VIAGGIO VIRTUALE IN ITALIA
(Federica Protti)
In collaboration with IACE, Superciao Tour proposes a unique opportunity which will provide: - the development of work outlines in an innovative classroom viewpoint - experiencing real life situations, not documentaries - lived experiences of students, not stories - onsite and online work experiences, not theoretical lessons New, for those who want to take their class on a virtual trip to Italy, as seen through actual student trips to Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Siena, Pompeii.
DIARIO DI VIAGGIO
The online project “Diario di viaggio” presents to the students 8 different trips taken by some friends on their discovery through the Italian territory and its wealth of treasures. The itineraries take them through Rome, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Siena, Milano, and the island of Sicily, as they experience the world-renowned masterpieces of Italian artists. The story line is presented through comic strips and photos of the principal city monuments are simultaneously displayed in the background. As students browse through the comic strip, they can listen to the characters’ Italian dialogue as well as read the English subtitles. The required tasks include questions which force re-reading of both the comic strip and text.
IMMAGINI D’ARTE ITALIANA
(Sonia Beretta, Federica Protti)
The online project “Immagini d’arte italiana” provides an extensive array of art works produced by the grand masters of different periods of Italian art. The goal is for the student to familiarize himself with each work through play. Using and piecing puzzles of different levels of complexity, lead the student to discover and learn details of the individual works. The artists and works presented are: Giotto (1337) Il dono del mantello (The gift of the cloak), Sando Botticelli (1445) La Primavera (Spring), Leonardo da Vinci (1452) Ultima Cena (Last Supper), Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475) Cappella Sistina (Sistine Chapel), Raffaello Sanzio (1483) La Scuola di Atene (School of Athens), Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526) Il Bibliotecario (Librarian), Caravaggio (1571) La Canestra (The Basket) Artemisia Gentileschi (1593) Autoritratto (Self portrait), Umberto Boccioni (1882) La strada (The path), Gino Severini (1883) Souvenir de voyage (Souvenier of a trip) Amedeo Modigliani (1884) Ritratto di Jeanne Hebuterne (Portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne), Giorgio de Chirico (1888) La torre rossa (The red tower), Antonio Ligabue (1899) Autoritratto (Self portrait), Renato Guttuso (1911) Tetti di Roma (Roof tops of Rome). At the end of each puzzle, students can read information on the artist of the piece and then answer comprehension questions.
CRUCIVERBA ITALIANO
(AAVV)
Although often misconstrued as a fun and merely pastime activity, the crossword puzzle exercise stimulates activation of various competencies for language learners. In this “Cruciverba” section, the student has access to a mini encyclopedia of “all things Italian”, which covers the following topics: Alpi: tallest mountains - Appennini: tallest mountains - Archipelagos and islands – Basilicas and cathedrals – Most beautiful Italian villages – Castles and fortresses – Lakes – Seas – Palaces – Plains – Famous piazzas – Famous bridges – Regions and capitals – Regions: location, initials for abbreviations – UNESCO world heritage sites – Theaters – Volcanoes Each subject contains information that is revealed only upon completion of the puzzle. The activity allows the student to choose a crossword based on complexity according to size: small, medium, or large. He/she then completes the puzzle by answering horizontal definitions - which in turn reveal the destination, when placed vertically and by consulting the mini encyclopedia. It is basic crossword solving; given the clue, fill in the answers. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it provides a Superciaopedia to help determine the answers. Students may need to consult it repeatedly, and can chose the category of the search to locate the correct response. Superciaopedia contains an extensive collection of photos of the locations in question, reinforcing the concept of culture application for language acquisition. The Cruciverba can be solved individually; printed and sent to the instructor, or, in timed group activities. The 164 puzzles are all characterized by vertical words which are solved by completing the horizontal words.
I PATRIMONI DELL’UMANITÀ IN ITALIA

