Teens issues and advice

3rd year students are studying how to ask for and give advice using the structures should and could.
So this morning we had the idea of creating a teen column similar to the one you find in magazines and we also imagined that in their ideal school there is a place where to talk about teen issues and discuss about their solutions.

The activity is as follow:
- students think about 2-3 issues each;
- they write the issues on the padlet called "Teen issues" that is both here and in "edmodo";
- they can use their real names or they can use a nickname or an invented name.

After finishing writing all the posts:
- all the students read the issues their mates wrote
- try to find a solution to at least 2-3 issues each
- post their solutions in the padlet called "Teen advice column"

At the end of this activity students will discuss in groups about the advice and decide if they agree or disagree with the replies.

School is cool: creating logos.

Tuesday last week (Shrove Tuesday!) students of class 3 As started creating logos for the etwinning project "School is cool" using online logo creators such as logomakr and tagul. They worked in pairs giving and asking for advice to each other to reach the best possible result.

In this padlet you can see the results:

Now we will be waiting for our French friends' logos and after the padlet is finished we will vote for the best logo so to choose it as the official one for the project.

School is cool: a presentation of our school

Students of class III As created a video with clips and photos of their school and some activities they do to let French students of the etwinning project "School is cool" see it.
We hope they like them and we are looking forward to seeing their school too.



To make this video students took pictures and videos, prepared descriptions then spoke while there were filmed winning their fears!
They used Power Director, and PhotoMapo, then I put everything together using iMovie.

It's really a very

School is cool: etwinning project 15-16 in class III As

"School is cool" is the title of the etwinning project we are involved in this school year in class III As in Stroncone.

This is the certificate of our project that involves schools in France, Croatia and Poland.

The main aims of the project are:

- improving the communication skills of our pupils in English.

- improving their digital skills
- promoting active citizenship

The following pictures is an overview of the activities that students will carry out during the school year.

During the last few weeks 3rd year students accessed the twinspace (the online site of the project), created their profile using voki, sent messages to their partners, viewed the French students' videos and vokis, uploaded some photos of their schools. 

In the following weeks we will finish the work we have already started about our school: the students will take pictures of the different classrooms, describe them in a video.
