No Barriers for eTwinners

 My students recorded their voice for our e-storybook's 5th and 6th pages during an online class.

Our class is on Christmas holidays from 22 December to 8th January. We couldn’t record the story during the last lesson at school, so yesterday on 28th Dec I met online some of my students, the volunteers.   They had a great time reading the whole book and learn about the phonetics of some unknown words. We had a lot of fun when they weren’t able to pronounce French words and had to repeat them many times. They loved doing this activity.

It was exciting to meet all these sweet partners and know about them. At the beginning of our meeting, we-the teachers- introduced ourselves to each other. Then we watched some videos and presentations about Turkey, Kayseri, Balıkesir, Italy and Brindisi. It was nice to learn about these places.  After meeting, we had a short question survey about favourite breakfast food of students using mentimeter and we formed a word cloud altogether. Later, the students introduced themselves adding their favourite breakfast food to their speaking. As w...

My   students and I met Tuba,Antonella,Emanuela and their students online. We watched videos about our coutries and our students had a quiz on breakfast food. It was such a fun meeting. Thanks you all !  

On the 18th December there was the second meeting with two secondary schools from Balikesir, Turkye. It was nice to meet Demet’s students and see again Arzu’s students. First one student from each school spoke about a topic forone minute. Then  the  students enjoyed playing  a quiz with the app Kahoot about  Georgraphy, History, monuments, food of Italy and Turkey. Finally one Italian student played the keyboard a medley of various  pieces  such as Op9 n.2 by Chopin, Riverflows in You by Yiruma, Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin and Megalovania by Toby Fox. Thanks to my Turkish colleagues for this moment of joy before our Christmas holiday  

We had some online meetings to study and record our e-story. While we are far from our students, it is really hard to do tasks but we do our best.

  https://vimeo.com/492648782 My students from Osman Hilmi Kalpaklıoğlu Secondary School, Kayseri, TURKEY studied on pronunciation of words in the first two pages of the story. Then, when we are ready to read them correctly, we started our recording. It was a teaching experience for them that they will never forget the pronunciation of these words and they will be careful while reading everything in English. We are very curious about the rest of the story and the whole of the story with its pictures, sentences, story and recordings. We are very happy to be a part of the whole So many imaginations in one work!

Writing a story is all about an imagination and using the right words. My students imagined and trusted their vocabulary, while we were writing the third part of our e-storybook today. They were amazing. We used to write bad scenarios all the time, maybe because of our society; but this time I tried to convince my students to think positively. No, the bike will work well. No, our characters won't meet a bad man. In the end of our work, they convinced me to make it rain in the end of the picnic.  Today my students experienced writing a story in a harmony, using words in a logical order. First of all, we read the first and second parts of our story. Secondly, we searched for the last words of second part ( Śmigus - dyngus ) to start the third part. Thirdly, we looked at the details of the picture made by Yunus Emre İmam Hatip Secondary School students. Then, we started to write our part. For the second page, we chose a partner country to search its culture. After brainstorming and fi...
