March-Friendship

March – Friendship

Березень - Дружба

1) This month started with the International Women’s Day. We prepared a special location for those who wanted to take a photo and turn it into a greeting card for their mothers, grannies, sisters or just friends

2) How to find a new friend? - It's not difficult if you have the same interests! We went on our work with creating Linoit boards to tell about our hobbies and find people with the same interests (The links are on March page of the project)

3) We started forum discussion and got so many replies! Our pupils have the same hobbies. ideas, likes ... What coincided the most – nobody likes doing homework J
There are 4 pages of replies with 80 messages on them

4) We decided to play a game (or do quiz) which we call "Do you know your friend well?" to check how well friends know each other in some funny way. We explained the rules to our partners in a case they want to play too:

Two pupils sit down back to back not to see each other (or you may put some obstacle between them)

The quizmaster asks them questions about each other and participants have to write their answers down on a card. Then we'll compare the answers. If they are the same - these friends are true!

For playing the game we needed questions to ask so, we asked our partners to help us make it. This web 2.0 tool – Meetingwords.com – is very useful for doing such tasks

Possible questions

Thank everyone for interesting questions for a Friends' Game! We chose 12 of them to play with younger pupils after the lessons and had great fun! 

The best result was 7 out of 12 so; we may see that even friends don't know each other well. They should communicate more often and pay more attention to each other!

5. We were going to write a collaborative story about friendship with pupils from other schools but for doing that we had to, first of all, chose the main character. So, we organized a survey for two different age groups.

For secondary school pupils

For high school pupils

 Of course, we voted by ourselves for the main character of our book

For the high school all together we chose HUMAN as the main hero. 

6. Other schools asked us to start the book. We had to think of the introduction, setting the place and time and describing the main characters of the story

As we all together had chosen "A human" for a collaborative story writing but the next variant was "an unreal animal, like a dragon" so, we decided to use both of them.

 A book about Friendship "Everybody needs a friend"

This is our team that worked on the book. There are only 5 of pupils there because others have another task - they will present our book to pupils of our Lyceum
