CELEBRATION 9TH MAY EUROPE DAY
We celebrated this day with a game.
Our students prepared this game.
For the game we used Trivebty Web Tool.
Our students signed up triventy.
They did not use their surnames while signing up.
They made a research on Europe (geography, history, culture, economy, etc)
And they wrote their question with multiple choice answers. Also with the correct answer.
As teachers we checked these questions with the student who had written. If there was a mistake our students corrected the question or answer.
For this task we did not using forum part of Twinspace because we didn't want the students in our teams to see the questions and answers before they were playing the game.
Our students played the game on an online meeting
Our project was on the meeting for eTwinning and Europe Day, organized by Gaziantep Provincial Directorate of National Education Research and Development
