Pupils had a pre and post evaluation in Italian language

They all said they didn't know the Ancient Jobs and poor life occurring a Century ago but they recognised some tools that are in some attics ( Ancient iron, some cutlery...)

Thanks to the project they could discover some.mysteries of our local Hisrory and Now they are much more curious about them.

Follow up activities were done in ART ( Drawing fish of the river, Ancient Jobs and tools...); in ENGLISH with vocabulary, wordsearch,dedicated pages; in ITALIAN ( writing an article and a letter about the trip), in MUSIC ( searching and listening to local Songs about our river);

In a special transcurricular path (Art Music,Italian English) about the course of a European River.

Pupils also made a hand book on Ancient Jobs ( shown at the 2nd Transnational meeting)

GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY and SCIENCE were fields of work , of course.( The course of the river, the Ancient tools and Jobs, the fauna ...)

Practical Competences were fostered and, above all, an increased interest in our Cultural background.

This trip was a very good start up, going back in the Past with REAL CONNECTIONS with out PRESENT.
