eTwinning project "Be a buddy, don't be a bully"

1. Comiso, Italy, 9th
April 2017
Dear all,
I hope you are doing well and you are enjoying our project.
In this paper you will find the guidelines about the “bully” cooperative story.
Because of Easter holidays we will start later, so the first group will be the
KINDERGARTENS’ and they begin 23rd
April.
After Kindergarten, it follows Primary School then Low Secondary School and finally
Secondary School.
Because of the different educational systems, I divided the groups according to
student ages, for this reason, the Spanish team will be the last one. Please, note
that schools close the first week of June in Italy, so the cooperative story must be
ready at the end of May and then we have to do the evaluation of the project. I
remember everyone that in most countries the deadline for applying to the Quality
Label is the end of June. Anyway, we will talk about that later.
It follows the calendar of the Cooperative Story.
1) Starting group: MEROPI AND PENELOPE from GREEK KINDERGARTEN
SCHOOLS - (pupils from 3 to 5 years old)

We are teachers and we know that team working gives the best results just if each
member cooperates respecting the others, following the guidelines and the
deadline, too.

4) Each team can write from 5 up to 10 slides.
5) Don’t worry about finding the title, since we have multiple authors, the title
will be written at the end of the story.
6) Every team will work at the story for 7 days. In case he needs less time, he
can inform the next team so that they can anticipate or having more time to
think about the story and drawing.
7) The work is supposed to be done by pupils coordinated by their teachers:
the drawings (pictures, illustrations) and the plot of the story will be to
realized by pupils with the help of their teachers.
8) The language of work is English. Some mother-tongue elements can be
added if order to enrich the story.
9) Take pictures of your students at work and share it on the twinspace in a
private folder (PAGES) if you have close-up pupils, alternatively you can hide
the face and publish all the pictures in the Project Journal of the Twinspace.
10) Don’t forget to disseminate our work with your colleagues, community
of teachers and the site of your school or local newspapers. If you do it, put
the link of articles or whatsoever in our twinspace so that every member can
enjoy your contribution to the project.