SCHEDE
ARTE IN VIAGGIO
(Mirtilli Morgana, Federica Protti)
Arte in viaggio is a tool to bring students closer to the Italian culture, capturing those aspects that have a strong educational value, such as the beauty of the artwork or the fascinating mystery of the traces of a lost civilization; it is also an opportunity for effective language learning, because it is mediated by images and situations that stimulate curiosity; it is an opportunity to reflect on the cultural richness that comes from knowing cultures and places that are very different from the one in which one lives. Arte in viaggio, real or virtual, one can capture similarities and differences between cultures of places far away in space and time. The student discovers the Italian artistic heritage through a series of virtual journeys to the most important cities of art that UNESCO has declared a World Heritage Site. Titles: Roma antica, Il Colosseo e il Foro romano - Firenze, Santa Maria del Fiore - Venezia, San Marco e la sua piazza - Pisa, Pizza dei Miracoli e la Torre Pendente - Pompei, tra gli scavi - Siena, Piazza del Campo e i suoi palazzi - Le cinque terre, antichi borghi marinari - Agrigento, la Valle dei Templi - Caserta, la Reggia e i suoi giardini - Milano, l'Ultima cena
ITALIANO SENZA FRONTIERE Online Italian Language and Culture class for High School students
The initiative is rooted in the Superciao a tutti Course and addresses the need for innovative methodology, pedagogy, and evolving technology in the teaching of Italian as a foreign language while adhering to scholastic requirements. It is a fundamental development resulting from changed social conditions and uncertainty of the type of scholastic frequency that the future presently reserves. Our objective is therefore two sided; to respond to the need for change in pedagogy and technology, as well as the needs of teachers working both in class and remotely. The decision to implement “Italiano senza frontiere” in Google Classroom comes as a result of Google Classroom being the platform of choice of countless schools. As teachers worked frantically to reinvent and adapt material to technology, we immediately responded by sustaining and championing them with this course. This is a thorough methodology of teaching which has been validated and used by those same teachers. It consists of didactic units calibrated on communication and the discovery of language structure. And, it can be personalized by teachers, according to individual needs. The work is structured in five levels; level 1-4, each comprising 7 didactic units of study presented in progression of contents and applied language. The fifth level comprises 14 units of study. Each unit proposes: dialogs, readings, exercises, segments on culture, grammar reflections, labs that apply the student autonomously and in groups, and individual unit test. Level 5 promotes language competency and can therefore be used for students working towards the AP exam or those particularly interested in total language learning.

STORIE PER PENSARE
(Mirtilli Morgana, Gabriella Manzoni)
The short stories of this Project stimulate reflection and classroom discussions around ideas and experiences, exploring the narrative text and the social problems they deal with, albeit in a lighter way. The topics cover important and sensitive themes: they are in fact life stories, designed and written to explore the emotions and moods of the protagonists and readers. Each story proposes textual-type linguistic activities and helps students reflect on the language through interactive multimedia activities online. The Project is also accompanied by the book that collects all the Stories and serves to encourage individual reading, beyond any didactic activity, precisely to give everyone the opportunity to think and find ideas for personal reflection in what they read. The stories are short and therefore not too burdensome to read; the language used is rich and full of nuances, but with understandable sentences. Titles: Tonto e Bitonto, gemelli intelligenti - Cucciolo, il bambino che non voleva crescere - Mimì cane di razza - Benvenuto Said! - Un libro sull'albero - Ma quanti siamo a tavola? - Giochi con me? - Svolta a destra continua - H2O a go go - Una bilancia dispari - Quel drone dall'alto - Una casa sotto le stelle - Quel verdone sotto banco - Solo con un fiore - Fuori orario

