Work Process Our project lasted three months. In February the students were instructed on how to communicate with foreign partners by means of Twinspace. They introduced themselves to each other and exchanged information on their countries, schools, interests and hobbies. In March they explored vocabulary connected with the festive celebration during their English classes. They also prepared fun activity sheets on Easter traditions, they made presentations regarding Easter in their countries and all over the world. In April the pupils collected videos and pictures taken by them during the Easter holiday and for their final cooperative product they created a digital book with Easter recipes from all over the world. The final step included exchanging their presentations and learning about different festive traditions in other countries.
