eTwinning project : « Free Your Emotions! »

French and Polish pupils have worked on an eTwinning project about Emotions. The project was initiated during a seminar in Poland with 6 French and 6 Polish teachers. They built the project together and used the same Twinspace (a secured European platform) to organise activities in English with pupils aged 12 to 14 years-old. Together, more than 160 pupils created the logo of the project and read the same books but 5 teams were formed to engage smaller groups of students in collaborative activities.

The aim of the project was to work on emotions to feel better at school and at home, related to SDG3 : « good health and well-being »

30 french pupils (5eA) aged 12-13 from Vincent Van Gogh school in Blénod-Lès-Pont-à-Mousson worked with 27 Polish pupils from Szkola Podstawona nr 2 in Pozna with their English teachers Laurence Langlois and Barbara Nsir.

Activity 1 : all pupils read a book from the collection Mr Men Little Miss from Hargreaves. They worked on the feelings and emotions of the different characters.

Emotional portraits

Activity 2 : pupils from each country created a written emotional portrait and a separate illustration of it. Partners had to match the written portrait with the illustration to find out who was who.

Activity 3 : in 7 transnational teams, in the forum of the Twinspace, pupils exchange on solutions to manage different emotions. Then, they created posters based on suggestions made by all pupils.

Posters about solutions to manage emotions

Activity 4 : in 7 transnational teams pupils invented 7 collaborative stories on emotions for younger pupils.

First, they made a description of their main character and used artificial intelligence to generate a picture of their character and agreed on their favourite illustration.

Then, Polish partners wrote the first part of the story and French partners continued and finished the stories.

French pupils proposed 3 titles and Polish partners chose their favourite among the 3.

Finally, all 7 stories were published and recorded by pupils.
