  My students created their own id cards as the citizens of their dream city on Canva. They used their avatars as their pictures. They were also careful about not using their full names for privacy. They enjoyed the activity a lot :)

  My students created the models of the city in their dreams and we exhibited them on the school corridor. It gave us the chance to share our project with the other teachers, students and parents. I am so proud of my students who worked hard through the project :)

 CITY DRAWINGS These are our city drawings. My students worked in pairs to make the drawings, as not everyone is talented at drawing and painting, so they helped each other. That's why we ended up having only 6 drawings.

 ONLINE POSTER PUZZLE My students created posters for the project, then they voted their favourite one. I didn't tell them which poster was the winner. Instead, I made them play the puzzle that was created and this way they found out the winner poster. They played on their phones and each tried to be the first one to complete the puzzle.

 ID CARDS My students made their IDs on canva by adding their name, their birth year and the name of the city we chose by voting. They also added pictures of their avatars which they created on whatsapp, as it was easier form them like this. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGmyrc0xe4/QpTbXJFb6a-K0WE-kRsuVA/view?utm_content=DAGmyrc0xe4&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h8037fd69ed This is what an ID looks like (all IDs can be seen by accessing the above link)

 3D CITY MODELS I divided the children into groups of 4-6 and let them exercise their creativity. They imagined what their city would look like, then created it out of various recyclable materials (milk cartons, cardboard) and other objects. They glued, painted and named the buildings. At the end, students had to present their city to their classmates, using the new vocabulary they had learned (names of buildings, places, means of transportation). I think this was the most fun activity of the project for them. These are some of the 3D models my students created for the model city. They imagined colourful cities with clean and safe streets, and many useful buildings.

 WORD CLOUDS These word clouds were created by my students. I showed them how to make word clouds on wordart and they created several ones by using words related to places in town and means of transport. We then chose three word clouds to upload to the twinspace, as requested.

 MIND MAP My students were working on the mindmap today. They brainstormed lots of adjectives to describe an ideal, dreamlike city. Among the words they used to describe the dream city: safe, cozy, magical, friendly, beautiful, clean, fun, happy etc.

 FACILITIES OF THE CITY This activity was organized in groups. My students had to create a poster: they had to think of sentences to describe the various places in the city, specifically what people can do in different places in the city. Some of their sentences: You can learn at school. You can eat at the restaurant. You can watch a movie at the cinema. You can visit a museum. You can buy things at the supermarket. You can see animals at the zoo. You can buy meat at the butcher's. You can buy medicine at the pharmacy.

 KAHOOT GAME My students had a great time playing the games their friends sent them. I hosted the game online and they played on their phones. They absolutely loved it and now they want to play a game at each lesson! The competitive character of the game made them more focused on learning and remembering the words. My students brainstormed how to define places in the city, then made them into a little kahoot game for their partners. Playing games is a fun way of reviewing vocabulary. https://create.kahoot.it/share/in-town-vocabulary/e92f33c5-3da1-4693-9571-1350bb313594

 BAAMBOOZLE GAME The baamboozle game our friends made for us was an excellent occasion to review words related to places in the city and means of transport. We had a great time playing it. And here's the game we created for our partners. We hope they'll enjoy it. https://www.baamboozle.com/game/3274831

 SLOGANS My students made the posters, logos and slogans on canva at home, by themselves, as they already know how to work on canva. The tasks were divided among them, so that everyone was able participate in some way, according to their abilities.

 STUDENTS' INTRODUCTIONS My students introduce themselves for the project. They chose to share only their names and ages thinking that their partners will get to know them better through their work instead.

  Both Turkish and Romanian students created three city- themed word clouds using words related to  public buildings and transportation such as school, hospital, library, bus, train, boat etc. Here is the photo collage of these word clouds showing our collaborative work.
