PLANNER

The Lunch Box Project Planner Here are the 5 stages of the project. The idea is that the activities in each stage are completed by a certain date, and then you use them the following week in class. So, for example, if we all finish the project introduction slideshow by the 4th, then we can all show it to our students the next week - giving us time to collect their responses. Each stage is approximately 2 weeks long, except Stage 3 which is 3 weeks.

Linguistic items, assessment and curriculum standards are three columns that could also be added to this document. These things are up to the individual teacher (although we could have some common assessment stuff happening if you wanted to) so I have left them off for now in order to have more room to write more details about the other columns.

 Key questions are there to guide classroom discussions. Questions can be asked of any of the classes at any time too just by adding a question to the discussion tab of their wikipage. Encourage your students to ask as many questions as they like. They can even try out a new language.

Who will we be working with? Where are they? What do they sound like? Why should we work with classes in other countries? || ====What does their language sound like? ====
