LC 1+2 Echoes from the past; Poems for the future (CA)

 
 

In 2005 we celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands. The Dutch high school, Sg. St.-Canisius, participated with a successful project, called Echoes. At 5 May 2010 we will celebrate 65th Anniversary. Maurits Kamman, a history teacher, took with his bilingual class the initiative to start a second Echoes project, Echoes 2. He collaborated with Marc Vreeswijk (ICT Co-ordinator at Canisius) and Bob Hofman (Global Teenager Project).
The purpose of Echoes 2 will be connecting past, present and future together in `Echoes from the past; Poems for the future`

Phase 1          

 
September- November 2009.
The Echoes 2 (Kennisnet innovatieregeling 2009) pilot will be covered on twinschools.nl.

Workshop 24-09-09

One TTO-class (a bilingual class) from Canisius will work together with a class from Miramichi Valley High School via a wiki, video conferencing and web clips. The purpose is to find out when and how to implement video conferencing or web clips into your lesson. The pupils will have to make a poem, which will be saved in the pupils’ language portfolio as web clips.

 
 
Phase 2
February – May 2010
Learning Circles Echoes from the past, poems for the future.
 
We will link 24 Dutch and Canadian schools together; Dutch and Canadian WWII veterans and soldiers in Afghanistan will be consulted during the Learning Circles as source or expert. The product of this will be the various poems (written and on web clip) made by the pupils in their portfolio.
