Students of class II G of the school "L. Da Vinci - O. Nucula" in Terni took part in the etwinning project "LEFT: Learn English with Fine Tunes" and had the chance to listen to some songs in English. The songs have been chosen both by the students and by the teachers. Students created language games and activities on each song and shared them among all the partners of the project (Italy, France, Portugal). We collected all the works in the ebook below with the aim of using it with different students the next school year and we share it because we think it might be useful for teachers and students of other schools too.</div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This school year students of class III H of the school "L. Da Vinci - O. Nucula" in Terni took part in the etwinning project "Invent your future". </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inventions, as opposed to what people often think, are often the result of a teamwork and thanks to digital technology cross borders.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We wonder ... to what extent collaboration between European students can lead to creation ?</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Thus this project aims at enhancing collaboration between teenagers from different European countries in order to create an invention.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />

Here are some info on the inventors students found working in mixed nationality groups.</span></span><br />

We also created another ebook with stories from all the partner schools involved (Georgia, Ukraine, Greece, Italy (Venice and Terni) and with the aim of celebrating the European Year of Cultural Heritage.<br />
We started this book with a common introduction, common characters different stories and a common end.<br />
Students worked both at school and at home using photos, drawings and writing the story in google docs to be more collaborative and to share their work with all the students involved in the project.<br />
<br />
Here is the ebook<br />

Some days ago, while I was reading some posts on facebook groups for teachers I came across this post here <a href="https://www.weareteachers.com/anchor-charts-101-why-and-how-to-use-them-plus-100s-of-ideas/">https://www.weareteachers.com/anchor-charts-101-why-and-how-to-use-them-plus-100s-of-ideas/</a> that is about anchor charts. And I wondered ... what is an anchor chart? Lets read!<br />
So I read the article and it reminded me of mini posters I used to create for my students some years ago but there is a difference: an anchor chart is a mini poster the teacher starts then the students finish, or that teacher and students edit together and even better ... students create it for other students to finish. So ... I decided to create a couple of anchor charts for my first and second year students, I brought them to school, presented them to the students and explained they could create some too.<br />
They can be created using some cardboard and colours and/or using ICT.<br />

Da Vinci - O. Nucula" of Terni created some short stories following the steps suggested from Cambridge University Press within the preparation of the Cambridge global story competition.<br />
(more info here <a href="http://www.cambridge.org/elt/blog/2017/12/15/enter-story-competition/">http://www.cambridge.org/elt/blog/2017/12/15/enter-story-competition/</a>)<br />
<br />
All the stories have been sent to the competition and we also created a nice ebook and paper book with them so the students will read their stories to their mates at the end or at the beginning of an English lesson.<br />

<br />
To create this ebook all the students from the partner schools chose 5 images from their culture and shared them in a collage in the padlet below. They explained the meaning of the photos and then commented on each other collage.<br />
<br />
<div class="padlet-embed" style="background: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); box-sizing: border-box; overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 100%;">
<div style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">
<iframe frameborder="0" src="https://padlet.com/embed/t5jxew95drsj" style="display: block; height: 608px; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%;"></iframe></div>
<div style="margin: 0; padding: 8px; text-align: right;">
<a href="https://padlet.com/?ref=embed" style="border: none; display: block; height: 16px; line-height: 1; margin: 0; padding: 0;" target="_blank"><img alt="Creato con Padlet" height="16" src="https://resources.padletcdn.com/assets/made_with_padlet.png" style="background: none; border: none; box-shadow: none; display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 0;" width="86" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
After that they were divided in teams from different schools and each team had to choose 3 words from the padlet and create a story. To do so they worked in a google doc shared with all the partners.<br />
<br />
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTz49MIfRmdqNeZEQNWfrUMg55lN_BiHMyRJKpZNe7h6-xRzlwu4C9nphC-EimHzuoe4EhxvG5gxSD9/pub?embedded=true"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
Using an online tool to write a story collaboratively has been a new experience for our students and they had to get used to it, respect what the other had written and be careful notto delete anything: a new task and a bit of a challenge fro them but also a very nice result!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This project also wants to raise awareness on the importance of each country cultural treasure in the European year of Cultural Heritage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Students introduced themselves using a post in a padlet which is an online billboard, then they worked in groups in class and described their school, their town and their Christmas tradition using "talking photos". To create the photos they first took photos then used an app called PicTalk to add the baloons. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The students had the chance to collaborate in small groups all of them gave their contribution to the work. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are the results</div>

