General overview, aims and proposed activities

​

​

Therefore, practical activities are the main content of this module. The activities are intended to motivate: “learning by doing” and “inclusion through co-creation”. 
As this module has the format of a workshop, the structure is a bit different from the other modules. In this module, there will not be background texts, but a wealth of activities that you can try in your classes. However, each activity will include a thorough introduction to the learning goal and purpose of the activity; it will suggest didactical methods and links to relevant studies or organizations with expertise in the field.
Under the overall focus on collaborative learning and creative expression, the activities seek to engage other skills and competences. 
These are: 
-    Language skills 
-    Digital skills
-    Independence: the ability to take responsibility for some of the tasks within the team work 
-    Social competences; the ability to engage in dialogue and make compromises in the team 

In the introduction of each activity, it will be evident how the activity engages these skills specifically. In general, all activities will take its point of departure in a well-known expression form i.e. movies, and give the pupils the task to develop their own movie in collaboration with some of their classmates. In the process of the production, the pupils are collaborating and taking decisions how they want their end-product, they are evidently working with languages (National language, English, Arabic, Body-language and so forth) and digital medias. 

 

Each activity is built over more than one class session, the number of suggested sessions will be apparent in the particular activity guide. You are not expected to try all the activities in class, but work with the activities that you find most relevant and exciting for your class teaching.
