studenti dovranno portare a casa il pupazzo e lo zainetto e tenerlo
per una notte. Il giorno seguente lo riporteranno a scuola e scriveranno
una pagina di diario allegando foto, disegni di ciò che hanno
fatto con il pupazzo.
Gli alunni non principianti in lingua inglese faranno anche l'esposizione
orale dell'esperienza ai propri compagni di classe.
Il sito sarà aggiornato da Guido con il materiale inviato
dalle scuole.
Gruppo
secondarie
Considerate le difficoltà di inserimento del gruppo delle
classi terze in un progetto già avviato si decide che:
· Le classi terze lavoreranno su due argomenti scelti tra
quelli proposti
· Alcuni alunni scelti dalle tre classi formeranno il gruppo
Comenius che si relazionerà con le scuole partner.
Argomenti scelti:
1. La vita in famiglia: le regole non scritte
- Come è formata la famiglia
- Le attività economiche
- L'abitazione e la privacy
- Le abitudini condivise
- Gli anziani e la memoria
2. Moda e cibo - (eventuale)
Fasi
di lavoro:
· Discussione in classe dell'argomento
· Produzione di un questionario da sottoporre alle classi
terze
· Confronto dei prodotti tra gli alunni del gruppo Comenius
· Il gruppo proporrà ai partner 4-5 domande concrete
sui due argomenti per un confronto
· Realizzazione finale del prodotto - breve video
Proposta
per il prossimo anno scolastico:
Se la nostra scuola farà parte del gruppo secondarie, una
possibile semplificazione delle attività dei 4 gruppi potrebbe
essere rappresentata da un lavoro a coppie.

Coordinating meeting in Assen, the Netherlands to be held in May 2001.
A meeting for the involved headmasters has been discussed. No concrete
plans have been developed so far.
At the coordinating meeting in Suzzara in November a videoconference took
place between Denmark and Italy. It was moderately successful. An introduction
has been made between students in each level. The primary group has exchanged
boxes of concrete material. The secondary group have made the initial
work on their project.
The actual project is taking place in Jan-Feb. 2001. The secondary group
has exchanged video films, traditional and digital photos. The final product
is to be shared in April- May of 2001. E-mail is used as a means of communication
both between students and teachers.
A coordinating
meeting in November 2001, possibly in Lysekil, Sweden.
A coordinating meeting in May 2002, in Gaia, Portugal. Possibly a headmasters'
meeting.
A number of activities similar to this year but set up in a slightly different
ways. Italy wants to join in not only on a primary level but also on a
secondary level. This year the project will be organized like this: Secondary:
Holland - Denmark. Secondary: Italy - Portugal. Primary: Denmark - Sweden
- Italy. Outside of this breaking into three groups we still exchange
certain parts of the project between all five countries like we have done
this year. Each country has received and sent boxes to represent their
own country to each of the participating countries. Each in our own country
we have had a number of meetings with teachers at our own school who have
been involved in the project.

Comenius
Study Meeting Oporto 1-5 May 2002 - Report
Evaluation
Overall the impression was that the communication during this year's
project for the secondary group has been poor due to many factors.
The primary group has been a positive experience again. Holland
points out that the building of web-sites has been a positive thing
for the project. Portugal says that our visit during their annual
exhibition is important to them, so our actual visit has been good
for them. Coordinators in all the countries must be more accurate
about communication.
At this year's meeting these
were two students from Holland present. They represented Holland
very well and they stated that their participation at the meeting
in Portugal had a great impact on them. We all hope that their visit
will be a motivating factor for next year's students.
Next year
Primary Project (It - Dk - Pt - Se?)
- E-mail activity
October: send the names of the students to Denmark.
Jane will match the students (Portugal - Italy) for e-mail presentations.
Send pictures with "first" e-mail
E-Mail will go on till the end of the project. Any problem has
to be quickly communicated to the list (see table #2)
- Christmas Project
Every country will present local Christmas traditions: drawings,
recipes, decorations, songs, etc.
Within the first week of December 2002 each country will mail
a package to the others with the typical Christmas cake and all
the stuff related to Christmas.
- Country Quiz
Each country will prepare a web page: Italy will also prepare
the page for Denmark and Paulo the page for Portugal.
Starting January 6th, the students will write quizzes (five clues)
about their country (Geography, history, art, music, etc.). The
quizzes will be eight and at the end of each period the winner
and the solution will be on-line.
Answers should be sent via e-mail and contain:
· Solution
· Name of the student(s)
· School
· Class
· Country.
When ready, all web addresses of the Country Quiz will be e-mailed
to the list (see table #2).
There could be a common logo for all the countries, a suggestion
can be a white dove (?).
The Little Mermaid will be on the Danish web page.

The product will be a Word - file.
It is a survey conducted by students in one country by asking students
in the two other countries questions.
When the students send a mail
they should also send one to the coordinator in their country in
order for her/him to know what communication there actually is.
Students keep a file with paper copies of the e-mails sent and received.
This is their proof that they are communicating.
Headmasters' meeting:
Present were Flemming Starcke-Jensen, Denmark - at the meeting instead
of Henrik Frand-Madsen
Klaas-Albert Blom, Holland - head of department
Jose, Portugal, headmaster
The headmasters discussed the
differences in the educational systems in our countries.
There was an agreement that it is important to keep this international
contact as long as possible.
Next meeting:
Coordinators will meet in Lysekil in November if Sweden is still
part of the project.
The next coordinating meeting
which will also be our last meeting while EU funded will be in Bindslev
7 - 11 May 2003.

Comenius
Primary Level Report - Bindslev 7-11 May 2003
The
meeting started with a deep analysis of the entire project.
School year 2000-01 (IT - DK - SE)
After a presentation of the students via e-mail, every school sent
a package to the others (to PT and NL too). In the package: brochures,
leaflets, maps and pictures about the Country and the geographical
area in which the school is situated. Web pages about Christmas
traditions, recipes, St. Lucia, the crib.
Exchange of videos about schools and participating students. PPT
presentation "Old Times" (SE and IT) about local traditions.
The presentations are on the web site http://utenti.lycos.it/traditions/.
This first year of the project highlighted the problems of computer
in Danish and Swedish schools. A problem that is not solved yet
and that caused several changes in the planning of the activities.
This first year Denmark could not do the "Old Times" presentation
nor could Sweden but Sweden sent hand written pages to Italy and
Italian students prepared the web pages for them.
Second
year of the project 2001-02 (IT-DK-SE even if Sweden was not
authorised by its National Agency, they continued working with us).
Project "Playing with Puppets". Rucksack exchange: Italy
sent Pinocchio, Denmark the Little Mermaid and Sweden Pippi Longstockings.
Each school worked with all the puppets. Web pages about books and
authors, pictures, letters and descriptions, diary written by students.
E-mail activity.
The use of computers was limited, Sweden could make its own web
pages while Italy prepared the pages for Denmark using texts prepared
by Danish students.
Third
year: 2002-03 (PT-DK-IT).
"Christmas package". Before Christmas each school sent
a package to the others with Christmas object, cards and cakes.
Then the "Country Quiz" project started with the preparation
of the web pages but it could not really begin as DK and PT had
problems with computers.
DK and IT started an e-mail activity connecting the two Comenius
groups.
School year 2003-04.
PT-DK and IT decided to go on working together with primary school
students.
E-mails of presentation to be sent as soon as we have the Comenius
groups of students.
Christmas boxes (deadline beginning of December) with drawings decorations,
objects, cakes and anything related with Christmas.
Students should also write a text on how they spend Christmas time
in their Country.
