We were asked to prepare presentations about Christmas in our countries. There are 6 countries taking part in it: Slovakia, Czech rep., Poland, Estonia, Turkey and Germany. Obviously, I'm responsible for the German part, despite being Slovak :) However, this is also a way how to bring my culture to my German pupils.
So my puils have worked hard to describe their food, customs, markets and much more. I think they have a great advantage of speaking the project language as natives, since all schools participating, must make their presentations in German.
Here's a picture from how we estimated the topics and decided who would do what:
We've decided to do this project with the 8th class, since they are at the age closest to the other countries, and at the same time, they should learn about making resentations.
The pupils are paired into groups of two and are given interesting topics. Pity is, that we can only work on this project once a week for 45min., but the kids are doing their (almost - as usual) best and some are already done! Next week we should complete the unfinished ones and also make a selection of our favourite Christmas songs. I'll upload some presentation or the link to the web site where they'll be stored.
Looking forward to that :)
