The time we had was too short. 94 00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:58,300 Once I said, I also think that some deadlines are tight and I would like to have more. 95 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:02,920 Let's see here. More time to see some of the contents. 96 00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,759 As I said, they're learning a lot and it's interesting to see how they're evolving. 97 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:14,779 But I believe sometimes it's hard for the students to focus on Global Scholars when the deadlines coincide with the exams and evaluations. 98 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:23,060 Yeah, that's been hard, especially during this time of the year for everything, for field trips, for programs, for everything. 99 00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:27,540 In my school, it is going great and enriching. 100 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:29,459 Oh, really glad to hear that. 101 00:08:29,779 --> 00:08:36,120 Something we could improve, like have more time to organize with the colleagues, give ideas on how to improve students' typing. 102 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,759 you have the possibility to have a commission in the school for participating global scholars 103 00:08:40,759 --> 00:08:45,019 well those are really good ideas thank you Clara for that those are really good 104 00:08:45,019 --> 00:08:51,759 well I'm taking notes of all of this as I said because we are prepping already for next year 105 00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:56,740 we're prepping the habla virtual so we don't have two platforms so we are working on alongside 106 00:08:56,740 --> 00:09:03,159 our colleagues in EducaMadrid we're prepping the curriculum as well so thank you so much for all 107 00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:08,519 this information because that's really helpful.

And it was really, really fun to to see and to watch all of the projects. 137 00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:25,879 We really enjoy it. So so I'm sure this will be great as well. 138 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:31,139 All right. So, Elena, I want more time. So you can. It's OK. 139 00:12:31,139 --> 00:12:37,799 Thank you. Thank you very much, Paula, for all these pieces of information. 140 00:12:38,779 --> 00:12:45,419 Well, it was also part, but it's great as you are organizing this to have the final information. 141 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:58,000 And regarding what I saw in the chat, I read that somebody said, I think it was Clara, about organizing a commission in the school. 142 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,799 so the colleagues can participate and share ideas. 143 00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:06,019 And I think it's great. 144 00:13:06,259 --> 00:13:09,139 We did it the first year that we started in Global Scholars. 145 00:13:09,860 --> 00:13:17,159 And it was a way of having one hour per week to be able to organize the activities 146 00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:23,679 and have some time to plan between the teachers that were participating in it. 147 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,500 So if you can do it, my recommendation is that you do it 148 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:35,179 because it's always great to have some time that you have in school to prepare beforehand 149 00:13:35,179 --> 00:13:39,399 and to share ideas about the projects and the way of doing it. 150 00:13:40,139 --> 00:13:41,100 I heard something. 151 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,820 I don't know if somebody is still waiting to log in, I think. 152 00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:47,019 No, I don't see anybody. 153 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:54,659 Well, as Paula said at the beginning, but some of you have entered later, we are recording the session. 154 00:13:54,659 --> 00:14:04,580 So if somebody misses it, they can see it later because we suppose, well, many of you have got questions regarding the community action project. 155 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:10,879 Well, it's great to see that I am also a part that it is hard work. 156 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:19,000 And I know because I've been, well, and I still am because I am also doing the project as well, the same as you. 157 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:27,159 and but and then you see how the students improve in their writing skills or in the 158 00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:34,179 digital competence and at the end is worthwhile although i i understand your problem with the 159 00:14:34,179 --> 00:14:40,000 deadlines because it's what i feel always also with the projects in in global scholars well 160 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:47,899 so i'm going to share with you a presentation about for this

i am uh can you see the presentation yes we can yes okay 179 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,259 So, well, I will start from the beginning. 180 00:15:49,419 --> 00:16:00,940 So, as you probably have seen in the aula virtual, this last unit of Global Scholars Madrid will take place between the 5th of May and the 6th of June, 181 00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:08,519 although there is another extra week at the end to give feedback to the projects from the other schools. 182 00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:15,080 And I call it Community Action Project because it's the main point of this unit. 183 00:16:16,259 --> 00:16:27,200 For the agenda, I would like to do some introductions first, although, well, we did a little bit before because Paula asked you for your feedback. 184 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,360 That is great. 185 00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:37,580 We want to know, well, how you feel about what you are doing and also that you can ask questions if you have any questions. 186 00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:52,720 Then we will have a look at the contents of each unit, both the exchanges that you need to do in Google Classroom and also the different steps and stages to do the project and the digital project. 187 00:16:52,720 --> 00:17:15,079 And, well, I will share with you some ideas, statements, ICANN statements and starters that you can use to assess your students' work and also use them for their final reflections on what they have learned during this year. 188 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,420 that is 189 00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:19,819 this part that you see collaborating 190 00:17:19,819 --> 00:17:21,880 45GE, that's the 191 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,799 number and name of the 192 00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:25,980 indicator, but as you will see 193 00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:27,920 during the whole session 194 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,240 this unit is all about 195 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,819 collaborating with each other 196 00:17:31,819 --> 00:17:34,059 within the class and 197 00:17:34,059 --> 00:17:35,940 also with the other peers 198 00:17:35,940 --> 00:17:37,119 from Global Scholars Madrid 199 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,559 and then I will 200 00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,980 explain to you about the 201 00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:43,900 Community Action Project presentation 202 00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:47,400 and the other presentation that Paula mentioned before, 203 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:55,359 because we have created a script and a template to help your students practice for that presentation. 