This project consists of some basic steps and the others will be determined with the members. It will last for four months.

In March the students will prepare logos and posters for the ğrohect and we will choose the best ogo and poster that reflect our project best. After that the students and the teachers are going to introduce themselves. Later on the students introduce their schools.

In April and May we are going to give recipes and cook the dishes. This step will be determined according to the number of the participants. Generally one country will give the recipe and all the other countries will cook that dish. The number of the dishes and recipes will be defined when the project starts.

The students will use different web 2.0 tools to give recipes. While they are cooking they will shoot videos than share them on twinspace. Then all the students grade eacher others’  work, which foster their communication and collaboration. At the end of each cooking step we will choose the best dish just for fun.

For a final and collaborative product we will shoot a video of a meal that is common in all countries. Each country will shoot one step of the dish such as preparing the ingredients, washing them, slicing them, cooking and serving etc. Then we will put together the videos. Our second final product will be a cook book. We will create an e-book with the dishes we will have cooked.
