webquest Sant'Imbenia (Raffaele Vacca IIA)

icing on the cake

definitively this is the best way to finish an in-service course: a  tastilicious  party at the end.  Our sparkling colleague Angelina made the cake (her manjia branc was very delicious, still a bit too hot though). Raffaela made great cardinali stuffed with a yummy custard. and just add a nice glass of white wine et les jeux sont faits!

The course? Well, it was  interesting and helpful. but what counts most is that the course  was a good opportunity for us all to learn and practise some more  teaching activities and techniques of the Cooperative Learning approach. 

A big thank you to Giovanna and Antonella, 
Marco 

(Yummy) home-made  Cardinali by Raffaela.

They are not shouting at me ( no, no. no!)  they are just asking me politely (!?!)
 to hurry up and join the whole group  for the photo!

mind map

Mind maps can turn out to be very useful in many  ways, i.e. review sessions, remedial work, brainstorming and so on. I decided to structure this mind map so as to facilitate the topic we were studying. but I also decided to differentiate its use depending on the class. first I asked my students to produce a paragraph out of it (a sort of writing on notes). contrariwise, and in another class, I  employed it as a guided note taking practice task. I asked in fact the students to complete and implement the mind map while reading a commenting a text with them.

here is an example of a  paragraph written by a student (writing on notes).

The nuragic complex of Sant’Imbenia formed by the nuraghe and the village. The nuraghe had a square plane with large central tower called mastio and two smaller towers. It was dated 1400BC and the excavations started in the 80s. The archeologist found blocks of stone in the shape of T and a L used for build the top of the nuraghe.

The village was inhabited up to the bronze and iron age. It had theree tipes of huts: with niches, with hoards and with basin. In the village there were dwellings, temples and warehouses used by the people. Davide Canu IB

The nuraghe

The nuraghe, with a square plan, is dated in 1400BC and has been cleaned and studied but he archaeological excavations on this site started in the 80s.

The complex is formed by a large central tower called Mastio or Keep and two smaller towers.

During the excavations numerous blocks of stone have been found in the shape of a T and a L.

The nuraghe is today considered a watching tower.

The village

The nuragic civilisation was born in Sardinia around 15th century BC.

The village is formed by three huts: hut with a niches, hut with a hoards (they found two amphorae inside) and hut with a basin (also called because there is a big basin on the centre).

The nuragic village is considered a temple/house of the tribe’s chief evolved but it was inhabited up to the Bronze and Iron age.
