Memories
The theme of the first transnational meeting was Memories. 2 students and 2 teachers from every school joined the first mobility: the teachers who were active in the eTwinning project and the students who participated in the theatre workshops. The themes of this mobility were the "Simple Past Tense" and "Irregular Verbs". The project activities were integrated in the normal curricula of the involved schools.The mobility included sharing games related to "The past" and "Past memories", games that were prepared at each partner school and were played and collected in an e-book. At last, the students performed plays related to the connection between past and present, plays they had written together
Two Methodologies adopted during the activities were Total Physical Response and Communicative Approach. While teaching English with games, the partners used Total Physical Response.
While performing the Drama, they used a Communicative Approach.
