Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 

The project is born from the collaboration between some teacher and students belonging to the Institute Comprehensive "Ex Circolo Didattico" of Rionero in Vulture (Italy) and the 1st Primary School New Redestou, Thessaloniki (Greece). The idea that led us to realize this project is the fact that although it is widely recognized the formative importance of the reading, today's students continue to show little interest in this type of activity. Overcoming the traditional approach instrumental and technicist this project, by creating a learning environment motivating and collaborative, involves students in a series of creative and fun activities such as to involve them in their emotional, cognitive, communicative, relational, social sphere and turn their indifference to love for reading. Reading the book it has been integrated by the use of modern languages of communication and creatively reworked. Starting from the reading of the classical myths the students refined and processed informations, identified linkages and relationships, communicated and collaborated, made a path that led them to the creative use of writing. Through a series of tasks based and collaborative problem solving activities pupils were led to some important classical Greek and Roman myths, their heroes and characters to reflect on the values that they passed on to find in them a safe compass for orientation in a society based on insecurity, on appearance, and built on a value system increasingly tenuous, which is one in which we live. The collaboration and, therefore, the implementation of the project was realized according to the following plan Project http://v.gd/XMl8Vr Pupils have collaborated following the directions that were provided to them through the allocation of tasks and shown in the following page http://twinspace.etwinning.net/560/pages/page/20460