204 00:17:56,059 --> 00:17:59,980 And finally, well, there are some announcements like the dates that it starts 205 00:17:59,980 --> 00:18:05,660 and any questions that you can have, you can write them down in the chat at any time. 206 00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:15,319 and I would like to start as I said if in the chat you can write an environmental issue that 207 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:21,460 you have observed in your community it can be related to the green space or other types of 208 00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:27,200 environmental issues that your students have discovered while they were working on the 209 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:34,319 activities of unit two I tell you this because it will be like the starting point and the brainstorm 210 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:40,460 that you will do with your students to see what your community action project can be about. 211 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,240 So it would be great if you could share it in the chat. 212 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:51,339 And also, I would like that, well, you did it before with Paula, 213 00:18:52,019 --> 00:18:56,400 so it's okay for the people that joined later. 214 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,460 If you want to add a part of the program that you enjoyed 215 00:19:00,460 --> 00:19:06,519 or if there are any drawbacks that you have found with us, that would be wonderful. 216 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:17,960 So here you have the different types of biodiversity issues that probably you have found. 217 00:19:18,059 --> 00:19:21,180 Maybe it's an ecosystem related to the ecosystem conservation. 218 00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:27,960 Maybe it's related to pollution, maybe to access to green spaces or climate change, 219 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,019 or there can be other biodiversity issues. 220 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:36,589 So where do I have you? 221 00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:38,509 Here. 222 00:19:42,089 --> 00:19:46,230 I will check the chat. 223 00:19:52,349 --> 00:19:52,930 Oh, I see. 224 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:57,650 Some of you have got the school trip from the 9th to the 13th of June. 225 00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:11,799 It will be great if any of you would mind sharing with us 226 00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:15,420 any of the issues you found during the activities, 227 00:20:15,420 --> 00:20:18,180 maybe when you analyze nature in the news. 228 00:20:18,859 --> 00:20:26,039 And I would like to know also how was everything going with the activities from the previous unit. 229 00:20:54,980 --> 00:21:00,319 I feel like maybe it's taking time or I don't receive any answers yet. 230 00:21:05,460 --> 00:21:07,240 I think they're coming in right now. 231 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,279 Ah, okay, okay. 232 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,539 It's like all of them at the same time later. 233 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,200 Okay, so they like going outside to check the environment. 234 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:24,000 And you have realized in ES Santa Marca that the lack of green spaces in your neighborhood, okay, 235 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:30,380 the park we have next to our school is really small and going to another bigger one would take a long time. 236 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:42,380 Okay, so maybe you can orient your community action projects towards creating or asking the council for more green spaces 237 00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:50,960 or finding a space in your playground in the school, in the high school to grow a vegetable patch. 238 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,160 I'm just giving ideas that maybe once you found the issue, 239 00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:03,519 then, well, you have to see with your students and brainstorm your students about the possible actions that you can take. 240 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:12,299 okay Ingrid says my students really enjoy the field trips to prepare the introductory video 241 00:22:12,299 --> 00:22:19,559 and to a nearby park yeah whenever you go out for the classroom they like it very much 242 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:25,960 and well I think that when they have a purpose like looking for the different species and taking 243 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,099 notes of what they see it makes it more meaningful and they enjoy it very much 244 00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,019 We saw some rubbish on the floor. 245 00:22:34,539 --> 00:22:38,779 I think that my students were more concerned with the conservation of the fauna in the area. 246 00:22:38,779 --> 00:22:52,819 Well, that's great, too, because they can also work on guides of the local fauna to tell the other people ways of taking care of them. 247 00:22:52,819 --> 00:23:01,359 For example, this is also lack of green areas, not accessible to everyone, 248 00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:04,579 upper population of some species, such as pigeons. 249 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,440 They are enjoying everything. 250 00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:09,880 They are very excited when they receive an answer. 251 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:11,819 That's great. 252 00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:18,440 It's true that what really motivates them is the exchanges in the Google Classroom, 253 00:23:18,619 --> 00:23:20,059 or in my case, in the Classroom. 254 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:25,559 They like very much when they have answers and they can learn from other peers. 255 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,559 We live in Arroyo Molinos, which has a lot of green spaces. 256 00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:36,720 So the main concern of our students so far is the amount of dog feces that are everywhere around the village pavements. 257 00:23:37,420 --> 00:23:38,640 Well, well, that's it. 258 00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:47,680 You can also try to write, well, ask students to write a letter to the mayor or do a campaign. 259 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,619 And so to make people aware of this. 260 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,299 But we would like to work on other issues since we already asked the town mayor about ours. 261 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,880 Sorry, I didn't read that part. 262 00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:05,140 Maybe better recycling and reduction of waste in the school or prevention of floodings. 263 00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:06,599 Well, that's great. 264 00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:15,250 I always advise you to start from the school with your own school because you don't need as many permissions. 