Description:

Project about triangles around us in Maths, Sciences, Arts, etc ... (12/13 years old)

Work's steps: 

From October to December 2012 : OUR PUPILS

a) Each pupil introduces himself

- Each pupil creates a page with his photo and a small text in English.

- All these pages will be put together into a Powerpoint presentation. On the group photo of the class you will be able to click on zones linked to each pupil’s page.

- Furthermore each pupil will read aloud his presentation and it will be recorded and placed in the Twinspace.

b) Our school, our area

- The school will be presented in English and photos will be added.

- Then we will send real postcards to our partners.

c) Exchange between pupils

- A forum will be created on the Twinspace, the pupils will write messages in English to their eTwinning friends.

- Depending on the number of pupils each of them will have a penfriend.

d) Christmas cards

e) Drawing contest on the topic : Triangles

The pupils ‘drawings will be posted on the Twinspace. The Romanian pupils will vote for their three favourite French drawings and their three favourite Polish drawings, and vice versa (votes through the forum).

From January to May 2013 :  TRIANGLES ARE AROUND US

 a) Vocabulary linked to triangles (lessons + exercises in English)

b) Photo contest

A short text in English will be added to the photo.
