Working on Storytelling in class

   During the 2nd year GoFor project, partners agreed on start working on storytelling in our classes. This will be the motto of second students' exchange mobility in Estonia, where they will be working in mixed nationality groups in order to write a story. In order to be successful, we considered essential to work on this previously in our classes, as well as creating a mail chain where each partner will develop 3 pages long section of the same story. This will be a model for a our project students.

   During January, we've been dealing with stories' structure, grammar, vocabulary to get our students ready for the project task. Moreover, our students have participated in an itinerary of storytelling tasks: sequencing, free writing, whole-class story, grammar exercises, create your hero... timed. This helps our students to develop their language skills, their critical thinking, creativity and autonomy, as well as learning to work under pressure.

   After the lesson, students were invited to leave their comments (the most you like and the least you like) in a panel.

Etwinning Project Reading Circles

   Our 4t ESO students have been involved in a new project entitled Reading Circles where , in circle groups , deal with an autonomous study of the graded reader Frankestein (Oxford Readers B1). By means of performing a study role (collector, word master, discussion leader, passage person, culture collector and summariser) , each student dives deep into the novel, prompts open questions and discuss with other his/her views. One session per week will be devoted to this task. And roles will be each week rotated.

   To help slow learners, they are provided with a set of question cards to encourage to brainstorm questions and possible answers according to their role assigned.

And the winner is...

Go for..... Spain!

Our 4t ESO C student, Ana Millan has been rewarded with the first prize of our European GoFor Logo Contest. Congrats Ana!

So now on, this is our project image. Awesome!

1st TPM GoFor

   From the 28th November to the 2nd December 2017 we've hosted two teachers from each country taking part in our project such as Estonia, Germany, Turkey and France to work with us and share their education perspectives. We've spent some days having meetings at INS Marina as well as taking part in other activities to get to now La Llagosta and Barcelona's culture. It was an enriching experience! See you all again in Germany, next mobility :)

   Here you've got general information about the 1st TPM.

   Here you can see a video and some pictures of the mobility.