265 00:24:15,250 --> 00:24:21,549 permissions and you can start from the very beginning from the first week working on it 266 00:24:21,549 --> 00:24:29,089 anything that means like asking the town council or doing something outside the school 267 00:24:29,089 --> 00:24:35,349 requires more time because you have to ask for those permissions and at the end you have only 268 00:24:35,349 --> 00:24:44,569 one month to do it from their partners I mean okay this must be related to something I read before 269 00:24:44,569 --> 00:24:47,990 In Aranjuez, deforestation is what comes to mind. 270 00:24:48,369 --> 00:24:50,849 Oh, okay, I didn't know. 271 00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:57,430 Well, there are some associations also that work, I don't know if in your area, 272 00:24:57,710 --> 00:25:04,809 but maybe you can look for information about that to see how you can deal with that topic 273 00:25:04,809 --> 00:25:07,190 if you want for your community action project. 274 00:25:07,869 --> 00:25:11,789 What the students enjoy the most about our scholars is the interaction with our students. 275 00:25:12,009 --> 00:25:14,450 They enjoy the trip to the green space. 276 00:25:14,569 --> 00:25:24,410 And the recording of their interviews, whether our students enjoyed the most or far worse, recording the video and visiting some areas and research about their flora and fauna. 277 00:25:24,609 --> 00:25:25,130 That's great. 278 00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:31,289 Our school is in the center of Madrid, Ramiro de Maestu, and for this reason, we do not have many green spaces around our school. 279 00:25:31,390 --> 00:25:36,150 So probably pollution is one of the main issues we are willing to solve with the students. 280 00:25:36,150 --> 00:25:41,910 they loved when we went out to the school to record the video for the project and they have 281 00:25:41,910 --> 00:25:45,230 really improved with their digital skills but they're still having problems when completing 282 00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:53,730 the emails because we don't really have a lot of time yeah i know a problem with time is it's 283 00:25:53,730 --> 00:25:58,630 always the same when you work with projects because you will need there's always something 284 00:25:58,630 --> 00:26:05,769 that you need to adjust or that doesn't work especially when you are dealing with technology 285 00:26:05,769 --> 00:26:08,809 and it takes always longer than you expect it. 286 00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:10,710 So I understand you. 287 00:26:12,269 --> 00:26:15,750 They enjoyed learning about La Gavia Park and other parks in the area 288 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:18,250 and they are starting to think on how to improve it. 289 00:26:19,150 --> 00:26:24,210 I said floodings because it happened recently with the river that passes by our village. 290 00:26:24,210 --> 00:26:28,289 Oh, I see maybe with the heavy rains that we had before Easter. 291 00:26:28,910 --> 00:26:33,349 Okay, so well, you have lots of ideas to start with. 292 00:26:33,349 --> 00:26:50,190 I don't know, maybe your students buried in mind now after the holidays, but with my own students, I started today working also in our community action project, and they forgot everything we did before Easter. 293 00:26:50,190 --> 00:27:03,109 So I had to go back and show them then again what they did, the emails, the notes they took in their notebooks to refresh everything again. 294 00:27:03,710 --> 00:27:12,309 So maybe you need to have all those notes near you when you start doing the brainstorm. 295 00:27:12,309 --> 00:27:25,109 But otherwise, it's difficult for them, or at least for my students, to give ideas on how to start the topic or what action to choose. 296 00:27:25,849 --> 00:27:40,509 Well, this is, in my opinion, the most important part of this program, because now that they research about an issue in their communities, when they are going to take action on it. 297 00:27:41,289 --> 00:27:45,869 But the timing can be also a difficulty. 298 00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:51,269 So I'm going to start by giving you some key concepts about the Community Action Project. 299 00:27:52,049 --> 00:27:55,309 Can you see the different screen? 300 00:27:55,450 --> 00:27:58,230 I mean, the different page in the presentation? 301 00:27:59,230 --> 00:28:05,569 Because I went out of the presentation mode and I'm not sure you can see exactly what I see. 302 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:08,230 Can you? 303 00:28:08,910 --> 00:28:09,609 Okay, great. 304 00:28:10,069 --> 00:28:15,009 I still have to master themes and the different ways of seeing it. 305 00:28:15,529 --> 00:28:20,549 Okay, so the community action project is done as a whole class. 306 00:28:21,349 --> 00:28:27,509 And if you are working with two classes, I can even say that you can do it with the two classes, okay, 307 00:28:27,509 --> 00:28:31,990 because usually it's an ambitious project. 308 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:42,529 and if you feel that you are going to work better if you do it and you ask one class to do a part 309 00:28:42,529 --> 00:28:50,630 of the presentation or a part of a video or a part of a infographic and the other class can do 310 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:59,190 another one and it is your first year my advice is that you make the things simple for you so 311 00:28:59,190 --> 00:29:06,910 So I usually do two projects, one with class A and one with class B, but then it's double work, I mean. 312 00:29:07,369 --> 00:29:19,329 So you can consider maybe splitting the task and doing one community action project for, well, I mean, or sharing some parts of it with your classes. 313 00:29:19,549 --> 00:29:26,190 You have to remember that it has to be about your local community or school or neighborhood. 314 00:29:26,190 --> 00:29:31,170 As I said, well, there are always things that we can improve in our schools. 315 00:29:31,630 --> 00:29:49,490 So it's a great way to start if you have any living trips, like you said, or activities in your agenda that will take time from this month or a bit more than a month that you have to do it. 316 00:29:50,410 --> 00:29:54,430 There are different options, different types of projects that you can do. 317 00:29:54,430 --> 00:30:04,950 So plan according to your time frame. Be realistic. Think of the sessions that you will have each week and plan according to that. 318 00:30:05,609 --> 00:30:12,430 And at the end, you have to create a digital presentation to share with your peers in a Google Classroom. 319 00:30:13,589 --> 00:30:22,549 But that presentation can also be useful for you for the oral presentation that Paula mentioned in June. 320 00:30:22,549 --> 00:30:26,630 depending on the type of digital project that you choose 321 00:30:26,630 --> 00:30:29,809 you will be able to use it or not 322 00:30:29,809 --> 00:30:31,609 maybe you do a video 323 00:30:31,609 --> 00:30:34,930 you need to take a screenshot of it later 324 00:30:34,930 --> 00:30:36,430 for the other presentation 325 00:30:36,430 --> 00:30:40,190 but my advice is always that you try to 326 00:30:40,190 --> 00:30:43,049 use what you have for everything 327 00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:46,930 or plan for all the different tasks 328 00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:48,009 that you need to do 329 00:30:48,009 --> 00:30:49,490 and you don't double 330 00:30:49,490 --> 00:30:52,829 and you don't have to do two different presentations, 331 00:30:53,089 --> 00:30:57,329 one for the oral presentation and one for the Google Classroom, okay? 332 00:30:59,450 --> 00:31:01,250 More things to take into account. 