Then, pupils will write a collaborative horror/sci-fi story, one country starts the story and the other countries continue it. Then one partner illustrates the other partners’ story.

Pupils will then draw and choose the cover of the book and advertise it with a poster.

Pupils are told about the theme and purpose of the project, then they create a timeline with activities, tasks and deadlines. The timeline will be displayed in the classroom as a remainder of what needs to be done.

The classes meet on Hangouts or Adobe Connect and introduce themselves, ask questions etc.

Pupils will write a collaborative horror/sci-fi story, one country starts the story and the other countries continue it. Then one partner will draw scenes from the other partners’ story.

Each class draw a cover for the e-book, then share it with the partners. Every student will then vote his/her favourite cover and the most voted will be the official cover of the book.
