Presenting a collaborative Project to my students in class 1^ D

This month we are going to start a collaborative lesson with some students  living in Spain and in Canada.

The title is of the  collaborative  project  is  ” Art can help us  find  connections”.

This is my video presentation about what we have been asked to do and to share with the other  students who are living in other  parts of the world: I have used a nice tool online which we might use to create some videos for our presentations which we might  upload on  Youtube. It is called Lumen5.

You will all use the English language…………………………..what a nice   experience online !!

 

The main steps will be shared with the other  teachers who  are working  on the  project:

  • you will have to introduce yourselves
  • you will have to post  some videos and presentations about some painters who were born in our region
  • you will have to describe the paintings by using  some modern tools for recording
  • you will be working while the other students from other  classes will be working online and  make their own presentations.

You will have to work together in class and from home and be creative!  I am sure that you will manage and become  great   presenters online.

Meanwhile  start thinking : we will share some texts  and work on the project on  Thursday in class. Any ideas about the painters?

Remember that this will be  a collaborative  task in which you will all have to work  to upload materials on our Padlet.

Padlet is  a platform where you will be asked to post part of the main tasks we are doing. I will give you some  help and links to tutorials online. We will share  it with other  classes.   I am willing to see how you are working and what interesting images and  paintings  you are going to work online and present to  the other  friends we have online.

 

Describing a Painting in English

It is important to be able to describe an object or a painting in English. I would like you to watch this video describing a painting by Van Gogh: Starry Night

 

Your  Task

Now choose a painting that you like and try to make a presentation of  it: you will have to observe and describe the image of the painting and then explain what you can see , the technique used by the painter and what kind of images and colours  he/she chose.

Good luck for your work!