333 00:31:01,430 --> 00:31:03,509 Well, I included, sorry, I go back. 334 00:31:03,630 --> 00:31:08,910 I included the timeframe that you have it in Aula Virtual. 335 00:31:09,769 --> 00:31:14,529 But as we are going to go week by week looking at the different activities, 336 00:31:14,529 --> 00:31:25,250 I will move around, move on, and, well, the first thing, the big picture of this is the community action project. 337 00:31:25,849 --> 00:31:31,750 So it would be great if you have this logo in your mind, the CAP strategy. 338 00:31:32,369 --> 00:31:38,750 Remember that it should be community-oriented, something achievable, and with a purpose. 339 00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:51,150 And I added one letter more that doesn't fit in the CAP strategy, but as you have to talk about the impact that it made, something that you can measure as well. 340 00:31:52,069 --> 00:31:56,130 I put some examples in the slide. 341 00:31:56,829 --> 00:32:04,710 This one on the left is an infographic that I did with my students, and it's one way that you can show your findings. 342 00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:19,750 The good point about the infographic is that you can include charts, you can include pictures and text, and it's a way of writing about what you will do during the community action project. 343 00:32:21,329 --> 00:32:30,589 I also included a link to a theater play, but as we are running out of time, I'm not going to play it, okay? 344 00:32:30,589 --> 00:32:45,369 But it's just another option. To tell you the truth, I did this last year, but because I've been working in global scholars for many years and I started thinking of the community action project from the beginning of the school year. 345 00:32:45,849 --> 00:32:54,150 Otherwise, it's not well, I don't think it's possible to to put on a play and prepare the script and everything for one month. 346 00:32:54,150 --> 00:33:11,950 But maybe you can do like little drama. If your students like artistic presentations, maybe they can do like short plays or role plays that they can act out before other classes. 347 00:33:11,950 --> 00:33:18,869 And here you have a link to another project from some students in Girona from Global Scholars. 348 00:33:20,390 --> 00:33:27,970 That is the one that they used for the training for this session. 349 00:33:28,690 --> 00:33:31,250 That is really useful. 350 00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:36,829 And as you will have the link, because I will give you also the presentation, you can see. 351 00:33:37,369 --> 00:33:40,450 In their case, they did a web page with Wix. 352 00:33:40,450 --> 00:33:48,150 the type of community action project will depend on the type of action that you will choose 353 00:33:48,150 --> 00:33:54,390 so the first thing that you need to think is of your the issue okay that you found in your 354 00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:59,730 community and depending on the type of issue then you can decide the type of action that you would 355 00:33:59,730 --> 00:34:07,250 like to do create a program provide a service raise awareness meet a school or city leader 356 00:34:07,250 --> 00:34:18,309 and then depending on this we specify it and we do something that will be purposeful and achievable 357 00:34:18,309 --> 00:34:26,150 and oriented to our community you know like for example you can do a cleanup event if the problem 358 00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:33,110 is littering a artistic presentation for younger students if what you want is to raise awareness 359 00:34:33,110 --> 00:34:45,469 Maybe you can create a video for the school's web page, do posters, write articles if you have a school magazine, or if you have a radio, you can create podcasts. 360 00:34:46,289 --> 00:34:58,650 All these, there are ways that you can measure how many people entered into the school web page or how many people saw the artistic presentation that your students did. 361 00:34:58,650 --> 00:35:03,369 And they are ways of measuring the impact that you've made in your local community. 362 00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:10,010 This year, my students and I are thinking of organizing a second-hand market, for example, 363 00:35:10,230 --> 00:35:17,369 but because instead of working on green spaces, we are working on overconsumption and consumption issues. 364 00:35:17,369 --> 00:35:27,489 So I'm giving you different ideas that you can have for these projects. 365 00:35:28,650 --> 00:35:32,630 Oh, are they already in Aula Virtual? That's great. Thank you, Paula. 366 00:35:35,150 --> 00:35:42,849 So when you choose what type of issue you are going to address and the action that you will take, 367 00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:48,630 you have to think also of the digital project that you will use for the presentation. 368 00:35:49,829 --> 00:35:56,590 You will see that in the timing you have prepared the presentation at the end of the month, 369 00:35:56,590 --> 00:35:59,329 like starting in week three, week four. 370 00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:03,769 But my advice is that you start with a presentation also from the beginning 371 00:36:03,769 --> 00:36:06,869 and you organize the students doing different tasks 372 00:36:06,869 --> 00:36:09,610 because otherwise you will need more time 373 00:36:09,610 --> 00:36:12,889 and you will be, again, coping with the deadlines 374 00:36:12,889 --> 00:36:20,329 and you will work with different project jobs. 375 00:36:21,269 --> 00:36:25,829 I will include a project job for the presentation from the beginning 376 00:36:25,829 --> 00:36:30,590 so you can do everything more or less at the same time. 377 00:36:32,010 --> 00:36:36,030 So different types of digital projects can be a video. 378 00:36:36,789 --> 00:36:40,389 You think that your project will be best presented as a story 379 00:36:40,389 --> 00:36:42,469 and you want to include people speaking. 380 00:36:42,469 --> 00:36:47,210 And here I put some applications that you can use for the video. 381 00:36:47,969 --> 00:36:53,570 If you want to share more information for a large audience, 382 00:36:54,190 --> 00:36:59,469 Maybe you can do a website and you can use Google Sites, Wix. 383 00:37:00,550 --> 00:37:07,489 If you are running out of time, you can do a presentation and you can share information with an audience. 384 00:37:07,969 --> 00:37:15,110 And you have also more opportunities like your students probably know, like Canva, PowerPoint, Google Slides. 385 00:37:15,769 --> 00:37:18,909 And I also gave you here some applications. 386 00:37:18,909 --> 00:37:31,989 If you choose to do a photojournal or an infographic, but remember that it will be a combination of text and images, but you will not be able to include, for example, video. 387 00:37:33,630 --> 00:37:43,230 The one that I show you, I did it with PictoChart, and my students like it very much because I wanted to learn another application apart from Canva. 388 00:37:43,230 --> 00:37:50,469 But if your students don't have much time or you see that you are having difficulties with the digital projects 389 00:37:50,469 --> 00:37:58,190 because it takes them a long time, it's better to stick to the applications that they already know 390 00:37:58,190 --> 00:38:04,010 and you don't have to start explaining new functions or the menu or how it works. 391 00:38:05,969 --> 00:38:10,269 For the community action project, the methodology is a bit different. 392 00:38:10,269 --> 00:38:28,389 I don't know if you work usually with cooperative groups, but the best way to organize the classes for this unit is by assigning project jobs. 393 00:38:28,389 --> 00:38:46,590 Like some students can be the photographers and videographers, others can do the script, others can be the, well, there will be a group of class ambassadors that will be the ones in charge of writing the post or replies in the Google Classroom Exchange place. 