  (Alvide) Schools will celebrate Polish Day in
  their Schools.

  work produced during the whole Project will be
  made. A VHS film will also be produced so that
  our work can be shown at other schools of the
  same or different teaching levels, situated in
  the same community/district as our Project
  Schools. Our Schools will then visit other
  schools in the area and publicize the work they
  have accomplished.

CONSUMERS and FESTIVALS

• Working on the Project in Alvide

The School Library/Resource Center has played a
significant role in our Consumers and Festivals
Project. The Library, with its fairly wide range
of resources, has become a very important source
of information. Students involved in the project
frequently seek advice on research,
organisational and writing skills.

Translation Strategies / Techniques
The 11th graders in class 4 were divided into 3
groups and given an assignment that consisted in
translating data regarding The Czech Republic,
Poland and Portugal. This data was selected from
The World Factbook (US government profiles
containing information on the geography, people,
economy, government, transportation, of
countries and territories around the world.

CONSUMERS and FESTIVALS

• Difficulties we have come across
• It has been very interesting to carry out this
  project. We think that our students find the
  Consumer theme interesting and important for
  them.
• Sometimes it is difficult to take time away from
  regular subject matters to work on the project.
• The contact between all partners has not always
  been easy (some contacts are easy but others are
  difficult). In spite of this, I think that we
  will achieve our aims during the time we still
  have left (until 2007).

CONSUMERS and FESTIVALS

• Conclusions
• We are still in our first steps on Consumers and
  Festivals, but we must try harder regarding the
  topic Consumer Education in order to change our
  students consumer habits so that they will not
  consume unnecessary items and mould our
  pupils consumer habits to their real needs.
• I am almost sure that if we meet again next year
  Ill have better, more interesting and more
  encouraging results.
