1. Present a plan which shows clearly the staging of the activities that the students used to prepare the project (e.g. Stage 1. Choose a topic and establish groups; 2) choose the modality of Genially…)

Session 1: Explanation of the project and distribution of students into groups of 3. Since we are studying food now, my students are going to create their own restaurant: they will have to design a logo, a menu (starters, drinks, main dishes, soups, and desserts), explain what they offer and convince us to visit their restaurant. Finally, they’ll have to act out a dialogue. Assessment: there will be 4 different deadlines (project proposal, presentation with Genially, self-evaluation and oral presentation.

Session 2: A written sketch of their project.

Session 3: signing up in Genially and getting to know the app. Adding collaborators. Creation of the logo.

Session 4: Creation of the visual presentation.

Session 5: Submission of the visual presentation.

Session 6: Oral presentation and self-assessment.

2. Comment on how decisions were taken as to the grouping of students and timings of the project.

The groups should include a maximum of 3 students since the roles need to be very well thought out.

There will be 4 delivery times: their first assignment will be a written sketch of the project, then they will have to submit the presentation they have prepared using Genially, after that they’ll make their presentations and finally they will self-assess their group work. 

3. A sample of any additional materials you used (handouts, project planners, etc.)

An excellent app that I will use to communicate with my students is Google Meet. It’s a videoconference application that allows up to 30 students to be connected at the same time. I can share my screen with them to explain exactly how I want them to proceed.

4. Lastly, do not forget to reflect on how the use of the tool has optimised your students’ learning experience and has helped you achieve the objectives. Would you change anything?

The division of the projects in 4 different assignments allows the teacher to carry out a close follow-up of the work of their students. They will have more guidance throughout the process and make fewer mistakes in their final product. They will also have lots of fun while collaborating to create their presentation and it will boost their creativity.
