I generally  use pictures, videos, brainstorming of ideas, quotes, songs, text… . I want my students

 think critically I usually lead them to ask themselves why, for what, how, and soon to go further of the the lessons investigating themselves; Collaboration is constantly implemented as wellsharing ideas and trying to help each other. 

 Creativity Is also encouraged through several tools such as :  Titanpad, story telling ,  movie making , presentation ;

To assess work we often use rubrics shared with students , so they are guided during their work knowing which goals they must reach

 I often use 4 C's skills methodology and I have been trying to implement it through eTwinning projects . I think that  some challenges are: the syllabuses, the institutionalized mindset (of teachers and parents...), the timing, the elaboration of appropriate instruments of evaluation and the setting of the right learning outcomes.

Benjamin Franklin

student learning new skills and concepts is like a carpenter building a house order to build the house safely and correctly carpenters need to stand on scaffolding until they're ready to move

on to the next stage of construction the construction of learning starts from the

ground up the new is built on top of the gnome in the learning environment

teachers provide scaffolding to support the construction of new learning for individual and groups of students scaffolding provides students with the just right supports they need to

participate in learning complete a

challenging task or learn a new concept scaffolding encourages students to continuously grow and develop to a level that is just above their current level scaffolding is a way to gradually shift the responsibility for learning from the

teacher to the students and help

learners become more independent

scaffolding builds on the understanding that students learn in many ways build new knowledge based on prior experiences

 

               

The subject topic of the project was “solidarity”and the driving question was :”What can I do to be solidal in my family, village, class, country?”

They would investigate ,looking for solidarity associantions existing in our country , but also in our village, they might take part to them or they might lance the idea to found other solidal assiociants dependindg on the needs of our village and would invite other friends to collaborate ith them.

·       It’s un open-ended question because  It will allow students to develop more than one reasonable answer.

·       I think the question will spark curiosity and engage the teenagers who like to talk about what affects them. 

·       It is a non-googleable question which requires the student to examine different aspects of their daily lives (school, family, leisure society, politics, education, culture, environment, technology, health, food, fashion, democracy and human rights ...), to measure their relative importance to finally identify the most important situation for them.

·       Is it aligned to my learning goals
