Process of the project.

                     Process of the project.

The idea came from the presentation which our teacher made about festivals.We didn't know what Halloween was like,or what was cheese rolling festival or orange festival and we were very interested.We wanted to improve our language skills and learn about each festival more.As Christmas was coming and it is loved by everybody we decided to make a project about this holiday and see difference between these two countries.

       We were divided into 2 groups.One group had to find information on British Christmas on the internet and make a blog.One group had to take part in this holiday,visit the church and interview the priest.We searched the information on British Council Website,collected pictures of British and Georgian Father  Christmas,Christmas meals,Christmas cracker,pudding,Christmas tree in the capitals of Georgia and Britain.We also found information on the most popular presents in Britain.We found some comments of British children about Christmas,how they decorate Christmas trees and what they eat at Christmas,how they entertain.On  December 23 the teacher let us get into the computer room and we worked on the website pimpampum/net.bubblr.Our pictures are saved in the archive.Then we began to make a power-point presentation.On 28 December 5 children went to church for an interview with the priest in our village.He didn't let us video this talk ,but he let us record it.He talked about what Christmas meant.We have this interview shortened on our blog.

      January 6,11 o'clock.On Christmas Eve every Christian light a candle in the window in Georgia.This means that we call mother virgin in our houses.

   On January 7 all the priests,parishioners and churchwardens parade through the streets to collect sweets and money for charity.This is called "Alilo".We went to town to take part in  Alilo.The priest threw consecrated water in the streets.One of us was permitted to put the uniform of a churchwarden and he delivered icons to people in the streets together with the priests.

        In January we made a blog.At the end of January we made British pudding and Georgian Christmas desert "gozinaki".We also decorated Christmas tree.At last the day of the presentation came and on January 28 we made a presentation in school.We invited the principle,the depute principle,our classmates some of our schoolmates.We presented pudding and gozinaki to our guests and tasted them together.Then we sang "Jingle Bells".We have used websites and pictures of our working process on our blog.
    At the end of the project we did self-assessment rubric.

Interview with the priest.

On December 28 Nino,Zakro, Mzia,Nika and Vakho paid a visit to the priest in our village.The priest talked about Christmas.We recorded the interview.He said that Christmas is an Orthodox holiday.It means that Christ was born from a virgin.He came to the earth to survive a human from devil,to bring a human to the paradise.He was brought up among people and he learnt people's problems.He made mysteries,cured the sick and the blind.But in the end people killed him.Christ was killed to survive people from the Hell.
This is a short variant of his talk.
