Task
- Teachers,
working in a circle of 3 classes, establish their communications
with their colleagues.
- Classes
present themselves to their partners. Presentations should be
imaginative, ideally interactive, and can include pictures and
drawings.
- Each
class writes the beginning of a story (development of the characters,
the setting and the problem).
- This
beginning is passed along to the next class (via the project
co-ordinator) in the circle who develops the main body of the
story and sends both parts to the third class.
- The
third class brings the story to a close, creates art work to
illustrate it, gives the story a title, and returns it to the
coordinator.
