e-Twinning project 2007 - 2008

 * __Title:__** **"Travelling with our e-story"**
 * __Description__ :** **The main concept is - all the partners - to create ONE**
 * ο****n - line story which will be the synthesis as much as many pupils ideas.**

Each part of the story may concern : **Global values*** like: **Equality, Friendship, Freedom, Love, Loyalty, Brotherhood, Kindness, Tolerance etc.**
 * __Partners__: Portugal, Greece, Austria, France, Latvia, Bulgaria, Germany, Spain**, **England**
 * __Language:__** English, Portuguese, Greek, Austrian, French, Bulgarian, Latvian, German, Spanish
 * __Age:__** 4 to 6 years old
 * __Aims:__**
 * Pupils become familiar with the ICT trying to explore and adapt in their school life new platforms of communications like WIKI and Blogs.
 * Each part of the story, will be a teamwork of the whole class, because we target to a correct educational procedure in the classroom more, than to a perfect final product.
 * __Content:__**
 * Each school can choose what they want to be their main idea* on which they will develop their part and keep going the story having 2 common characters for ALL partners: a DOG! and a kid
 * Each partner has to upload its part ( we suggest: a short text with 4-5 illustrations ..this can be a various kinds of ART : **using on the Paint, a hand drawing, handicrafts or whatever pupils like** ) in the 3rd week of its month like this:
 * 1/October: **GR** 2./November: **AT** 3./ December: **BG** 4./ January: **DE**
 * 5./February: **FR** 6./March: **ES** 7./April: **UK** 8./May: **LV** **9./June:** **PT**
 * The whole story will be created gradually on the WIKI http://travellingstory.wikispaces.com/ by all the teachers and pupils.
 * We can also build the Blog http://bloggydoggy.edublogs.org/ where all partners may exchange info, various activities concerning highlights from the Dog in each country, comments about of their work, favourite music & songs, pupil’s voices recorded, short videos etc.. giving one more interactive way of action to all partners..
 * Through the year we also make - all together- a travelling DOG-doll .. each partner adding some extra materials to the received Dog. They keep it for 3 weeks and then, they send it to the next partner school.


 * __Suggested Work Process in the classroom:__**
 * **Teachers start the story (their part) leaving ‘gaps’** **which the pupils can ‘fill’.**
 * **We ask pupils to keep the story going, helping them with ‘open questions’**
 * **We write down all our pupils ‘versions’ and then move on to a synthesis.**
 * **We choose those versions, sentences, even words they can integrate our story in many ways and offer a good follow up to the next partner school.**
 * **Teachers and pupils make the final version, may they type the text on the computer.**
 * **Pupils narrate it in their native language and they record it.**
 * **Teachers translate it into English and they also record an English version**
 * **Interactive pupils’ comments on the other’s work are not only ‘acceptable’ but a target the teachers have to aim at in our Blog.**
