Description
QUESTION: Can we help a hand even if we are still a bit little? My lesson plan is born during a discussion with my 'little' students of my 'FIFTH CLASS', the last class of the primary school in Italy with children from 10 -11 years old. We live in a little rural place at 35 KM from Venice. Some of the children are well know with digital tecnologies others a bit lesser. The children like to speak always but often they have many difficultiesin listening to each other. They are very concentrated on their own lives and comunity. I would like to learn them to look a bit outside of their own comunity and learn to do something important their country and the people who are affected by the earthquake. I work two hours a week with every class. I have two fifht classes and other six classes of diffrent levels. My idea is to ask the fifht class students to invite other classes to make a collaborative paint for the art gallery the will create during the poroject. Naturaly I will involve my colleagues before. But in this project it's important that the children feel protagonists. It would be great to involve other teachers also among italian teachers in a Etwinning project. ( this part I will let it for the moment as a possibility)
Aims
Learning to listen more to each other Learn to immagine how the other can feel and think. Learn than we are never to little or 'weak' to help another. Learning by doing what it means to be a comunity. Learn how to harness our talents with and without digital tecnologies tecnologies.
Outcomes
Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Evaluation, Analysis, Affective learning outcomes

Notes:
The Art Gallery will find place after school and the kids can invite parents, teachers and friends. At the of the Gallery the will be the lottery, the children need to find an important person to extract the tickets. I divide the Art Galery time in produce and collaborate because I think this is a mixed activity.
