Objective:

5. Concept which allows teachers to share
resources with their pupils and to collaborate
easily with teachers from umpteen countries,
which gives the students an opportunity to study
at their pace, to study differently depending on
their learning styles (different types of resources
are offered),
which permits them to work in groups and help
each other, build their own learning and go
further than they would have in a traditional class.
For instance… 5

HOMEWORK SCHOOLWORK
Studying 5 texts/videos in
groups of 4 students
maximum (reading and
listening skills) while making
notes.
Different documents  leads
to information gap in class.
Studying a video (Ted Ed
video for instance) with
varied tasks to complete
before class.
Sharing information on a
topic (each group gives a
short talk), the peers ask
questions/interact.
Alternately, each group can
write a short article on
Fodey (speaking, writing
skills).
Discussing the answers and
debating about the video.
Explaining what was not
understood.
Going further.

20. Upcoming eTwinning project
 eTwinning project involving 4 schools (British and
American International Sections) with Chris Segond,
Debra and Heather Bainbridge.
 Building Bridges: From 3e Inter to 2nde OIB
 In this project, four international sections will come
together to build links. This project focuses on the
difficult steps of transitioning from a 3e
International Section (British, in our case) to a
2nde OIB section (one American, one British in this
project). We will ask our students to talk about their
fears and expectations, to give each other good
advice for preparing for the 'next step', and
discussing reading and the reading process, an
essential part of the work we do in the section. 20
