Project description

The children around some schools in Europe will be invited to look inside other children's lives to analyze differences and similarities. Through the CLIL approach they will develop some learning skills: compare, using diagrams and draw conclusions. WAKE UP EUROPE is pretended to be an easy project for young kids, based on their own experience and focus the learning of relevant skills in an easy and fun way.This project invites students to do a presentation in different format( paper, digital...)of their typical day including aspects such as school, home-life and friends. They will then be given the opportunity to explore typical days from students in other countries and examine any similarities and differences. Partner Schools´ works and conclusions will be recorded in a digital format(e-book). This project will be worked with children aged 7 to 11, depending on each school, bearing in mind pupils will play the main role in the development of the project. Although the activities in Pepe Dámaso will be carried out with second and third graders (7/8 years old), all pupils at school will be involved in the project by working activities adapted at their levels within a general year planning that will take a trip around the world as central topic. Through clear and easy activities we aim to promote curiosity, exploration, knowledge and reflection of cultures involved in the partnership and provide interaction with other children in ways that facilitate the development of expressive language and thought. The planned activity of recording a video at home will facilitate collaborative work with families. Children with special needs will be able to follow the project by substituting written language by pictures and oral presentation.
