Skills to develop
Project Activities
Our Stories, Our Voices: Getting Started
Students share personal stories about their communities in a warm, informal setting, then learn what makes a good story. The class discusses why telling our own stories matters and what they'll create together.
Writing and Sharing Our First Stories
Students write original short stories or personal narratives about their communities and experiences in English, then exchange them with the partner class for initial feedback and questions. They begin to see how their stories connect to and differ from peers around the world.
Editing Together: Learning From Feedback
Students receive peer feedback from their partner class and from classmates, then revise their stories by applying the suggestions. They also read partner stories and practice giving constructive feedback, building editing skills and intercultural understanding.
Designing and Publishing Our Bilingual Collection
The class works together to design a digital story collection that showcases all stories from both classes, choosing layout, images, and how to present the bilingual aspect. Students finalize their stories and help publish the collection online.
Celebrating Our Global Voices
Students present and reflect on their published collection, sharing what they learned about their own communities, how international feedback changed their writing, and what it felt like to see their voices in print alongside peers from around the world.
