Activities for Romania Meeting

 

PICNIC WITH SURPRISE ...

-The first step was to write a story about empathy and human-animal bonding

- We worked in groups in our classrooms and computer Lab, using online technologies.

- We filmed three of our stories using: smartphones, videocameras, and different apps.

- Three shorts films were realized and the best one was selected by a commission of teachers.

-The winner film was selected for the immediacy of its message and the beauty of the landscape.

- This activity enabled us to develop our language skills and imagination, using new online technologies to get acquainted with them, we had great fun.

 

The Story

A  group of friends organizes a picnic. It's a beautiful  afternoon, Maria Pia, Antonio, Francesca, Federica, Guglielmo,  ..... after a long but  funny walk,  arrive  in “Pozzo di Nitti”.

Each of them is having fun ... playing…eating…running…laughing…joking…

…. But suddenly .... their laughters  are interrupted by some moans  coming from the wood.

Everybody,  curious  goes to see ... there's a little dog, he's tied to a tree, alone, desperate ... and ... hungry.

    They come close to him, untie , caress , give him some food and celebrate him!

They give him a name….. Lucky…..he’s Lucky!

They  are happy… chasing , playing  ...

 The dog with his sweetness conquers everyone.

 Then, the guys  question:

"But now what do we have to do? ... we can't leave him  here, ... we have to do something, .... we have to help him!

 One of them “Guglielmo says:  “I want to take care of him…..I’ll take him home with me!”

Everyone agrees….Guglielmo , happy, comes home with a great surprise…..

They all  come home happy  ….. happy to have finished  a beautiful day….. with a surprise…. the finding of a new friend!

Availability to others, new encounters, are important aspects of life that highlight feelings such as friendship, protection, solidarity, and especially love.

  The guys have done it ... We all should be like them!
