This project is for my 4th Graders and it is based on the Coursebook Unit 5 Lesson 3 Habits and Customs.  Firstly, using the Quest button on my interactive book in class I gave my students the stimulus and the idea to look for more information. Because this would be a presentation project I decided to use flipgrid app so they can get the chance to enjoy and practise at the same time. After, students formed their own groups and I structured the project in steps which I gave them in writing.    

STEP 1: 

Find information about Christmas customs in other countries and talk about similarities and differences.

You can look at:

• www.gnto.gr, the site of the Greek National Tourism Organization.
• http://dim-sapon.rod.sch.gr, the website of the Primary School of Sapes.
• http://11dim-evosm.thess.sch.gr, the site of the 11th Primary School of
  Evosmos, Thessaloniki.
• http://dim-rizou.pel.sch.gr, the website of the Primary School of Rizos.
• www.haef.gr, the site of the Athens College.

STEP 2:

Write down your information and separate it into parts so that everybody in your team can present one part.

 For example,

• Season and the weather
• Decorations
• Food and drinks
• Events

You can use expressions like “In Greece, people ….. whereas in Great Britain ……”

Once you have all the necessary information organized you should practise your presentation.

This is a project based on 5th Grade Student’s book Unit 2, Lesson 1, Exercise H (Portfolio). The educational purpose was to use reverse classroom practice so as to give students more time to practise their speaking skills. To this end, I asked my students to form pairs and suggested their using flipgrid which is a Microsoft educational tool that extends classroom time and space. So I structured this project in the following steps:

STEP 1:

Educational Scenario:

Imagine you are a reporter from the school newspaper. You are taking a similar interview with a famous person you like and admire, like the one in Lesson 2, page 30. It can be an interview with an athlete, a singer, an actor/ actress, a writer, a painter, etc.

STEP 2:

Write 4 or 5 questions and add the answers you got. Use magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, the Internet, or the class books for your Greek lessons – eg. Anthologio for information.

This project was based on the layout of the Geography project, Lesson 3, Unit 1 of the 6th Grade Coursebook and its purpose was to foster the 4 Cs (Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication) on an educational level and to practise Speaking and Writing skills on a linguistic level.

The format of their educational product followed the layout of the book because this would give them a rubric to refer to. More specifically the layout was the following:

• Name of Country-Borders
• Landscape
• Weather
• People
• Feelings 

Students were divided into 5 groups of 4. They needed to compose a product namely write a report by working the first 4 parts. Each group needed also to decice who of its members would undertake to find the material for each aspect of the topic apart form the last one -Feelings- which they had to discuss and write on a plenary level in class time. When they finished, their report was handed in and made into a presentation which was discussed in class.
