The Italians during the meeting in Spain will follow normal Spanish lessons. I advise the Greek to consider also a lesson on the alphabet.

5)      A multilingual dictionary at the end of the Guidebook, including specifically words about: 1) tourism; 2) young people’s most common expressions

To implement our activities we could use “PREZI” (www.prezi.com) and “ISSUU” (www.issuu.com) 

Things to start doing:

1)      Once you get the STUDENTS’ PASSPORTS, have it filled by the students who will travel to Spain and send them immediately to Carmen;

2)      Decide if the SATISFACTION QUESTIONNAIRE is OK, or tell everybody what you would like to change;

3)      Prepare a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION of your school and area to present once in Poio (5’ – 10’ min.);

4)      Ask students to draw a LOGO to be voted in Spain (they can prepare as many as they wish, but only one will be brought to Spain). In Spain 7 students per nation will vote: 5 pts. to the best, then 4, 3, 2, 1.

5)      SPAIN ONLY: brainstorming activity with your students: what do you want to show/do to/with your guests?

6)      SPAIN/GREECE: open the eTwinning site and once it is ready and approved, invite us;
