Presentation and discussion of the revised versions of the materials
Everybody in the group presented the „new“ version of the materials and Petr and Nara have brought the „new new“ version.
Comments from the group on the activities
The group have not heard about Ksenia`s piloting, that is why no comments were stated on their behalf.
The group have discussed the „new“ versions of Camelia`s, Piret`s and Petr`s materials.
Suggestions for Camelia: exploiting more the teacher`s notes section.
Suggestions for Piret: rationale needs to be added, Teacher`s notes need to be expanded as for the methodology.
Suggestions for Petr: Teacher`s notes need to be made more explicit. The goals and aims are to be made more explicit.
Suggestions for Nara: more explicit links to the dimension are needed, as well as dividing the materials into segments. There are still possibilities of extending the activities in the Teacher`s notes. Review the introductory part, make it shorter.

Camelia has piloted her own, Piret`s and Nara`s materials and provided the group with the evaluation sheet.
