1. The students will discover more about their language and writer.
2. The other partner will read story from different countries in different language.
3. Also students will exchange cultures between each other.
4. The translation makes students improve other foreign language.
WORK PROCCESS
Part 1
Let introduce ourselves!
Each school will introduce itself in a common padlet that will be public in Twinspace.
Timing: 14 days
Part 2
Inspiration!
Each student will share the writer from their country or other countries (full name, his photo, the reason of this choice) that they like most and inspired them in collaborative online writing: meetingwords.com that we will put in twinspace.

Let's read and have fun together!
Each partner will choose max 3 writers and 3 stories from their writer to be known to the other partner. The other partner will give a short information about their lives, their books and then will make short quiz to see what the students have learned in this activity.
The activity will include 3 different tasks. 3 international teams will work collaboratively online:
Team 1
First step:
The team 1 of each partner will choose 3 most well known writers of their country. They will publish only the full name of the writers and their photos in collaborative online writing:meetingwords.com that we will put in twinspace.
Timing: 4 days.
Second step:
Team 1
First step:
The team 1 of each partner will choose 3 most well known writers of their country. They will publish only the full name of the writers and their photos in collaborative online writing:meetingwords.com that we will put in twinspace.

Second step:
Each partner will choose 3 writers that the other partners published in collaborative online writing (on condition that any writer not remains without selected). The partner should publish their choice in twinspace, after that the students of the team 1 should do research on Google about the writers (their life, books, prices gain...).
Timing: 7 days
Team 2
First step:
The second team of each partner should meet together in a video conference using twinspace to discuss about the authors that the team 1 (of course that the team 1 will share his research with the other students of the class that are part of the project) had made research. The aim of this virtual meeting is the discussion between students about their writers and sharing/ suggesting the most beautiful stories written by this writer that can be found in English and other languages.
Second step:
Team 2 should choose 1 story from each writer and tell it in English using a story telling tools: storybird/ utellstory/story maker/slidestory... and publish it in twinspace.
Timing: 10 days
Team 3
First step
The team 3 of each partner (with the help of the teacher) will create a quiz using Quizzy using the information that the other partner had publish for his national writer. For example the third Albanian team will create a quiz with the information that the X partner had found about 3 Albanian writers published before and the stories that X partner have chosen. They will publish the quiz in twinspace. Each partner will have a quiz.
Second step
Then the X partner should fill in this quiz and will publish the results.