After having introduced themselves in a padlet (an online billboard), the students started listening to songs and created activities on them as in the examples below.</div>

French students worked on the song "My name is Luka" by Suzane Vega and here are their activities.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So all the students of the partner schools will do the activities they prepared for each other.<br />
They will also discuss about their favourite songs and singers, choose and listen to other songs and create more language activities together.<br />

Students of class I G of the school "L. Da Vinci - O. Nucula" in Terni are carrying on with their etwinning project called "Teenagers in Europe".<br />
After celebrating the European day of Languages in September they have started to introduce each other in the TwinSpace of the project and got to know their Finnish peers.<br />
They talked about their hobbies and pets using padlets as in the example below.<br />
<br />
<div class="padlet-embed" style="background: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); box-sizing: border-box; overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 100%;">

</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finnish students created surveys Italian students filled in and Italian pupils did the same so they came to know each other tastes better, in fact they talked about themselves, their possessions, their pets and hobbies, their reading habits and so on.<br />
<br />
Here are the Finnish surveys:<br />

Here is the Italian survey created by all the students during an English lesson using google forms:<br />

<br />
To strengthen the link among them, they also exchanged messages in etwinning and wrote letters in the old way using paper and pen and of course received letters from Finland too as you can see in the video below. They loved this activities and all of them took part in it with enthusiasm.<br />

To display the cards we got from the other European countries we decided not to create a cardboard poster but we wanted to be more creative and ... here are our "Card trees"<br />

They also studied the novel of manners and read some pages of "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Some days ago they watched the movie too and now it's the turn of English! As Jane Austen was English and her novels are very popular around the world still nowadays here is a padlet with some activities for my students. They can cary out the tasks I prepared for them and also add some info writing a post on their own.<br />
So ... let's enjoy Jane Austen and her works!<br />

The last activity our students have been involved in was "Stories from and for films" which saw students working in international groups. A group of students created the beginning of a story starting from the ending of one of their favourite film, then the other students from the other groups continued the story until the end. As students from Norway, Portugal and France are still going to school some of the stories haven't got an ending yet so ... start reading the stories and come back to this blog in a while to read the end! </div>

Within the etwinning project "Music and charities" students of class III H of the school "L. Da Vinci - O. Nucula" in Terni collaborated with their French friends to create a magazine with some of the activities of the project.<br />
After having talked about some singers committed in charities students created and played online games on them, here are some examples:<br />

<br />
<br />
Then they wrote articles on singers, searched for info on charities and created posters.<br />
<br />

This project was a wonderful experience for them because it helped the students to improve their English and digital skills but also because they became more aware of living in a bigger place that is the European Union where there are a lot of different people who speak different languages. Kids loved all the activities but the ones they liked best were the Skype sessions with Ukraine and Romania. </div>

Students of class II H of the school "L. Da Vinci - O. Nucula" in Terni created an audio book of the Novel "Bleak House" written by Charlse Dickens.<br />
This activity was part of the "BFG: Books for Friends are Great" etwinning project.<br />
The pupils chose to read this novel and after having read it in small groups they created storyboards using the app <a href="http://www.storyboardthat.com/">http://www.storyboardthat.com/</a> to let their French friends read and enjoy the book.<br />
French pupils did the same with another book "Deadly Jobs".<br />
After the storyboards Italian students also created an audio book using <a href="http://spark.adobe.com/">spark.adobe.com</a>.<br />
The book is not perfect, there are both spelling and pronunciation mistakes, but the students had the chance of reading, creating storyboards and also practicing their reading skills.<br />
<br />
Here is the result.<br />
