Students’ age: Burak TIRAK ( 14) , Mehmet ONDER ( 14), Aleyna CARMAN ( 14), Betul Ince (14)
School subjects integrated (curriculum): Empathy and Personal Goals (unit 11-16 – UNIQUE 8 Official Coursebook)
Skills and competences developed (curriculum): Performing and responding to basic language functions, such as information exchange and requests and
express opinions and attitudes in a simple way. Dealing with common aspects of everyday living such as travel,lodgings, eating and shopping.
Name of the learning path: Building Bridges Through Vocabulary
PHASE GOALS ACTIVITIES TOOLS REFLECTION
1. Motivation
Finding a job through newspaper advertisements as if you were a member of a particular vocation.
Warm up activities to show or express how important it is to motivate yourself.
Newspapers’ white pages or iternet websites that are sutibale for job hunting.
The learners realize that it is a very complex task to find a suitable and a well-paid job nowadays. So they feel that they should improve their skills in order to cope with such difficult tasks in the future.
2. Planning
The learners will be assigned to choose a job for themselves.
Exchanging resources and brainstorming with your classmates and even with you family members.
Resources like websites and useful advertisements on newspapers. Bringing some documents and/or newspapers will elp the learners for more advice.
They like the idea of going online in a classroom and search the net for a job. It is very challenging for most of them. They envy the idea of creating or dreaming of their ideal jobs and trying to find a company to work for.

PHASE GOALS ACTIVITIES TOOLS REFLECTION
3. Search of information
Trying to search for information is a quite challenging task for most learners so they are guided thoroughly and briefly. They are directed to certain websites and newspapers so that they will not be lost.
Team, pair, group work can be applied in this activity. Also individual work is necessary for internet search and scanning the news ads.
Skimming and scanning the texts are required so they can use programs like search engines for better results on the web.
Working individually may discourage them so working at least together with a classmate may motivate them and encourage them for more creative work.
4. Processing information
Planning and outlining is essential in such works as going through the process may be phased one by one and in each step they can process the details and eliminate the unnecessary information.
Outline is a good way of summarizing your work. So the learners must supply an outline in which they should state the process and the steps they will have.
Definitely Microsoft Excel and a word processor is necessary for organizing your lists. Sometimes gathering information from different sites is also useful as you have an idea what the others are doing. And finally putting everything together in sheets is the main target in our routine work.
Publishing your list in the twin space will certainly creates an overwhelming feeling for most of the learners as they feel like they create and publish something as a real author or a famous writer.
5. Sharing
Sharing is caring and encouraging your friends in a way that they can get more ideas out of it.
They can make posters for their study. Creating calendars is also a good way of showing your works to others. We have had the experience of making and publishing calendars of students’ works and it gives a satisfaction both to students and their parents as they feel like they do something worthy and absolute.
Websites, twin spaces, school bulletin boards are mainly useful tools for sharing your work.
Sharing your work makes it more common and it mostly attracts more attention than expected and it also encourages the rest of the students to participate in one of these activities next time.

6. Assessment
The project brings standard success as it has many things to do with the curriculum, students’ needs and parents’ view. Everyone feels they are doing something useful and educative so they spend enough time for learning new vocabulary and creating ways to accumulate it. They learn the alternative ways to keep in mind and have visuals for the next time they need to remember those words. On behalf of school they also get grades for being a part of it and they not only learn and have fun, but also they get high scores depending on their work.
Making posters, Creating slogans, Commenting on pictures and dealing with different kinds of puzzles are all attractive and challenging in language learning and teaching so depending on their age all the learners can be added to this project. We have our 2nd grades in this project. They have been asked their leading fears through a poster and their reaction was unbelievable.
Using posters, Coloring, Designing twin space, and definitely computers are essential in that kind of a project so the younger students must be guided well in order to be successful.
The kids loved it. Teenagers mostly tackled with the subject so the choice should be very attractive. If you don’t make a good choice they may not participate or be eager to involve in it. But if you are good enough to find good and attractive topics then they create endlessly. Then you start to record everything for your future reference. You may see the examples of our project and participate if you like on e-twinning. The name of the project is BUILDING BRIDGES THROUGHVOCABULARY.

problem of food waste. When all the different groups have had a chance to express their views , they negotiate / agree on the best activities to be carried out
3. Search of information
Gather meaningful data and information on the topic
Team and group work, Students’ field research a- learning about the food we buy :Students go to a food shop, check the sell-by dates and the contents on the packaging labels, and see if they contain substances that are unhealthy(harmful additives, fats, too much sugar, etc), the food origin (locally grown food, imported, etc), the quality (organic, GMO,etc) They also look at the vegetable/ fruit counter to see where these come from. Some students can also research on the net what policies supermarkets have in other countries regarding sell-by dates for example. b- Food waste at the canteen
Internet : web articles, http://www.foodwaste.ie/ http://ec.europa.eu/food/safety/food_waste/index_en.htm ( on this one you can choose your language ! ) http://www.epa.gov/waste/conserve/foodwaste/ http://www.ehow.com/how_8109555_food-give-out-homeless-hungry.html
