Let's go (window) shopping
(1 x 45 min)

2) to practice 21st-century communication skills
PROCEDURES
STEP 1: Go to THIS PADLET where links to all created shops are listed.
STEP 2: Browse through the websites and choose the products you like best.
STEP 3: Get in contact with the owners of the products using the available Google document. Leave a comment about why you like this product and you would like to buy it.
GO THE EXTRA INTERCULTURAL MILE
STEP 4: Together with a partner from another school or country, discuss the pros and cons of online shopping vs. shopping (and window shopping) in person, perhaps with a friend or a family member. Guiding questions:
What are the differences you might find in both shopping procedures (and in each country)?
What are the "do's" and "don't" for each of you (perhaps from different cities or different countries, different family backgrounds)?
What are the traditional items you shop for with your parent(s) and how do you feel about that situation as a teen?
What are the conveniences and inconveniences you encounter as a teenage shopper? What would you rather see happen?
What are the pros and cons of online/delivery vs. shopping in person in relation to the environment?
After your discussion, connect SYNCHRONOUSLY online (using ZOOM or another communicator where you can record and download a video/audio clip) and RECORD your joint conclusions in a short presentation/talk. Post your recording on this FLIP. Max 3 minutes total recording time. Later comment on other posted videos and think how similar and how different we all are when it comes to shopping. :)

METACOGNITION
Questions for students to contemplate:
How did you approach solving problems or completing tasks in this session?
Were you conscious of your thinking process while working on assignments today?
Did you consider different strategies before deciding on a solution?
Were you aware of any distractions or obstacles that affected your focus during the learning activities?
Can you reflect on your own understanding of the concepts covered and identify areas where you might need further clarification?
REFLECTION & EVALUATION
The process of reflection begins when a person refers to his/her own experience and recollects what has occurred, reconsiders the experience, and reevaluates it. This effective strategy also improves critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
