Description: The aim of the project is using the Mind mapping as an innovative method in the classroom work in order to learn English. Holidays are an important part of our life so we decided to present them in a new way- through MINDMAPPING and BRAINSTORMING. We think that it`s a good way to motivate children to learn more about national and international holidays and to share their ideas with the partners from other countries. Work process: We intend to use MINDMAPPING through the learning process in the classroom especially for representing holidays and celebrations. We are going to motivate children to draw their own pictures and drawings and use different ICT tools- software, power-point presentations, videos, e-mails, exchanging drawings, pictures and ideas. Students are going to develop their language skills and interests. Common Result/ Outcomes: Developing language skills, learning more about Holidays, using ICT, solving problems, successful collaboration and communication, working in School Teams, individual expression of creativity.
