We were so excited, everyone said “YES”! My favorite project is the international project with India. We talked online and it was very exciting.” Kaan KARACA “Empatico project we talked with Indian children. We shared our favorite games which were Hide and Seek and tag. The places I go most in Izmir, are Konak Kemeralti and Çeşme, and Pizza Locale is my favorite restaurant. I learned that when Indian students spoke they also had an accent, but I still understood most of what we talked about. It was fun, I’d like to do it again!” Almila VAROL “I enjoyed this lesson a lot! Ms. Ann is very funny and she keeps us motivated. We are writing opinions and going over past tense, we are learning everything by having fun. Empatico was very interesting, we talked with boys who live in Kolkata, India. They wondered about our culture. We sent photos. In my opinion English lessons are the best!” Şevval Ilgın ÖZEN “I liked the Empatico lesson, it was a lot of fun. My friends danced the Zeybek and shared our folklore dance and music with them. They sang their school song and showed what a “Thunderclap” was. We did our SEV clap. Empatico lesson was different because we met new people and learned many things about Indian children.” “It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” Maya Angelou
