Kind Is Better eTwinning Project
About the project
When children begin to interact with their environment, they sometimes exhibit undesirable behaviors. Our goal in the project is to enable and encourage students to put themselves in others' shoes, both human beings and living beings, gaining greater awareness about the importance of proper behaviors. Most activities will be based on a collaborative use of the IT. The project also will involve teachers and student's families. Partners will use both English and their own language.
AIMS
Students discriminate correct and wrong behavior about themselves first and then the others. They carry out their assigned tasks independently and collaboratively, demonstrating their sense of responsibility. They express emotions while respect those of the others through creative writing, storytelling, drama, games, drawing...
