Monsters and Fairies

On the school year 2006-2007 four teachers, from different schools, got together to develop the TEAM Project.
Considering their students characteristics, motivations and after brainstorming, students and teachers came up with the idea of exploring the fantastic Universe of “Monsters and Fairies”.

“Shumini” was born and grew up from the ideas of different students and schools that, week after week, exchanged materials and added more information about him. All this resulted in “Monsters’ Book”.

Aside our “Monsters’ Book”, on the 8th of March,2007, we promoted a “Monsters and Fairies” encounter.
This was a highlight moment of the following process:
· Creation of Monsters and Fairies;
· Baptism of the different creations;
· Transformations of drawings into puzzles;
· Exchange between pairs, students from different schools;
· Puzzle construction.
Our main goal was to involve the students in a foreign language interaction situation, in a free and unconventional way.
With this project we intended to promote linguistic proficiency; stimulate student’s creativity and imagination; develop lexical contents and previously acquired knowledge; enhance social interaction and allow different experiences in a Foreign Language Context.

We decided to maintain last’s year theme “Monsters and Fairies”, as well as its' objectives and goals but with a different approach, focusing more on the fairies’ perspective.
