Course : etwinning project 2024-25 Around the world in 8 months

The clock on Big Ben in London has stopped: time is still, and London has turned into a ghost city because its clock is entangled in a spell.

Only a magical melody can solve the problem.

A brave explorer has a mission: to find the magical sequence of musical notes that will allow the clock to start again and life in London to continue. He must travel around the globe to find the correct notes.

Students work in international groups. They take on roles such as writers, illustrators, researchers, game creators, designers, engineers, reporters, musicians and journalists. Each school has a different role in each chapter.

Painters: They prepare the cover for the chapter.

Writers: They write the chapter set in the city.

One school writes a short description of the town (it is not a tourist guide, so the description must be lovely and original) with some hints at natural beauties and historical monuments, but only a few lines.

One school writes the story (actions of the explorer, etc.).

One school writes a sentence about "What did the explorer learn during the adventure in the city?"

Illustrators: They illustrate the content of the chapter.

One school describes, one school creates the picture with AI.

Game creators: They create a game (quiz or other) about the city.

Designers: They design a means of transportation that the explorer will use to leave the city and travel to the next one.

Engineers: They draw or construct the means of transportation according to the instructions provided by the Designers.

Reporters: They fill in a logbook with the main actions of the explorer in that chapter (1 page for the logbook).

Musicians: they have a key role as they write a sequence of 12 musical notes for that city.

Journalists: They write a short article about the explorer's actions in the city (1 page).

The same procedure (writing the chapter, illustrating the adventure, creating the quiz, constructing the means of transportation, and so on) is followed each time until all cities have been featured in the book.

In each city, the explorer learns something, and at the end, he is able to select the correct sequence of notes - among the 5 sequences that students wrote - in order to make Big Ben work again.

Students vote for their favourite sequence of musical notes
