About+the+project

//**What Tales Tell Us**// //**What Tales Tell** **Us**// will consist in adapting H. C. Andersen's tales for the stage. Pupils in Ins Eduard Fontserè and in Zespol Skol w Prezclawiu will work in two phases. In the first they will work on understanding the texts and creating a script; on the second they will produce an online document (possibly a play, but this has to be determined by pupils) based on what their twins have produced.

The texts and the sound files we will use can be found at: []


 * Objectives**


 * 1) Use collaborative and group work to cope with authentic texts in English
 * 2) Reflect on language learning
 * 3) Familiarise with online dictionaries and understand in which ways they are different from translator tools
 * 4) Improve pronunciation and fluency in oral English
 * 5) Rewrite and simplify stories
 * 6) Share and have fun


 * Phase 1 - Up to the end of February**

Pupils in each class will divide into two groups and read one original tale each (Which amounts to a total of 4 tales), listen to it carefully, and once this is done, transform the tale into a script.

While doing that they will be expected to:


 * Create a picture dictionnary (including a sample sentence for each entry)
 * Make a small diary on what they have learned doing the story (Grammar, cultural aspects....)
 * Read the story aloud and produce a podcast
 * Create a script
 * Express what the story means to them


 * Phase 2 - From March to May**

The classes share their scripts. Polish pupils will make a documentary or play out of the Spanish scripts and vice versa. Pupils will be expected to:
 * Make some sort of performance based on their partners' scripts, which could be a play, a presentation, a documentary....
 * Share their production with partners
