Creative Drama in eTwinning

there? What season is it? What's the weather like? This was to focus on Present Continuous and the use of adjectives, describing a place, the weather. Students had just to imagine and travel to another place. After the song ended one student (especially the shy ones or the ones that aren't very good at English) had to mime and the other guessed what it was about, the place etc. Some students told their dream in words, in sentences. At the end I let them watch the video of that song (Emilia Marina Alexe).

21. Three days ago we went to a medieval castle, not far from our town, built by the crusaders who conquered Greece in 1204 AD. The visit was related to the history the children are taught in the 5th class. Before the visit the children made their own shields, swords and crowns "for the ladies". The boys chose a lady that they would fight for, she tied her scarf up her knight's arm, the boys fought with each other in groups and the winners bowed and honoured the ladies keeping their scarves. The children were really excited and loved it. Furthermore we visited the whole castle, the museum, learned about its history and had fun (Eugenia Papanikolaou).

22. I tech German in a middle school in Italy. My twelve-year-old students have just finished the chapter about food and drinks. Our partners in Finland learn also German and eating and drinking habits. Every group has to perform a specific drama. An idea could be to set up a drama workshop to go into the topic. Team work and creativity are the most important ingredients.

Aims The students think about different approaches to food and drink in other countries, cultures, times, ages, in movies, advertising and so on; They achieve more autonomy taking the responsibility to carry out the plan from the storytelling to the staging; They use the foreign language in a communicative context; They become aware of differences and similarities and various points of view on the topic Warming up 20
