Week 4 Challenge: A collaborative activity

Project title: Be The Change 

Subtitle: Students school problems (Learning difficulties , bullying , school life with its ups and downs)

         Needless to mention that the project will start with ice -breaking activities via video conferences and padlet/ videos of  the students and partners to get to know each other. 
     
       As for Week 4 challenge, I've chosen the first part of my project which is Brainstorming. 

    Stages and Tools

 Stage 1: Tool 1: Padlet  

    Teachers will start this huge project with a very simple question: Do you like school? Why?  why not? 

Students will post their answers on a Padlet created for this purpose. At that level all the participants will have their own say about their schools. 

Teachers  should be here to read and check the students' answers and comment also. 

   On  twinspace and on the project journal:  teachers should highlight the fact that to be able to find out the students problems, they should focus on the students whose answers were about the reasons why they hate schools.

Teachers then check the language the students use to express their ideas. These ideas, indeed, will be the starting point of the second stage.

 Stage2/ Tool 2: Video conference / Any presentation tool (Genially/ emaze)

    Teachers sort out the students' answers with negative attitudes towards school .

Teachers  will use twinpace ,the chat box, the project journal to decide how to divide the collected answers among the students:  each partner will give his/her students the other partner's students answers for more interaction.

     To discuss what they found out: A video conference would be the best option to discuss the final findings.

Here  teachers will focus again on the receptive/ productive skills while listening to them interacting with the partners.

   

  Stage 3/ Tool 3: Coggle.it

  That is the final stage of part 1 of the project: Problems to be solved

Teachers start the Coggle.it doc for them . Students then will visit the doc and add the different problems they were able to find out from their project mates answers.

 The positive answers will be left at the end of the project to give an optimistic ending to the whole work.
