Metodologías y procesos de trabajo
The work process will start at the beginning of April: 1.  Partner schools and students will get to know each other by making introductory videos or photos introducing themselves  that will be uploaded  on twinspace 2.  Teachers will obtain the lyrıcs and soundtracks of  some of Queen songs and they will distribute them to the different cooperative groups of the countries involved. 3.  Students take the lyrics of the song and think about the plot of the song. Then they will write a paragraph which shows the meaning and the influence of the song in their countries. They will upload the paragraph with a photo in the blog. 4. After finishing their writings, they will look for different materials (photos of the band, photos of some concert in their country, wallpapers,  soundtracks, videos, film trailers,  lyrics, quotes, sheet music…)  about the song they are analysing and they will make a slideshow showing: - The plot of the song - The meaning of the lyrics - The tips on British culture - The influence on their own countries - The influence all over the world 5.  After working cooperatively to make the slideshow, they will upload it on the twinspace and on the blog. 6.  After all slideshows are uploaded on twinspace, teachers from partner schools will come together on Skype and share their evaluations and choose the most creative one. 7.  Finally, each country will translate the song they have analised into their own language and sing half of the song in their native language and half in another language (one of the partners’ languages involved in the Project).  Then a videoclip will be recorded and all the videos will be uploaded on the twinspace and the blog.

TWINSPACE: ABP (Aprendizaje basado en proyectos)

Me parece un espacio muy interesante para poder compartir ideas, comentarios y opiniones sobre los diferentes proyectos realizados. En mi opinión, poder compartir ideas y proyectos con profesores y alumnos de diferentes países puede abrir nuestro horizonte cultural y puede ser un puente para que nuestros alumnos puedan encontrar la motivación para responsabilizarse de su propio aprendizaje.
