Steps January- March

Let’s start collaborative activities!

• In addition to the song by Bruce Spreengsteen, how about finding other songs, poems known in all our countries, that allow to start the reflection on human rights, respect, racism, migration? Which singers? In Italy known abroad, there are Jovanotti, U. Tozzi, Ghali .... Other foreigners: U2? In this way, we could consolidate the skills of Italian, English and French of our students. We can use padlet/google presentation, Linoit for sharing reflections. Are you agree?

​

• How about starting a correspondence? Estelle, what do you think? Italian-French letters

​

​

Let’s start collaborative activities!

• Anna Torino proposed a padlet for sharing reflections about Don Ciotti’s Webinar. Do you agree? Padlet is on Twinspace. Legality is a good way to make a framework for our project.
• Our migration’s stories: we have to collect them. Google folder? Youtube channel, using stayhumanmail@gmail. com account? Blendspace? Others tools? Blendspace is good!
• What do you think about differents pages in twinspace for their interviews? We could create several pages. Me, Anna Hawlic, Estelle Hanryon and Anna Torino could collect students’ materials Yes, we will create differents pages!

Law course! April

Vertical collaboration activity

• Laura Sisca is a Law teacher at secondary school II°, in Italy. Her students could prepare in italian, french and english some lessons about rights for younger students. Our students could study them and comment. Do you agree?

In this way we could reach the goal of the study of law through collaboration with children of secondary school grade II. It is a beautiful opportunity!

​

Epistolary romance? May

Collaborative writing

Epistolary romance could be a good way to push our children to reflect on what they have learned this year, putting themselves in the shoes of the many migrants they have known personally or whose history they have read.

​

Google doc is the best way for collaborative writing

​
