Collaborative storytelling
Dear students, create a children's story about Easter traditions in collaboration and please follow the instructions for this activity.
We have created work teams: each team comprises two international groups.
Below the instructions we insert a shared, blank Google presentation. Use your imagination.
Each team has a task and on each page of the presentation write down the relevant team, as in the example.
Good work to all.
