• https://www.thebigchallenge.com/benelux/teacher/contest/

• You will all receive an email or code from me tomorrow, with which you can log in to the site and practice for the big challenge.

Building Bridges 

• You are going to make a 3 minute video, in groups of 5 students. About the topic ‘’special days’’
• Deadline 22-3-2023 (next Wednesday) before 20:30. Use wetransfer.com to send it to me.

• Everyone in your group has to talk about the same topic, so make sure you all agree. 

• There has to be 1 president, who is going to make sure you all hold up to the agreements.
  
• If there is someone who does not keep to the agreements or does not participate in making the video, this person will make a video on his own after school.

• Your teacher will send the video to the other school before the live meetings. You will get feedback on the video based on the Anglia CARAT system. 

Building Bridges 

• Form your group.
• I want to know when you are going to make the video (date and time).

• Find a ''special day'' that you are going to talk about (time 5 minuts.).

• Start with writing your script. First, you will write down in a word document who the team leader is. 
• Then you make sure that at least two people have the final video on their phone. You also note this in the word document
• And at last, write down exactly what you want to say in the video. This way all you have to do is create the video.

Make sure you work together, stick to the time limit, organize your message.

Leprechauns

Irish children are told that at the end of every rainbow there is a leprechaun with a pot of gold. Leprechauns are very clever and fast. They've got red hair and a beard, are very small and they usually wear a green suit and hat. They live alone, under the ground, in the countryside and make shoes. They like to make music and tell jokes. 

Bring headphones tomorrow and have a nice day!
