Our school will be collaborating with one of the schools from Thailand for the school-to-school project which is Suankularb Wittayalai School. You can check Suankularb Wittayalai official school website via the following address: http://www.sk.ac.th
We are going to work on the theme of Travel Guide and below are the five steps on how to conduct the project retrieved from the BCCC official websites:
BC Connecting Classroom
Stage 1
What are the the interesting places? How can you get around? When to is the best time to go and what are the interesting facts about the town in which the students live in your partner countries?
Let's find out!
Download the Questionnaire from the link below and ask your partners some questions about their town. Fill in your name and details on the left of the form and then think of 5 questions to ask.
When you've finished, don't forget to save your work and then upload the file by posting a reply to this project stage 1 topic.
Done all that? Move on to stage 2!
Stage 2
Well done! You got to stage 2.
Now it's time to answer some questions about your town. We've made things easier for you by putting the questionnaires that everyone uploaded into an easy place to find. Aren't we good?
Choose a questionnaire from stage 1. Read through the posts and choose a questionnaire uploaded by someone from another country.
It's a good idea to talk to everyone in your class so that you don't all choose the same ones! Try to make sure that you all answer some from each of the 2 other countries, too.
When you've answered the questions, don't forget to save the document to your computer then upload it to this topic by posting a reply. Write the name of the person you are replying to in the notes with the attachment you upload.
When you've competed the task, you're ready to move on to stage 3
Stage 3
Now it's time to talk about the answers you've received from the questionnaires you wrote.
What were your findings? Did you find out lots about interesting places to visit, when to go and how to get there?
Let's use this topic to post comments and more questions if you'd like to find out more information for your travel guide.
After the discussion, there are 2 more stages to this project! The next is the exciting one where you make your travel guide!
You can find out details of what to do in stage 4.
Stage 4
Now that you've learned a lot about the towns and cities you all live in so it is time to present your work in the shape of a travel guide.
It's up to you how you do this - on your own or as a team, as a PowerPoint Presentation, a short video clip, an audio clip, a leaflet or poster or whatever - it's up to you, your teacher and your class to decide, but you must be able to upload the finished presentation so everyone else can see your work and give you some feedback. If you're not sure, you can use our 'Travel Guide' template by downloading it from the link to the attachment below.
When you've decided what to do and you've completed your work, upload it to this forum by posting a reply to this topic as usual.
We'll put them all together for you in a folder and you can then go on to
stage 5, which is the final stage in the 'Travel Guides' project which is evaluating the work that you have done.
Stage 5
Congratulations! You've got to stage 5 and the final stage of the 'Travel Guides' project!!
Now its time to choose one of the fantastic travel guides on the towns & cities of your countries that have been completed by you all.
Choose a presentation from stage 4. Download it, have a look at it and see what you learn from it.
When you've done that, download the 'Travel Guides Project Presentation Evaluation Form' from the link beneath this topic post and complete it. Don't forget to fill in your name and other details and then upload it to this forum by posting a reply to this topic.
Make sure you enter the name of the person's travel guide that you are evaluating in the details box under the attachment.
We are going to do this project stage by stage. So i will need teachers who teach subjects like English, history, geography, art and ICTL to assist my BCCC students throughout the whole process of completing the tasks required for this project.