394 00:38:46,590 --> 00:38:51,590 and the aim of this unit that it is collaborating 395 00:38:53,050 --> 00:38:55,429 is to do class meetings to agree 396 00:38:55,429 --> 00:38:58,050 on the different parts of the project 397 00:38:58,050 --> 00:39:01,670 and once they have, you have had agreed 398 00:39:01,670 --> 00:39:05,010 on the different tasks and the jobs 399 00:39:05,010 --> 00:39:06,889 that each student is going to do, 400 00:39:07,949 --> 00:39:12,269 well, use those sessions to work and take action 401 00:39:12,269 --> 00:39:15,489 as they say on the project itself. 402 00:39:16,590 --> 00:39:25,489 And I don't know you have any questions so far or I'm going too fast, but I don't want to take too long. 403 00:39:26,010 --> 00:39:31,170 And there are many weeks to explain. Well, so I will move on. 404 00:39:31,309 --> 00:39:37,989 I will come back from time to time to see that any questions in the chat for the first week. 405 00:39:37,989 --> 00:39:40,630 That will be the first week in May. 406 00:39:40,969 --> 00:39:47,130 There aren't any exchanges in the Google Classroom discussion boards. 407 00:39:47,650 --> 00:39:56,949 It's for you to brainstorm your students and decide what issue you are going to address and the type of action you will take. 408 00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:06,030 I put this piece of the picture here, brainstorm, because this is like the main point for me. 409 00:40:06,030 --> 00:40:08,329 once you choose this 410 00:40:08,329 --> 00:40:10,969 you know what to do 411 00:40:10,969 --> 00:40:12,889 for the community action 412 00:40:12,889 --> 00:40:14,469 project and you have like 413 00:40:14,469 --> 00:40:15,670 halfway, okay 414 00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:18,929 because what I noticed 415 00:40:18,929 --> 00:40:20,650 in the years I've been working with global 416 00:40:20,650 --> 00:40:22,849 scholars, the most difficult part 417 00:40:22,849 --> 00:40:24,269 is choosing 418 00:40:24,269 --> 00:40:26,610 what issue you can 419 00:40:26,610 --> 00:40:28,630 address and thinking what can 420 00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:30,650 be achievable in 421 00:40:30,650 --> 00:40:32,670 the time we have, but once 422 00:40:32,670 --> 00:40:34,110 you choose it 423 00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:45,510 assigning a task to the students and working well we are used to that and you have well I will 424 00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:52,230 if I were you I will also from the very beginning tell students that you are they are going to work 425 00:40:52,230 --> 00:41:00,309 as a group and to make group decisions they need to vote to compromise and they need to collaborate 426 00:41:00,309 --> 00:41:08,230 with each other and, well, revise all the yellow boxes that you have within the student's workbook 427 00:41:08,230 --> 00:41:14,550 because they are all the time tips on how to improve that collaboration between students 428 00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:20,409 and with the peers in the classroom. So, the activities that you have, the essential in-class 429 00:41:20,409 --> 00:41:27,010 activities are the introduction, you have the vocabulary, as I said before, you can do it or 430 00:41:27,010 --> 00:41:31,630 You can explain the words as you read the other parts of the introduction. 431 00:41:32,469 --> 00:41:40,090 And then for another session, I put like 50 minutes because I added the Get Inspired part. 432 00:41:40,329 --> 00:41:41,550 What is Get Inspired? 433 00:41:41,789 --> 00:41:47,750 In the same page, in page 102, 103, where you have the brainstorm, 434 00:41:48,570 --> 00:41:56,869 you have also a space to write down any information that you get from the project from previous years. 435 00:41:57,010 --> 00:42:15,949 And I know that you don't have much time, but for me, it works for me and my students to see to watch examples of other projects before, because for them, maybe you can have a clear picture in your mind. 436 00:42:15,949 --> 00:42:28,590 But it's difficult to express or to explain to them what we expect at the end of the unit if they have not seen any before. 437 00:42:28,590 --> 00:42:56,010 So I think it's worthwhile to have a look at one of the projects and with the students, ask them for the feedback or if they got any ideas that they liked, if they could see what the goal was, because they will be more tuned into looking at their own issues in their community and start thinking what they can do. 438 00:42:56,010 --> 00:43:00,630 So at least with the students that I work with, primary students, it works. 439 00:43:00,630 --> 00:43:10,769 I don't know, maybe with older students it's not so necessary, but I think it's good to spend that time looking at it 440 00:43:10,769 --> 00:43:20,789 because then it will be easier for you in the next week to plan and to decide the type of action that you will take. 441 00:43:20,789 --> 00:43:32,429 And in the white box, I gave you, well, the activities in Unit 2 where you could have the issues, okay? 442 00:43:32,429 --> 00:43:50,150 So maybe you need to go back to the activity called Analyzing the News or the Field Research or the one called Human Actions and Biodiversity because after doing those activities, probably your students found the issues that you were saying. 443 00:43:50,150 --> 00:43:56,650 If you have a clear idea of what the issue that you want to address, that is great. 444 00:43:57,369 --> 00:44:04,949 And then, well, my advice is that you start also thinking about the plan, okay? 445 00:44:06,489 --> 00:44:11,090 That, well, according to the schedule, will be for the second week. 446 00:44:11,989 --> 00:44:17,150 So the second week will take place from May the 12th until May the 16th. 447 00:44:17,150 --> 00:44:20,170 in this week there is 448 00:44:20,170 --> 00:44:23,050 an exchange in Google Classroom 449 00:44:23,050 --> 00:44:25,309 the Global Discussion Project Collaboration 450 00:44:25,309 --> 00:44:29,429 well you know how long it takes 451 00:44:29,429 --> 00:44:32,030 for your students because now you have experience 452 00:44:32,030 --> 00:44:35,550 in this and remember that the class ambassadors 453 00:44:35,550 --> 00:44:38,150 or class ambassador singular 454 00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:40,409 or a group of class ambassadors 455 00:44:40,409 --> 00:44:44,630 are the ones in charge of writing the post in the discussion board 456 00:44:45,510 --> 00:44:55,309 This will give you more time for the rest of the students to work on the project jobs and start also working on the digital presentation. 457 00:44:56,090 --> 00:45:06,289 That's my advice. OK. Another tip that I give you is that if you work with collaborative groups methodology already, 458 00:45:06,289 --> 00:45:14,610 you can assign each job a different role but otherwise you can also ask students to choose 459 00:45:14,610 --> 00:45:20,309 the type of job they would like to do and then group them according like a group of experts 460 00:45:20,309 --> 00:45:31,650 in the everyday activities in the classroom this is the easiest way to do it because 461 00:45:31,650 --> 00:45:36,230 they can help each other. If you have different roles in each group 462 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:40,349 and each one is doing a different part, as you are going to do just 463 00:45:40,349 --> 00:45:43,909 one project for the whole class, for me it works better 464 00:45:43,909 --> 00:45:48,349 grouping them depending on the type of job that 465 00:45:48,349 --> 00:45:52,269 they perform. And my 466 00:45:52,269 --> 00:45:55,369 advice is also that you start working on the digital presentation 467 00:45:55,369 --> 00:46:00,530 and you create another job that is 468 00:46:00,530 --> 00:46:05,449 the ones in charge of the digital presentation, and they can take pictures of the process, 469 00:46:06,070 --> 00:46:10,630 write little summaries, and keep track of everything that you start doing. 