Hello, dear participants of our common "LAND",

It’s time to start our work. The task you are welcome to create and submit to http://klab.lv/users/latnorland/ is as follows: You are two groups participating- Norwegians and Latvians.

Stage 1

Write, please, how you imagine your partners' country- lifestyle, location, climate, nature, culture, sport, people, some stereotypes etc.) Mind! No "googling", please. Use your knowledge, imagination, expectations... Do not worry if you think your knowledge might not be perfect! This is we are here to get to know both- our countries, schools, each other! )

Submit your writings using the button: "Leave a comment". As you are not registered members of that blog, do not forget to sign your name, otherwise your writing will appear as anonymous. Do not hesitate to ask whether to Ms Ewa or me whenever you need our help or support.

Stage 2

 Choose one blog (writing) from your partner's team, read it and, using button "Reply", comment on your peer's writing. Agree with him/her, disagree, and, finally, tell a little about your country and yourself! Thus we will see if our concepts about Latvia and Norway had been close to reality.

Stage 3

Your expectations (concepts) from the stage 1and your comments from the stage 2 will be published at etwinning website- Twin-space.

The deadline is set of almost 2 weeks - 5th May.  Try to meet it, please!

 Good luck!

Your administrator of the blog - Gundega.

P. S. 200-250 words (about 3 paragraphs) would be welcome...

  Norwegian literature: our greatest, world-famous writers are Henrik Ibsen and Knut Hamsun. Have you learnt anything about them in your literature classes?
  
  Music: Haven`t you heard about our famous pop-band, a-ha?

        I’m interest in Latvian folk music, but if you like to use internet, then visit website youtube.com and try to find video with title “es redzeju rigas pili” and then you can hear Latvian folk music and see our folkdances. Personally I really love watch folkdances.
        Our films are little cheerless, but it’s because all Latvian films are based on real life situations. But our literati are really great. At least I think so. Like Rainis, Aspazija. I guess you haven’t heard about them, right? So, what else you want know?
