JOB WORTH DOING

This blog follows our school work on an eTwinning project called Job Worth Doing. The project intends to make our pupils think about their future careers. There are three schools involved, two from the Czech Republic and one from France. After getting to know each other, our pupils will take part in communicative activities which will induce them to discover various jobs, improve their English skills and… have fun!

Video from Bohemia



Moravian school suggested:
1) The video should take place in the hospiatal
2) There should appear a doctor who is in love and a patient who is scared

Video from Moravia

The last task of our project is making a video. Each school gives the other schools the setting of the video and write who are two main characters of the video and what kind of people they are.

Bohemian school suggested:
1) The video should take place at the supermarket
2) There should appear a nervous shop assistant and an indecisive customer

We decided to make one video where all the pupils will play.

Enjoy! :-)

Working on a Comic!

Another task for our eTwinning project was a comic! Each school makes a comic and sends it to the other schools to fill in the bubbles. In our school the pupils wanted to make
small groups and each group to work on its own comic. In the end we had four fantasic comics! Well done!!
Here are some parts of the comics. The pupils are just hilarious!

One group made a funny comic about homeless...
... the other group about a powerful drink that helped one weak guy to become strong.
.. and who is the robber? Is that a girl or a boy? Very funny comic about one robbery.
And the last comic about a policeman who fell in love!

Programmer Tommy is in Love

In a video task each school suggested 3 words that we all should use in a song. The song should be about a chosen job. The Moravia chose a Programmer and started to rehearse. It took us a lot of lessons to write the song and make a video but at the end we are very satisfied with our video! :-)

The words all schools used in their songs were: flowers, sleep, time, blue, computer, friends, sun, quickly, mouse



And here you can see our lyrics:

Programmer Tommy is in Love

Tommy and his computer were lovers
He wanted to give it everything
Blue flowers, friends,
And most of all a golden mouse!

His boss told him to do some job
It must be done very quickly and right
But Tommy couldn´t start his PC
So he had to switch a different comp

Tell my PC I love it
Tell my PC I need it
Tell my PC its my the only date
But I´ve something to do that cannot wait

He went to do the important job
But he was there on a different comp
Everything different as he started to work
Around the comp they were and nothing worked

No one knows what´s going on
Why nothing works and no sun is in the sky
But Tommy knows his comp is the best
With his hand on his heart they hear Tommy say

Tell my PC I love it
Tell my PC I need it
Tell my PC not to cry
My love for it will never die

Now in the office where Tommy sleeps and works
His boss shouts at him and he is out of his mind
Where is your work why it´s not done on time
Then alone in the toilet they can hear him cry

Tell my PC I love it
Tell my PC I need it
Tell my PC its my the only date
But I had something to do that couldn´t wait

Meeting in Ostrozska Lhota

At the weekend Marci from Bohemia met Marci from Moravia. We met in the native village of Marci from Bohemia - Ostrazska Lhota. The day was beautiful but veeery windy. While sitting in a cozy cafe we shared our experience with working on the project, how we were shooting the song video and what is still waiting for us.

Comic touch

Everybody is busy with preparing a song about a chosen occupation. However, pupils in Bohemia find some time to have a comic fun! :-) Their teacher found a few empty comic strips and gave them to the pupils to fill them up! Who knows how the comic strips will look like when we create them all by ourselves soon!

The points were counted and the winner of an eTwinning T-shirt is Veronika! Congratulation! Aneta was the second, then Patrik, Renata, Jana and Sabina.

Quiz about our project

Pupils from Uherské Hradiště were ready for a quiz about the project but the computers were too slow. It was decided to fill in the questions online from home. Who is going to have the most correct answers?

2011/02/08

What are our plans?

We begin our project with a short activity where we introduce ourselves. At the same time the pupils start designing a logo for our project. It is a competition and the best logo will be used in the future. We are looking forward to an activity where each class will create a song about one occupation. In April we make a comic strip with our own photos and ask our partners to fill in bubbles in the comic. We conclude our project in May with a video activity, involving two jobs and two moods.

We start our project today!

Our eTwinning project is registered today. We are excited! The TwinSpace, platform for schools where we can share our ideas together, is opened and we can start. The first step is changing the name of our project. A job worth doing is a job worth doing well is a nice name but a bit too long. We change it to Job Worth Doing and start preparing the TwinSpace for our activities. All of them should induce our teen-age pupils to discover various jobs, improve their English skills and... have fun!
