Description:
Three primary school classes worked together on turning a chosen book - the Little
Prince - into theatre performances, slide presentations and comic books published on
the Internet. To make the experience more real, pupils produce a Little Prince visit to
their own country, present it on stage and organise an exhibition about the project.
The pupils were 10-12 old and the aims of the project were to motivate pupils to
love reading, to help them improve their foreign language skills, make contact with
peers from other countries and to improve their computer, theatre, drawing, writing
and speaking skills.
Pupils use various techniques to design/draw scenes from the book. Pupils' drawings
are then scanned, exchanged between the classes and printed, and pupils organise an
exhibition in their schools. The slide presentations made by pupils in all the classes
are put together in order to create a joint presentation. Similarly, all the videos from
the theatre performances are merged to create a joint movie.