470 00:46:10,909 --> 00:46:19,289 So you don't have to make that work later because the community action project can take longer than just one week. 471 00:46:20,469 --> 00:46:25,130 Another important thing is to think of the way that you will measure impact. 472 00:46:25,130 --> 00:46:33,929 in the student workbook you have some examples that is good to read with the students like they 473 00:46:33,929 --> 00:46:41,250 can count the people that attend an event or the people that visited a website they are young they 474 00:46:41,250 --> 00:46:47,690 are not so used about measuring things so it's important to bear this in mind also from the 475 00:46:47,690 --> 00:46:56,809 beginning because it will also guide you into the type of digital presentation that you need. 476 00:46:59,429 --> 00:47:09,989 Okay, in week three is when you start taking action. I advise you to use these 477 00:47:09,989 --> 00:47:19,250 a global graphic organizers with the task list and that the students write for each week what 478 00:47:19,250 --> 00:47:27,190 their task is and what they need to do so they have a very clear organization is important always 479 00:47:27,190 --> 00:47:33,210 but even more in this unit because you will have the students working on many different 480 00:47:33,210 --> 00:47:40,670 tasks so if they know very well where the materials for the tasks they need to do are 481 00:47:40,670 --> 00:47:47,230 and what we expect from them and what they need to do it's going to be easier and less demanding 482 00:47:47,230 --> 00:47:55,670 for you in the class although i advise you also i try to do the sessions that i when i do the 483 00:47:55,670 --> 00:48:04,590 project when i have the assistant with me because well for me is the busiest part of the 484 00:48:04,590 --> 00:48:13,269 school year regarding what global scholars is because having the students working in the 485 00:48:13,269 --> 00:48:19,309 different tasks they have many questions they encounter problems with technology that you need 486 00:48:19,309 --> 00:48:26,670 to solve. So if you can, try to plan for the sessions when you have the language assistant 487 00:48:26,670 --> 00:48:39,869 as well. And I will check again if there are any questions. No questions? No? Okay. So 488 00:48:39,869 --> 00:48:52,550 So I added the indicator 45GE that is recognizing one's capacity to advocate for 489 00:48:52,550 --> 00:48:59,769 and contribute to local, regional, or global improvement because it's the one that is related to the community action project. 490 00:49:00,429 --> 00:49:06,650 And for me, it's very useful to use the sentence starters to give them to the students. 491 00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:17,389 So sometimes when they are writing for the presentation, what they found, they have this vocabulary that is more difficult. 492 00:49:17,590 --> 00:49:21,369 It's not a kind of vocabulary that we usually use in the class. 493 00:49:21,889 --> 00:49:27,170 So either the GAN statements or the sentence starters can help you. 494 00:49:27,590 --> 00:49:34,650 And if you want, you can use them also as a way of assessing your students' global competency. 495 00:49:34,650 --> 00:49:42,809 competency, okay, if they really contributed to this, if they acknowledge that they can take 496 00:49:42,809 --> 00:49:53,469 actions that will help their community and so on. So now I would like to do a breakout room so you 497 00:49:53,469 --> 00:50:01,769 can talk to some of your colleagues and have some planning time because teachers, what we miss 498 00:50:01,769 --> 00:50:04,889 And we need most of the time is planning time. 499 00:50:05,530 --> 00:50:10,590 And there's a way that you can also ask each other for your ideas. 500 00:50:11,070 --> 00:50:20,909 And then if you have any questions, you can also ask me because, well, I would like to help you with any questions that you can have regarding the Community Action Project. 501 00:50:20,909 --> 00:50:34,050 So the questions I have for you are, with the information that I've been giving you during the session, how do you plan to group your students and assign project roles? 502 00:50:34,050 --> 00:50:44,369 Will you have groups of experts or will you have mixed ability or mixed up groups with different project jobs in each group? 503 00:50:45,329 --> 00:50:51,489 The second question will be, what type of action is the best to address the environmental issue in your community? 504 00:50:52,349 --> 00:50:56,429 And the third question, how can you measure the impact of your action? 505 00:50:58,670 --> 00:51:01,889 Well, we will not have much time. 506 00:51:01,889 --> 00:51:10,909 I will give you like two, three minutes for this and here. 507 00:51:10,909 --> 00:51:13,449 so I'm going to create 508 00:51:13,449 --> 00:51:15,289 different rooms for you 509 00:51:15,289 --> 00:51:16,989 and you need to click 510 00:51:16,989 --> 00:51:19,050 to enter into those rooms 511 00:51:19,050 --> 00:51:20,550 is that fine? 512 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:23,199 sure 513 00:51:23,199 --> 00:54:55,190 thank you 514 00:54:55,190 --> 00:55:03,190 sorry 515 00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:06,429 I just 516 00:55:06,429 --> 00:55:08,550 didn't want to make it very long 517 00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:10,030 but maybe I 518 00:55:10,030 --> 00:55:13,110 significant conversations 519 00:55:13,110 --> 00:55:15,409 I don't know, maybe now in the chat 520 00:55:15,409 --> 00:55:17,489 you can write the ideas 521 00:55:17,489 --> 00:55:19,409 that you got, we will have some time 522 00:55:19,409 --> 00:55:21,150 to debrief now and see 523 00:55:21,150 --> 00:55:23,510 ideas that you got 524 00:55:23,510 --> 00:55:25,289 from your colleagues 525 00:55:25,289 --> 00:55:27,570 I'm waiting 526 00:55:27,570 --> 00:55:28,989 I don't have everybody 527 00:55:28,989 --> 00:55:30,610 I think 528 00:55:30,610 --> 00:55:33,429 are we all in the main room 529 00:55:33,429 --> 00:55:35,409 again?

Thank you for sharing, Marimar. 559 00:57:15,469 --> 00:57:30,429 And also, students enjoy very much taking action, an event, OK, an action event that they can share with their classmates or with the other students in school. 560 00:57:30,429 --> 00:57:38,349 and as you said it takes shorter time but you can make a big impact during that session or 561 00:57:38,349 --> 00:57:57,480 sessions that you do that event that's right have you thought about the ways of measuring the impact 562 00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:06,079 well first you need to know the action obviously but remember that if you think maybe of doing a 563 00:58:06,079 --> 00:58:14,119 website you can use a counter or if you are doing an event you can count the number of people that 564 00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:25,300 are invited or that attended that event if you do a presentation or a role play or sing a song 565 00:58:25,300 --> 00:58:35,960 for other classes you know also the number of students that listen to you so remember also that 566 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:42,159 and remind your students because they will need to write about their impact during the presentation. 567 00:58:44,679 --> 00:58:51,480 I would love if somebody else could share one more idea or more. 568 00:58:55,449 --> 00:58:57,750 Do you mean the final project, right?

