WHAT'S NEXT? E-TWINNING PROJECT

ABOUT "WHAT'S NEXT?"
This project aims to encourage students to write in English . Partner countries will complete each others’ stories. Students will also draw pictures according to theme in the stories. The power of art will be included into language learning. Our more general aim is to promote intercultural awareness of students mainly, teachers and local communities of participating countries through stories and to develop the values of active European citizenship based on understanding, mutual respect and tolerance for other nations. When the students complete the other students’ stories, they will be very aware of the cultural and social attitudes of partner countries. Both a hard copy and a digital e-book will be published as final products. Students reading, understanding and writing skills will be assessed at the end of the project.

PROJECT 7

5. PROJECT 7 In the year of 1998, at Gran Telescopio Canarias scientists discovered a huge meteorite making his way towards the planet earth. It was moving with the speed of 11km/sec and it was located near the Saturn. The scientists calculated the space between the earth and Saturn and it was approximately 1.2 billion kilometers. They used those numbers to calculate the time when the meteor will strike the earth, so they took 1.2 and divided it with 11, then they kept dividing it two times with 60 and at the end divided the outcoming number one last time with In result they finally came up to conclusion that the meteor will strike earth after 1 262 days, but the question is, what will happen next, and how will scientists solve this problem?

Toby

Toby was just an average sixteen years old boy. He was living in San Francisco,California. Toby was really close with his dad because his mother died when he was a baby.

There was a sudden bright light which startled the figure. The light illuminated the pale boy’s face. His greenish-yellow eyes were wide with terror and his mouth was agape revealing his abnormally sharp teeth. He was cradling his bleeding arm and if you looked closer, you could see the watercolor bruises peeking out from under his dirtied white gown. There was shouting and the alarms started blaring. That seemed to startle the boy as he quickly ran into an alleyway. He kept running until he spotted a dumpster. He scrambled to hide behind it. He held his breath and waited. And waited. When he could...
