- 1. The Incredible Life of Marcus Poncious Europeaus Comenius-eTwinning Project
- 2. PARTNERS SPAIN ITALY SICILY TURKEY GREECE POLAND
- 3. We have aimed to create the biography of a fictional character who travels around Europe in Roman times using the language of contemporary mass media.
- 4. The pillars which our project was based on: To explore new methodological approaches to the study of English and Latin, in constant interaction with new technology. To approach to the world of contemporary mass media through its language and shapes. To become aware of the problems that concern Europe, such us immigration, solidarity, pollution and so on. To promote a sense of Europe as something that unites us.
- 5. To disseminate the project to school we have created a project corner.
- 6. Activity 1-Introductions The first thing we had decided was to do a series of activities that allow us to know each other. These activities were created in both English and Latin.
- 9. Activity 6 The creation of different episodes of Marcus has enabled us to establish a chronology and a common frame of reference with a evident goal: the improvement of Latin and English for our students.
- 11. Poll first year Students evaluated the development of our project in a survey. From the results we teachers readjusted our projects to improve and meet students expectations.
- 13. Activity 8 Learning a bit of European words Students have tried to teach to other mates some words of their own language, so they had to show some words of their own language to the rest of European mates pronounce some words into different languages of Europe
- 15. Activity 10 Weather forecast We think that weather forecast is one of the current products of Mass media. In order to teach students this type of language, we created different videos with the weather in our regions. Latin teachers have helped us to develop the reports.
- 17. Activity 14 Ancient facebook Students created the Facebook pages of classical characters related to our countries like Caesar, Poliphemus, Asterix, etc. To do it, they had to search the necessary documentation and choose interesting parts of his/her biography. Then, put in his biography friends, events, comments, etc
- 20. Activity 19 Solidarity and Equality The aim of this activity was to raise awareness of injustices related to solidarity and equality. Every student showed to others a problematic situation that he/she detects in his/her country using Scoop.it. We, teachers, have provided them a common Scoop.it account. Finally they posted it on Instagram with the hashtag #solidarityTILMPE
- 24. Activity 20 Marcus Quiz show We organised a very hard quiz show for students, in which they had to solve difficult questions related to our cities, regions or countries. As for tools, basically we used Pinnacle and Youtube, whilst students used Internet deeply to find answers.
- 27. Activity 21 Time Capsule: Bye, Marcus! We wanted to know the activities that students liked during our project. For it, we created a online board on Pinterest.
- 30. IMPACT Both the students and teachers have developed the sense of European citizenship They have met and found out about each other's culture, historical sites and traditional background Teachers have developed their teaching skills with the help of the computer and the new technologies
- 31. The approach to the Roman civilization has been constant: students have looked for Latin references related to places where our school is.
- 32. Many activities in Latin can be successfully applied anywhere in Europe where this language is taught, and using as a complement for a natural learning, apart from serving to promote the relationship between European students. As Latin is not included in the curriculum ,it has been an unprecendant experinece for us to perform scenes in Latin in Turkey.
- 33. More importantly , we researched many new web 2.0 tools, looking for the suitability for each activity in every case integrating them with the outdoor activities. This allowed us to train students in new technologies while going into our subjects in depth.
