F4. INTEGRATION INTO ONGOING ACTIVITIES
If your partnership focuses mainly on pupil/learner involvement, please explain how the project will be integrated into the curriculum/learning activities of the participating pupil/learner/trainee in each of the participating organisations.
And/or
If your partnership mainly deals with pedagogical or management issues, please explain how the project will be integrated into the ongoing activities of the participating organisations.
Since the partnership focuses mainly on pupil involvement, this project will successfully be integrated into the learning activities of the participating pupils. We should mention that all the topics are already incorporated in the curriculum subjects:
We can work on democracy in Philosophy, History, and Civic Education, and we can learn and improve our democratic habits by working in group.
We can study Mythology through Literature, Music, Art, History, and Philosophy.
The comfort of urban life, the waterway system, roads, city planning... can be studied from a technical (Maths, Physics, Technology), artistic (Art) or historical point of view (History).
We can approach Greek and Roman Art from an artistic or historical point of view. Besides, we can analyse the role Maths played on sculpture or architecture. And the materials and tools Greeks and Romans used in sculpture, architecture, ceramics, engineering will be also studied in Technology, Geology or Chemistry.
The contribution of Greeks to Maths and Physics can be analysed in those subjects, or in Philosophy and History.
We can work on the influence of Latin on all the partners’ languages studying Galician, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, French, English, Polish, Turkish, and German language.
PE teachers could organise games known since ancient times, like discus or running.
Information Technology: we will use ICT Tools in order to seek information, communicate, analyse, process and present the results.
The school library will be also involved in our project by offering a lot of material (books, computers, DVD players, projectors…) as well as a nice place to work and meet.
Our aim is to provide inspiration to pupils so that they not only look into information but also analyse it, compose it and finally fuel their creativity into the fields of science and arts.

ReplyDeleteSince the partnership focuses mainly on pupil involvement, this project will be integrated very satisfactorily in to the learning activities of the participating pupils. We should mention that subjects like Art in ancient Greece and its impact on contemporary world are already incorporated in some subjects, like history. Our aim is to provide inspiration to pupils so that they not only look into information but also analyze it, compose it and finally fuel their creativity into domains of science and arts.
Below we mention specific links of the project with curriculum subjects:
PE: organize and participate in games known since ancient times, for example: running, discus etc.
Chemistry: use of materials and substances in the manufacture of pottery; how chemistry defines the time an artefact was constructed
Arts lesson: encourage cultural activities, drawing of famous ancient statues, visits to museums
History: study the history of the Olympic games, history of arts, how Renaissance was influenced by Greek art
Technology – Engineering: excavation and transportation of marble and stone from ancient quarries, construction of the ancient works of art (tools and machinery used and the technical knowledge Ancient Greeks possessed)
Mathematics: application of mathematic rules in the construction of temples
Literature: extracts referring to the impact that ancient Greek Art had on modern world
English: ignite minds to look into authentic texts written by the 19th century travellers about Greek art, translate excerpts.
Informatics: Use ICT Tools in order to seek information, communicate, analyze, process and present the results.
Do you think each school has to describe how it´s going to integrate the project into ongoing activities?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, Paloma, what alexhandra says is sufficient, we just have to add something.
ReplyDeletesomething like:
-teachers of each school centre promise to work on the themes above mentioned and to put these themes on their annual studying plans
-students should become responsible for what thay are studying
-they must be informed on what their international mates are doing
- all the results of this investigation should be showed in a final conference/show/exhibition...
But we could include, as an example, something like Alexandra's, couldn't we?
ReplyDeleteI’d like to involve the school libraries in the project. Our school is involved in a program called “Plan to improve school libraries” and we have got funds to buy a lot of material: books, computers, a DVD player, a projector, a screen, some specific furniture, curtains… We have to propose an annual topic to work on: the current one is Saint James’ s Ways. So, to ensure the integration of the project into ongoing activities we won’t be able to do nothing better than to propose the Latin and Greek heritage as the subject for the two next courses. Besides, the school libraries often offer a nice place to work and meet.

ReplyDeleteOK, I was suggesting to put something in general without specifying what each school is going to do.
