TEENS 4 TEENS

February is over and we ended with the last surveys after a short break due to the open day at our school. (you can also see a presentation about that).

Students get more and more used to the work they should do, the E-Twinning platform is not longer a stranger for them.

Looking forward to doing the next tasks.

All Polish studens are interested in this project, but some of them...a bit more. As a teacher I am very pleased that the project is not limited to the classroom and school but the students want to work at home. Isn't it a good idea to enter TwinSpace instead of playing computer games

This time one of the students prepared the results of the survey  "My favourite..." in graphs. (teachers can also learn form students!!!) All our participants will use the graphs to draw conclusions about ...

Both teams added the photos and presentations about the places they live at the beginning of the project, but this time we explored quite new tool for us - Google Earth. The students found Wedemark and Włocławek on the satelite map and ordinary map. Knowing how Google Earth works it was a great fun to look at our places from the sky. 

We hope that our students will use this useful tool to learn geography and plan their holiday excursions. Now they know how to use it !

We added ...

The survey consists of 6 questions. A student must choose o1 of 3 answers: never, rarely or often.

1. How often do you hurt or upset someone in order to go along with the crowd

2. How often do you do something that makes you feel bad about yourself just because other people want you to do it

3. How often do you do something that you know is dangerous just because other people want you to do it

4. How often do you damage other people's property for fun with your ...

We asked our students what is peer pressure according to them and we received they opinions. The participants of the project could express their opinions but what they said is also very valuable ...

Polish students had two-week winter holiday to recharge the batteries.

Today we worked hard on the presentations about ourselves. Sometimes the students haven't been to the other countries and so they don't have an impression about the life of the project partners.

So, we try to give an impression of what is going on in a rural region in Northern Germany and especially at the Realschule Wedemark in the beautiful region of Wedemark.

Enjoy!

The students did more surveys looking for their similarities and differences. When the surveys are completed the participants will analyse them and draw conclusions. We will have separate classes to do this task.

Last week we started working on the - so far - most difficult topic of our project: peer pressure. Students tend to have problems to talk about their experiences and feelings, if they are connected with the feelings of lost and fear.

So, it was not just a challenge concerning the language to talk about this topic, which is strongly connected to highly emotional parts of their lives,  but also concerning their own personal teenage problems.
