OUR SCHEDULE

This year, we decided to work on a new subject : TOLERANCE.

We had worked on our schools and subjects in 2006-2007 and we had worked very well together. Our schedule was the following:

TOLERANCE / INTOLERANCE / BULLYING       

 Our students will have to work in teams and send their work to their penpals except when it will be a class work.
Work will have to be sent on time. Students will first have to show their work to their teacher for correction before putting it on the plateform.

 October :

Write to your penfriend and ask about his/her holidays. Write about your holidays and write about the start of the school year ( new things, new subjects, new teachers ...)

November :

 - what does TOLERANCE mean to you ? ( possible in class to work on brainstorming first ?)

 - give a definition of tolerance ( personal definition). What does it mean for you ?

 - give a personal experience of tolerance.

 - give a personal experience of intolerance.

( The examples should be something they have lived or seen)

 Their definitions and testimonies would then be recorded with audacity and put on the twinspace.

December :

 - what does BULLYING mean to you ?

 - what is a bully ? what does a bully do ?

 - students do the quizz on http://news.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/specials/bullying/default.stm

 - express ADVICE and OBLIGATIONS against bullying ( make a document Word or Powerpoint on the topic. It would look like a poster)

January/February :

The aim would be to send 2 documents to our penpals.

The first document would be a photo or a painting referring to intolerance OR bullying.

The second document would be a text they would have invented about intolerance or bullying.

  - sending the 2 situations to the penpals.

 - work on the documents in class and send a reaction + advice on the situations.

 
March/April :

Choose (according to you) the most tolerant person in our World history. Write about HIM or HER.

 - explain his/ her role in our history.

 - explain what he or she did.

 - justify your choice.

May / June :

Choose photos / drawings / paintings / pictures on tolerance or bullying or intolerance.

It is possible to draw them.

Use those pictures to make a film with Windows Media Player.

Music and words must be added to it.

The Czech will vote for the best French film and explain why.
