Jornades Erasmus at INS Celeri Bellera

   Catalan Education Department invited us to join the latest Jornades Erasmus to disseminate our project results and show other Catalan school teachers our enthusiasm while working under our Erasmus and Etwinning project Go For Literacy to Enlighten your Future.
 Attendees were given pencils and pens of the project, our evaluation actions and selection of students actions were shown as well as other project issues such as dissemination, project's fair, results, our twinspace and etwinning project; reading circles and storytelling.

GoFor Flip!

Our project students become teachers for a day to show and teach other students their basic expressions in their mother tongue. Here you've got them, enjoy!

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.

C1 Mobility in Borken (Germany)

   From the 18th to 24th March we've spent some days in Borken (Germany) to visit its vocational studies school Berufskolleg in Borken where we have attented quite interesting workshops as well as sharing the best stratetegies to work reading in our classes.
    Among others, we've been discussing which activities to include in our project manual "The Teaching of Living Abilities with Literacy: A Training Manual, Reading Strategies". We also assessed previous actions and future actions to be implemented at our high school, among others, The Project Book Fair. We also set the date for Estonian mobility next September 2018.

                            

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.

Prior to our 1st TPM

Dear friends,

We've been working really hard to design a programme that meets our project partners' needs. They are coming to Barcelona today and they will spend two days with us at INS Marina.. We're attenting meetings, we're visiting the school (job shadowing) as well as La Llagosta town with our Mayor. Hope you have a great time! Welcome dear partners!

Teachers' Meeting

  Today we've met to discuss and agree to implementing an Etwinning project at school which is linked to our Erasmus + project "GoFor". This project, which is students-oriented and competence-based , will be useful for our 4t ESO students to improve their linguistic competences and enrich their European conciousness. Moreover, our aim is to give visibility to the projects and other lively activities we implement in our language lessons here, as well as getting to know other countries' methodologies, activities and students' projects by implementing this collaborative project.

 Thanks a lot for your effort, dear workmates!

Our project "GoFor" is in AniraM press

"Gofor" Erasmus + Corner

Dear friends,

   This year "Literacy Day" last 8th September was celebrated across the world under the theme Literacy in a Digital World. At a record speed, digital technologies are fundamentally changing the way people live, work, learn and socialise. In order to meet our students' and scholar community needs, we've created our Erasmus + corner digitally online. Do you want to know more about this new project that has been approved? Which are the countries involved? Where are the students' mobilities planned? When will they take place?...

Workshop Coordinators of a recently approved Erasmus + project

During the 28th and 29th September, we've spent two days in Tenerife where we attended the workshop organised by SEPIE (our National Agency) to give us feedback and information on how to deal with an Erasmus + project. In the workshop, we learned about coordinators' tasks, partners' tasks, dissemination and impact measure and ideas, outcomes and requirements by our NA. It was indeed a profitable experience. #ErasmusPlusSepie #ErasmusplusCat #Goforliteracy
