From October 18th to October 23rd, I’ll be holding interactive classes with fourth graders that will result in educational animations made in Scratch, both in English and in the mother tongue. Three main goals are meant to be realized through the following activities: 1. At the end of the first activity, which includes introducing the students to the basic animations, they will be able to make given animations in Scratch and to create educational digital materials on their own. 2. Through the second activity, the students will repeat/recall their knowledge from various school subjects (health education, biology, ecology...). They work in pairs, thinking and discussing what to animate and how to do it. The theme of the educational material they are going to create refers to the Sustainable Development Goals (activity of the eTwinning project Let's Live Sustainably). Each pair of students decides on what theme/topic to create a short educational animation. For example, they can animate an apple introducing itself as a promoter of World Food Day, a bear speaking about forest devastation, a fish speaking of polluted river, a boy sending eco-messages, a girl working for a charity... 3. Throughout the third activity the students create a project in Scratch, name it and present it to other students with whom they analyze their work and talk about (possible) improvements. 4. In this activity the students practice the English language since they translate the text of the animation from their mother tongue into English. 5. The students copy the project they have done and put the English text into it. They put their projects into Twinspace of the project Let's Live Sustainably and therefore educate other colleagues throughout the Europe and encourage them to do something like that themselves. Od 18. 10 do 23.10. održat ću interaktivne satove s učenicima četvrtoga razreda koji će kao rezultat imati edukativne animacije napravljene u Scratchu na materinjem i engleskom jeziku. Slijede planirane aktivnosti kroz koje se ostvaruju tri glavna cilja: 1.) Na kraju prve aktivnosti, koja uključuje upoznavanje učenika s osnovnim animacijama, učenici će znati samostalno napraviti zadane animacije u Scratchu i kreirati edukativne digitalne materijale. 2.) U drugoj aktivnosti učenici će ponoviti znanja iz više nastavnih predmeta (zdravstvenog odgoja, biologije, ekologije….). Promišljaju što će i kako animirati, a tema edukativnog materijala koji će napraviti odnosi se na ciljeve održivoga razvoja (aktivnost eTwinning projekta Let’s Live Sustainably). U paru dogovaraju temu o kojoj će napraviti kratku edukativnu animaciju. Npr. mogu napraviti animacija jabuke koja će se predstaviti povodom Svjetskog dana hrane, animaciju medvjeda koji govori o uništavanju šuma, animacija ribe koja govori o zagađenoj rijeci, animacija dječaka koji šalje eko-poruke, animacija djevojčice koja se bavi humanitarnim radom… 3.) U trećoj aktivnosti kreiraju project u Scratchu, imenuju ga i demonstriraju ostalim učenicima s kojima analiziraju svoj rad i razgovaraju o eventualnim mogućnostima za poboljšanje istoga. 4.) U ovoj aktivnosti učenici uvježbavaju engleski jezik jer tekst animacije prevode sa svoga materinjeg jezika na engleski. 5. Učenici kopiraju napravljeni projekt i tekst upisuju na engleskom jeziku. Postavljaju svoje projekte na Twinspace Let's Live Sustainably projekta i tako educiraju i ostale kolege diljem Europe te ih potiču da se i sami okušaju u izradi istih ili sličnih. Students will be developing coding skills, computational thinking, digital creativity and critical thinking (učenici će promišljati o temi, načinu realizacije projekta, razgovarati o projektima, komentirati, predlagati. The activity helps students think, reflect, innovate about the topic of the activity.) The estimated duration of the activity po 2 hours tijekom pet radnih dana. Children will work in pairs in the computer room, on computers with internet connection. They will also use bookc, dictionaty, internet.
