Control of transparencies written by students in the workshops to avoid too many mistakes (by an English teacher)

Meeting in Reggio di Calabria:
Consumer habits and their impact on environment and economy
28th of November – 2nd of December 2007

What to do?
An inquiry in all countries: How much rubbish in my every day life and how to avoid this?
Each school will do this in its own way and prepare a presentation at info-points as usual.

Spain would like to do a common film (DVD). All schools are asked to send videos and/or pictures to Spain before end of October!

Teachers discussing the contents and structure of our "European Cook-Book"


”EUrecipies – Cooking European”

Each country participates in the cookbook with:
one starter
one main course
one dessert
Each dish should be both traditional and healthy

Structure of the cookbook:
Front page: The art-classes of each country make a proposition for a front page, which is emailed to the other participants of the Comenius-project. When all the propositions have been seen, a vote is cast between the participants about which proposition to use.
Title: “EUrecipes – Cooking European”
General Introduction: Explanation of the idea of the cookbook (Renates version), and the structure of the cookbook (7-12 lines). Written in all languages of the project.
Starters from all the countries
Main courses from all the countries
Desserts from all the countries
Overview
of the pages in which the dishes of each country is found (f.ex. the dishes of France located in page 3, 12 and 25), ordered alphabetically

Each chapter (starter, main course and dessert) should start with a page containing pictures of the different courses in the chapter with a little flag in the corner of each picture.

There should be a large inviting picture for each course, and a general short and clear text explaining the dish. Each dish is presented in 2 A5-pages, with text set in 10 pkt. Arial. The right page should contain a large inviting picture of the dish. The left page should contain the text ordered as follows:
1. Name of the dish
2. Level of difficulty of the dish, indicated by one to three flags
3. Ingredients
4. Instructions
5. Fact-box, with special information pertaining to the dish and perhaps explanation of difficult words
There should not necessarily be an exactly similar layout of each page, because the layout of these could reflect the diversity of the countries.
