Collaboration
Making national head-wears: Part 1 Planning: Each international team writes instructions how to make their headwear: what material they should use in order to create their headwear, how to create it, if there is a need for different and special types of fabric and how it can be transformed to more accessible items. Option: if possible, students can design a prototype online, this can be done with the free software mentioned below. Part 2: creating: In national teams, the instructions created by the international groups will be distributed and each national team will create a headwear/object according to the received instructions. Auction: Part 1: Preparation: The students write an auction description for the headwear made by them, presenting their headwear, making advertisements for auction and showing how to promote their headwear in auction. Students organize an online event where they announce the auction, present their head-wear in the event, and then together, think how they can promote it as if they are in a real auction. All ideas will be collected and put in one guiding document that will be shared among partners Part 2: auction Each partner country will organise an auction of the headwear based on the guidelines discussed in the online event. Parents, pupils and community will be invited. Pupils can further develop the topic and explain how the headwear can be used in daily modern life and come up with different creative ideas for multiple uses. Making Transnational headwear: The main idea behind this activity is to bring students together who have similar interests and skills. The students create a headwear that takes into consideration all countries` headwear and comes up with something new. So the colours of one country and the shape of another, the fabric of the third etc. This can be done collaboratively in small international teams – each team creates several options for each criterion and all students decide together how the final collaborative headwear will look. They can use design and online prototype tools in order to create an example of the object. This is an opportunity to get creative and innovative ideas on what kind of headwear they want. Option: Each class creates the transnational headwear and adds it to the auction Collaborative book: The students make an online book of the project. Including presentation of all the work they have done, from research to the creation of headwear and an online gallery with all their creative work Conclusion Quiz: Students work in transnational teams. Each team explores the presentations about the national headwear prepared in the beginning of the project and make a list of questions for quiz. Then they create an online quiz that can be played in a final online video conference. The quiz can be organized as a “Kahoot game or “Do you know..? questions, “which headwear is made of…” the online game can be also played at the end of the auction or in a whole school setting, inviting parents and teachers.