607 01:01:49,579 --> 01:01:53,019 For the eClassroom, well, sorry, I say eClassroom, 608 01:01:53,139 --> 01:01:55,119 but for Google Classroom in your case, 609 01:01:55,619 --> 01:01:59,059 you have an exchange about the project collaboration 610 01:01:59,059 --> 01:02:06,539 that is optional and my advice is that as you will have the class ambassadors that will write 611 01:02:06,539 --> 01:02:13,000 the posts it's a way of having also the class ambassadors busy so and as you say and I know 612 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:19,300 that students like very much when they get answers from their other peers I will do it 613 01:02:19,300 --> 01:02:23,619 while the other students work on the presentation and on the community action project 614 01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:34,780 There are some pages where they explain how to test out and revise the community, well, the presentation and your project. 615 01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:39,579 But this has to be like a cycle, okay? 616 01:02:39,579 --> 01:02:48,659 You have to start revising it from the beginning, and you see that it doesn't work, fix those things that are not working from the beginning. 617 01:02:48,659 --> 01:03:03,159 So you will see that most of the information that you have during these pages of the student workbook will help you, like, to assign the jobs at the beginning. 618 01:03:03,619 --> 01:03:14,260 But if you started working on the presentation before, maybe it's worthy that you read this information with the students that are going to work on the presentation before, okay? 619 01:03:14,260 --> 01:03:18,860 because there are checklists that you can give to your students 620 01:03:18,860 --> 01:03:25,840 to make sure that they are doing all the tasks that they need to complete the final project. 621 01:03:27,420 --> 01:03:35,760 During weeks five and six, what you are going to do is share your presentations 622 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:44,019 and reflect about their learnings and also reply to your peers about their community action projects. 623 01:03:44,260 --> 01:04:00,099 So for me, the most important handout of all this is the reflect and evaluate because it's the way that students see how much they learned during the different activities they did in the project. 624 01:04:00,099 --> 01:04:06,300 and it will also be very useful for you for your presentation 625 01:04:06,300 --> 01:04:12,900 because, well, you can use these ideas also for your presentation 626 01:04:12,900 --> 01:04:14,699 that you have to do in the end. 627 01:04:15,159 --> 01:04:19,460 But it's a way of, like, recapping all the work, 628 01:04:19,460 --> 01:04:21,599 the hard work that you did during the school year 629 01:04:21,599 --> 01:04:27,900 and make students aware of what they achieved, okay, 630 01:04:28,019 --> 01:04:29,440 with their community action project. 631 01:04:30,099 --> 01:04:40,920 And my suggestion is that you do that reflect and evaluate activity with the whole class and at least at the beginning. 632 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:45,739 So they understand what they need to talk about in each of the questions. 633 01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:56,539 And I usually use one session for this. And then you can still split the students in different groups to watch the other presentations. 634 01:04:56,539 --> 01:05:00,019 and so they can give feedback to their peers 635 01:05:00,019 --> 01:05:02,320 and you give the feedback to more schools 636 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,099 or you can do it as a whole group as you want. 637 01:05:07,139 --> 01:05:08,719 Once you do the reflection, 638 01:05:09,139 --> 01:05:11,519 you will share in the Google Classroom 639 01:05:11,519 --> 01:05:14,639 your community action project presentation 640 01:05:14,639 --> 01:05:17,840 and then in the last week, 641 01:05:18,539 --> 01:05:19,719 in week six, 642 01:05:19,719 --> 01:05:21,840 that will be the last, 643 01:05:22,420 --> 01:05:25,679 well, I think from the 7th to the 13th of June, 644 01:05:26,539 --> 01:05:36,840 It's a time where you view others' presentations and you reply to your peers and you give them feedback that is also very meaningful for them. 645 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:44,000 Try to do it because they like to know the opinion from other people about their community action projects and their presentations. 646 01:05:45,099 --> 01:05:55,079 In the next slide, you have some screenshots of the project that I told you about from the students in Girona, that they built some birdholes. 647 01:05:55,079 --> 01:05:58,179 And I like it very much because it's very complete. 648 01:05:58,699 --> 01:06:09,260 And the link is, as I said in the other slide, where I put, like, well, a photograph of the program. 649 01:06:09,420 --> 01:06:14,639 So when you click on it, it will take you to the WIC site. 650 01:06:15,519 --> 01:06:23,500 And even my students liked it because they liked it very much because they learned about the species that they have in Girona. 651 01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:29,880 and they saw how complete a community action project should be. 652 01:06:31,340 --> 01:06:37,360 And so, as it is late, I wanted to do, but it's similar to what we did before. 653 01:06:37,820 --> 01:06:44,380 So, instead of breaking you in different rooms, we can do it all together. 654 01:06:44,380 --> 01:06:47,860 And so, other people can benefit also from your questions. 655 01:06:48,820 --> 01:06:55,239 What are some project ideas that you have or what questions do you still have about the Community Action Project? 656 01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:03,780 If you want to share any type of advice with your colleagues, you are more than welcome to do it. 657 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,460 And you can do it out loud or you can do it in the chat. 658 01:07:10,079 --> 01:07:17,400 And in the next slide, you have the two handouts that I created to help you. 659 01:07:17,860 --> 01:07:26,380 with the oral presentation. You have an infographic and a script. It's up to you to use the one that 660 01:07:26,380 --> 01:07:33,000 you want or create your own script. But if you see that you are rushing, that you don't have 661 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:39,880 enough time, that the community action project took longer, you can just use this template 662 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:44,860 where students just need to complete the information in the blanks about their specific 663 01:07:44,860 --> 01:07:52,239 project and they can practice with it for their oral presentation or if you want that they have 664 01:07:52,239 --> 01:07:58,219 more freedom and they can use the structures that you they were learning in the class you can use 665 01:07:58,219 --> 01:08:05,820 the infographic where you have prompts and different questions and well you have the 666 01:08:05,820 --> 01:08:12,579 all the parts that you should cover both in the community action project and in the 667 01:08:12,579 --> 01:08:25,640 In the oral presentation, so an introduction, talk about the environmental problem, about the project, the different stages, the impact and benefits. 