On Thursday 26th April 2013 the students of Nea Karya Primary School visited the location of the Old Village. Since we had studied the local historical maps the students were given the chance to actually see the place they were studying about. It was a great opportunity for them to explore the location that they usually visit but from a different point of view. Having as guides two local elder people, we were guided around the river bed and we found where the village church was built (only the stairs have left), we found where the square,the municipality and the school of the village were located. There is nothing left now as the village was destroyed by the big flood of Nestos River in 1945.
"The young time travelers of history” is an eTwinning project in which students handle local history issues with an alternative and creative way, such as using cooperative creative writing, cooperative drawing, brainstorming, brainwriting, "the six hats of thinking", role playing etc.The final product is a fictious story based on historical events written by all partner schools in common.

The start of our common story! (Nea Karya Primary School, Greece)
The students
of Nea Karya Primary School, having already chosen the appropriate historical
records, they have already started the process of writing their story, for
which we are going to use and experiment on techniques on creative writing.
The first
stage is to define the characteristics of the heroes’ personality. At first the
groups distributed their heroes. They wrote his or her name on a piece of paper
and then by using the brainwriting technique they found his or her individual
characteristics. At the end of the procedure each group presented their work at
the whole class.
Now we are
ready to move forward to the pre-writing stage.