LINGUA E LETTERATURA ITALIANA DEL '900
(Claudia Boselli, Mirtilli Morgana)
The Project presents the main Italian authors of the twentieth century, through some passages taken from the best known works. The project is based on scrupulous research for significant passages, accompanied by full didactic support with the aim of helping students discover the language through literary texts. The works are grouped in order to focus on: LANGUAGE ANALYSIS AND HISTORY - LANGUAGE STRUCTURE - BASIC LINGUISTIC SKILLS - TEXTUAL AND SEMANTIC ANALYSIS. In turn, each of the four groups includes specific items and is highlighted by as many author's texts. The project is specifically for advanced students who can therefore also do all the proposed activities for reflecting on the language, discovery and synthesis, through a very rich linguistic system. The project also includes the biographies of the authors and some interviews they have given. The online Project is accompanied by an anthology, LETTERATURA ITALIANA DEL ‘900, with many suggested literary passages for reading which go beyond the included lessons, offering students an extra opportunity for independent, personal study.
BOOK (pp 168)
Careful: 18 copies of the book LETTERATURA ITALIANA DEL ‘900 are offered free of charge to those who have purchased the online project, so purchase this book only if you'd like to receive additional copies.
TEATRO A SCUOLA
The online Project: La bella addormentata nel bosco, a story revisited by Roberto Vecchioni, proposes a work path for understanding an author's text and for creating a workshop aimed at organizing a theatrical show, with the individual and group involvement of both teachers and students, focusing on the entire operational and linguistic structure of Italian. In fact, the teaching material proposes organizing and managing a group that transposes the story into a show, with an appropriate script and technical files. Indications are also given for finding materials suitable for the theatrical performance: music and texts, sounds and noises, images, videos, costumes and stage equipment. The numerous worksheets included playfully lead to the discovery of the close connection between the different aspects of Italian studied: language, word, image, and sound, accompanied by activities and exercises. Reflections and references for teaching a foreign language are offered through the theatrical dimension.
LA POESIA: EMOZIONI E PAROLE
(Mirtilli Morgana)
The online Project seeks to bring students closer to the language of poetry, to its metaphors and similes, to the language used in a divergent way that can express and understand moods and emotions. It is not a question of making literary works primarily known, even if this happens implicitly, but of addressing a broad vision of the language that serves not only for communicating everyday life, but also for expressing thoughts. The Project provides a rich linguistic composition that leads the students to discover the possibility, beyond understanding the poetic text, of becoming poets themselves. Activities are also included that directly combine words, images and music in their highest forms, in a consonance of expressions that provide further ideas for work, thought and linguistic reflection. The interactive Project can be a valid tool for overcoming shyness and communication uncertainties.
CANZONI ITALIANE
(Valentina di Lorenzo)
The online Project has the sole purpose of using songs from the classic Italian repertoire to create moments for classroom participation. The rhythms, the music that involves and excites, facilitate memorizing vocabulary, motivating students and supporting their participation. It is a way to bring children closer to poetry, as songs use a different type of language with a connotative use of the lexicon that leads to the creative dimension of language, similar to poetry. On the other hand, the knowledge of a language and a culture also passes through the world of music, which has such an especially large role in the life of children. The songs can also be used beyond completely understanding the text, which can come later: music becomes a facilitating tool for learning a language. Titles: - Canzoni d'amore: Amore bello, Una canzone d'amore, La solitudine - Canzoni Sociali: Domani, Padre madre, C'era un ragazzo che come me - Canzoni dedicate alla mamma: Ciao mamma, Fatti mandare dalla mamma a prendere il latte, Portami a ballare - Canzoni sull'amicizia: L'amico è, L'anno che verrà, Ci vorrebbe un amico

ITALIANOCANTANDO
(Alberto Villa, Sonia Beretta, Gabriella Manzoni)
The Project proposes a series of 21 songs which can be used in class, as they are accompanied by music and the option for Karaoke. Even if presented in a playful way and without rhetoric, the texts have their own educational value when teachers provide input that lead students to reflect. The songs use a lot of grammatical cues in an ironic way, so that students can reflect on the language while having fun with music. The music is lively and engaging and facilitates the learning of texts and words and above all the memorization of vocabulary. The online project includes the ability to download songs and text and includes various didactic activities. It is accompanied by a song book, facilitating singing together even in situations where the audio cannot be played back.

EMOZIONI DELLA MUSICA E DELLE PAROLE
(David Rose)
The Project proposes four pieces of music that lead students to experience special emotions and moods: those of the universal language that engages all, beyond spoken language. The central point of the Project is to create situations and emotions that can precisely arouse thoughts and words to be expressed and shared. The objective is therefore twofold: of artistic-musical development and linguistic study. Students will be able to convey their emotions both through images and words. The following are provided for this purpose: instructions to teachers for improved classroom interactions specific activities for students that foster lexical enrichment and a divergent use of the language. It is a question of using the language not only to communicate the needs of everyday life, but also to incorporate the dimension of art, music and the creative word. Through art and the mental and spiritual openness that it generates, students can approach the Italian language in a very particular and unique way, also deepening specific, technical language.
IL TEATRO DELL’IMPROVVISAZIONE
(Daniel Bellissimo, Massimo Zordan)
The Project goes beyond the simple recitation of a theatrical text, proposing a coherent methodology complementary to the communicative approach in teaching/learning languages and the humanistic-emotional methods which place the students at the center, with their individuality and their emotions. In fact, this workshop is designed for an elementary/intermediate level of language skills and focuses on the use of non-verbal language, emotions and improvisation. The playful perspective generates fun and increases motivation and participation; the creation of a safe space favors language acquisition; non-verbal communication provides useful support when learning a new language; the focus on emotions makes it possible to deepen the vocabulary and linguistic structures, promoting their memorization; the recitation focuses on the prosodic elements of the language; the repetitive structure of certain exercises allows training production skills. In addition to the indications for the teacher, the Project includes materials for the students.