668 01:08:26,300 --> 01:08:32,739 And then it would be great if you could do also some reflections about your participation in Global Scholars Madrid. 669 01:08:33,579 --> 01:08:37,399 And finally, well, some conclusions about your project. 670 01:08:37,399 --> 01:08:42,909 And, well, we're finishing. 671 01:08:43,310 --> 01:08:49,850 Just to remind you that the materials are in the same place. 672 01:08:50,489 --> 01:08:59,630 In Unit 3, you will have the materials that you need for your students and the examples of the digital projects. 673 01:09:00,529 --> 01:09:08,050 And also remember that the class ambassadors should post their posts in the right discussion boards 674 01:09:08,050 --> 01:09:14,649 and that you can ask questions if you have any questions during the following weeks. 675 01:09:15,430 --> 01:09:18,789 You can write them down in the blog that you have in Aula Virtual. 676 01:09:19,630 --> 01:09:23,989 And Paula and I will try to help you with them. 677 01:09:24,750 --> 01:09:27,409 And, well, thank you for your attention. 678 01:09:28,270 --> 01:09:30,609 I will see if there are any questions in the chat. 679 01:09:32,770 --> 01:09:33,670 And any. 680 01:09:33,670 --> 01:09:36,869 but I would like 681 01:09:36,869 --> 01:09:38,369 really if 682 01:09:38,369 --> 01:09:40,750 to answer any questions 683 01:09:40,750 --> 01:09:42,649 that you have regarding 684 01:09:42,649 --> 01:09:43,069 this 685 01:09:43,069 --> 01:10:13,390 Thank you Paula 686 01:10:13,390 --> 01:10:16,329 That's what I meant with the blog 687 01:10:16,329 --> 01:10:17,829 so there will be a forum 688 01:10:17,829 --> 01:10:19,310 in Aula Virtual 689 01:10:19,310 --> 01:10:22,569 to solve the questions related to the Community Action 690 01:10:22,569 --> 01:10:23,130 Project 691 01:10:23,130 --> 01:10:25,970 Maybe 692 01:10:25,970 --> 01:10:34,529 Maybe you don't know, well, as you haven't decided the action that you will take, you don't have questions yet. 693 01:10:35,090 --> 01:10:41,289 But, well, if anything arouses while you are doing it, please feel free to ask. 694 01:10:41,689 --> 01:10:46,470 I will be, well, very happy to help you. 695 01:10:49,069 --> 01:10:52,670 And we have two classes and they want to do it about a different problem. 696 01:10:52,829 --> 01:10:55,350 In that case, we cannot mix them together, I guess. 697 01:10:55,970 --> 01:11:05,869 Well, that's the problem I face with my classes because they did a survey and one class wants to do it about pollution. 698 01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:12,069 Well, my topics are different from yours because I am not dealing with green spaces this year. 699 01:11:12,529 --> 01:11:14,890 But, yes, that's what happens to me. 700 01:11:14,890 --> 01:11:16,750 So it depends. 701 01:11:18,130 --> 01:11:26,850 If they are very different, I guess it's better that you do two different community action projects. 702 01:11:26,850 --> 01:11:41,149 If you can relate one to the other in some way or imagine that both of them imply having an action event like the other colleagues shared before, 703 01:11:41,810 --> 01:11:52,869 well, then maybe you can share some of the sessions also to work with both classes or use the same materials. 704 01:11:53,609 --> 01:12:13,270 But if they are very different, maybe it's better that you do two different projects and you will have your students motivated and you don't oblige them to do a type of project that is not the one that they thought about when they were doing the previous activities. 705 01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:32,939 Yes, I think it's important, too, because it has to be meaningful for them. 706 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:46,060 And as they are going to work hard on the project and we want them to collaborate, if it's their own project, it's what is going to work. 707 01:12:46,060 --> 01:12:52,819 I was telling my students this morning, I need that you come up with ideas because it's not my project. 708 01:12:53,079 --> 01:12:54,939 It's not Elena's project.

I said, no, no, this time is the opposite. 712 01:13:11,420 --> 01:13:19,359 You have to tell me what do you want to do? Because you usually don't have the opportunity to choose what you want to work on. 713 01:13:19,359 --> 01:13:23,619 And now I'm giving you the opportunity. So you have to bring the ideas to the class. 714 01:13:23,619 --> 01:13:35,170 Are there any other questions? 715 01:13:35,810 --> 01:13:38,550 Paula, do you want to add any other information? 716 01:13:41,229 --> 01:13:45,750 I think if we don't have any more questions, we can end the session here. 717 01:13:46,369 --> 01:13:47,569 Yeah, two minutes left. 718 01:13:48,050 --> 01:13:50,729 Yes, I just wanted to thank everybody for joining this session. 719 01:13:51,390 --> 01:13:54,970 I believe it was almost everybody in today's session, so that's great. 720 01:13:55,710 --> 01:14:00,609 And, again, as I said in the chat, I will set up a Q&A forum. 721 01:14:00,609 --> 01:14:18,250 So instead of, like, sending emails where, you know, the questions will remain between you and me, if we post it in the forum, you know, it will be open to everybody so we can address misunderstanding for the entire group and also, you know, offer ideas and suggestions for everybody. 722 01:14:18,430 --> 01:14:19,869 So I think that will be more beneficial. 723 01:14:20,550 --> 01:14:28,010 And I will be communicating with you guys probably after the long weekend regarding the event to give you more information. 724 01:14:28,949 --> 01:14:31,489 In the meantime, just let me know if you need anything. 725 01:14:31,869 --> 01:14:35,750 Thank you for your emails and for, you know, all your hard work this year. 726 01:14:35,750 --> 01:14:43,590 I know it's been, you know, such a challenge, but I think, you know, you guys are doing really, really great. 727 01:14:44,470 --> 01:14:57,989 And thank you, Elena, for, you know, being always there to facilitate the sessions and to offer all of your advice and wisdom when it comes to implementing the units. 728 01:14:58,010 --> 01:14:58,869 thank you so much 729 01:14:58,869 --> 01:14:59,710 thank you 730 01:14:59,710 --> 01:15:01,149 thank you 731 01:15:01,149 --> 01:15:02,829 bye 732 01:15:02,829 --> 01:15:06,710 bye bye everybody 733 01:15:06,710 --> 01:15:08,289 we'll be in touch 734 01:15:08,289 --> 01:15:10,029 thank you very much Elena 735 01:15:10,029 --> 01:15:10,489 bye 736 01:15:10,489 --> 01:15:24,489 bye bye thank you
