Writing stories to the E-TwinSpace of the project wasn’t a simple matter for the students. It was a good reason for starting work on curriculum development for creative writing lessons. We looked for some partnership in supporting the English teachers and motivating students. With the Writing Olympics having been announced in January 2011 by Peace Corps volunteers in Ukraine we got a nice chance for our collaborative work. Countries participating in the 2011 contest included: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Philippines, Romania, Tonga, and Ukraine. Our goal was not merely to encourage the Queen`s English, but to give students the opportunity to develop original thoughts and share them with the international community within the Connecting Classrooms project. Sharing cultural information from the student profiles submitted as well as the messages of Students’ Voice to find out how they and their partners view themselves and ther involvement in the project work. Inclusion areas : ethnicity, faith, teens’ lyfestyle, family values. Session Titles: Starting From Scratch, the Six Questions, Chain Stories “One Day of My Life”, Storybook Make Believe , Recipe, Letter to Grandchild
During January-March seven lesson session were conducted both by the teachers participants of the project after a training session suggested by Anrew Cartwrite, PC volunteer, and more than 140 students were involved. The Lesson plans have been worked out and the Lessons Outline is suggested to the partners school on the E-Twinning Space. In the result the stories One Day of my Life, Recipe, Letter to Grandchild were placed in the TwinSpace of the project ( Blogs, Students profiles, Pupils Corner), were sent by e-mails to partner schools, were written in paper letters and brought to Cyprus Coordinators’ Meeting in March and handed in to Malta, Cyprus school coordinators for their pupils. More over the best stories were sent to the International Writing Olympics contest.
