. Pupils may look for the same, similar or different words. They may also compare the language similarities or differences;
- Partners decide on objects to produce. They should be related to the theme.
- The festival is put on stage. The children perform it for their parents and other children from the school;
- The project outcomes may be exhibited and presented to the local community;
- Every child gets a CD with the festival and pictures from the project;
- The project outcomes are shared with the press and at conferences for teachers.
Dear Sibel and Diana,
Your project is coming along nicely. If you don't mind, I have
changed some thins around. The pictures are now in a nice gallery
that you can add to without taking up a lot of room. Also, I arranged
the aims and outcomes into neater section at the top, and moved this
discussion forum to the bottom of the page. Previously, on the right
hand side of the page, it would have taken up too much room
