         <description><![CDATA[<p>Within our eTwinning project, students read the classic English story <em>Rapunzel</em> and rewrote it using their own sentences. Instead of simply retelling the story, they recreated it by placing themselves in the roles of the characters. They staged the scenes, took photographs, and transformed their work into a digital storybook.</p><p>They also recorded voice-overs and published their project as an audiobook, which helped improve their pronunciation and speaking fluency.</p><p>Before starting the book creation process, informative Zoom meetings were held to introduce the digital tools and applications they could use. Throughout the project, students effectively integrated technology and AI-based applications to enhance their work.</p><p>This project reflected students’ excitement, strong collaboration, and dedicated teamwork. It was not only a storytelling activity, but also a creative and technology-enriched learning experience.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN LITTLE DWARFS - The activity began with reading and analysing the story together. Students discussed the characters, plot, and moral of the fairy tale, sharing their ideas and impressions. After that, they divided roles and responsibilities – some students were in charge of writing the narration, others created dialogues, while another group focused on illustrating different scenes.</p><p>The texts were written in English, with special attention to vocabulary, spelling, and grammar accuracy. Through collaborative work, students exchanged ideas, suggested improvements, and supported each other in shaping sentences and dialogues. Creativity and personal expression were strongly encouraged throughout the process.</p><p>The illustrations were created using various techniques, and all the materials were later combined into a joint digital picture book. In this way, students developed their English language skills (reading, writing, and speaking), improved their digital competences, strengthened teamwork, and gained confidence in using English in meaningful, real-life situations.</p>]]></description>
