How have we done?
(Polish team has been in charge of this common work)
Three groups of students were formed, with students from each partner country in each group. Students worked in groups in four sessions of three hours each. The host school (Polish school) provided the 3 groups with separate computer rooms for their work during the 3 work sessions. The task of each group for the work sessions was to prepare a PowerPoint presentation concerning the assigned subject:
The presentations were elaborated according with the index and presented to all the participants on a separate day as the final product of the meeting. Each group had 30 minutes to present its work. The quality of the presentations were assessed by all the participants of the programme (teachers and students) using a special questionnaire during the presentation, which was elaborated previously and is in the section “documents” in this Webpage.
After these three presentations there was a longer break and then students met in national groups in order to discuss their assessment of the presentations. Every national team reached an agreement on the final assessment (number of points) they assign to every presentation. The national teams had 15 minutes for this discussion. The agreed points from the questionnaires were calculated and the winning team (Group number 2) was given a reward.
