FIRST ADVICE: "IN TOLERANCE BE LIKE SEA"
Creating a mind map about this piece of advice
In classorom we started a brainstorming about the ideas of 'TOLERANCE' and 'SEA'. Students suggested words connected to these ideas. Then we opened a shared project on Canva webtool: each student added one word/idea. So 8 students, 8 ideas.
Final product for the Italian team
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS PADLET AND AT ALL PARTNERS' MIND MAPS! 🤩
JOINT E-BOOK OF OTHER HUMANISTS AND GREAT MINDS GIVING 'GOLDEN ADVICE' AS MEVLANA'S
Starting from the great humanist Hz. Mevlana and his golden advice, we researched other humanists/great minds from our different cultures, to show the beauty of difference and to disseminate good feelings, emotions and behaviours.
We wanted to show that, despite different religions and cultures, the thing in common is that good behaviour, generosity, love and all these values are universal and that all of us, our young students especially, should consider these Great Minds as great examples and models to follow.
Italian team decided to present S. FRANCESCO D'ASSISI: students searched for info about his life in order to type a short biography. Then they looked for some of his sayings and advice and finally they chose some images and/or clipart to illustrate the slides/pages of the e-book dedicated to him.
JANUARY
MAKING A JOINT POSTER ABOUT THE 2nd ADVICE "IN MODESTY AND HUMILITY BE LIKE EARTH"
Inspired by the second Advice "In Modesty and Humility be like Earth" Giovanni and Lourdes, created a poster by sharing their designing project on Canva. Then they added their final product on the joint poster where all partners added their creations.

GAMES ABOUT FEELINGS USING WEB2 TOOLS
Playing with 'feelings' words was really fun!
Students enjoyed these web2 games about emotions: they played and at the same time they learned vocabulary to express and describe emotions and feelings. Great time together :)
Here you can see pictures of other partners while they are playing, too :)
MAKING A FEELING BOARD ABOUT THE 3rd ADVICE: " IN ANGER AND FURY BE LIKE DEAD"
Inspired by the third Advice "In Anger and Fury Be like Dead" students (not only students who are taking part in the project but even other students from different classes and ages,too) did activities about their emotions: first they investigated both negative and positive feelings and then during Art classes they represented them using different colours, subjects and materials on a so-called "Feeling Board" to be finally displayed at the Etwinning Corner of our school.
Other students debated about feelings in art and started another work in 3 steps.
Here are the first, the second and the third step
OUR ETWINNING BOARD IS CHANGING EVERYDAY, LIKE EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS :)

4th ADVICE "IN GENEROSITY AND HELPING OTHERS, BE LIKE A RIVER"
All partners made videos and/or collected photos of students involved in actions and situations representing generosity, a virtue that should always flow limitless...like a river!
This is our video made using the webtool "Genial..y"

5thADVICE: ’’CONCEALING OTHERS' FAULTS BE LIKE NIGHT
Our task is empathizing with others by choosing proverbs in mother tongue and making a poster in mother tongue and then creating a joint video of all posters.
For our advice we have chosen a proverb in our dialect: Sicilian.
It sounds like that:
"If your tongue wants to say something, ask your heart first".
In our mother tongue (Italian) it sounds like:
"Se la lingua vuole parlare, deve prima al cuore domandare"
Our student FLAVIA is working on the poster using Canva.
On the padlet below you can see all partners' posters. Have a look at them!

After a brainstorming of ideas, we collected their tips and suggestions on a shared document.
