W've learnt about the historical and present day uses for the rivers, the river life, and the quality of the water.
We've shared our findings through writing, photos and videos that we create throughout the project.
1) Kyiv
Questions:
1. What makes your rivers a good place to visit?
2. What do you do for fish in your rivers (throw rubbish or try to clean it up to create favourable conditions for fish)?
3. What are the most interesting species of fish in your area, do you have any stories connected with them?
2) Kirovohrad
- Tell us about your local rivers.
3. Which rivers in your country are the oldest, the most important and the most beautiful?
4. What do you do to protect them from the pollution?
3) Introduction from Teaneck (New Jersey, USA) + Teaneck Class Survey
Benjamin Franklin Middle School
My students would like to see a video or slide show that includes information about the following topics:
- The local uses of your river –recreation, drinking water, transportation, fishing, cultural celebrations
- The wildlife in and around your river
- The water quality
American students' project
4) Introduction from Tolmin (Slovenia)
We would like participants to explore their rivers and say what their rivers offer to people living near in terms of:
● (pure) drinking water
● source of food
● sports and free time activities
● nature itself: plants and animals
AND
● inspiration to be creative
Participants can focus on ONE bullet point idea/theme or more. If your river is polluted, then we would like you to explain what impact such a river has on life of people with regard to the above ideas.
Get INSPIRED and CREATIVE. Take PICTURES, write POEMS and if you can, do create a »DIGITAL PHOTO ALBUM«.
Questions: ● What do our rivers give us?
● How does that affect our lives?
● Can we see/find beauty of the rivers/water/aquatic life?

Hello, Jordana!
My name is Ira. I am from Kyiv, Ukraine. I like your comment. I like to read fantasy and books about adventures in my free time. I like to read very much. I like watch films, swim and sing, too. My favorite food is spaghetti with cheese, I like pizza and sweets, too. My favorite animals are cat and squirrel. I like parrots, because I have one at home. His name is Karrudo. Have you got any pets? My favorite school subjects are Music and Literatures. I have three good friends and what about you?
jordana_g, Benjamin Franklin Middle School | Mar 19, 2016 1:32pm UTCHey, Ira
Yes, I do have a pet. Its a fish though a really old fish and his name is Speedy. I have also have three good friends.
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Mar 22, 2016 10:29am UTCHi Jordana! I am glad to see your reply! It is interesting to hear about your fish. I'm 13 years old and how old is you? Have you got sisters or brothers? I have sister Olga.
jordana_g, Benjamin Franklin Middle School | Mar 25, 2016 8:03pm UTCHi Ira
Nice to hear you liked my fish. I have two sisters. I am one of triplets. Their names are Gabby and Dominique. I am twelve years old. What TV shows do you like? Do you have a favorite one? And in school what do you like to do at recess time? What classes do you have?
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Mar 29, 2016 2:57pm UTCHi Jordana!
I think it is really cool that you are one of triplets! I always wanted to have friends-twins, and I think triplets are so unusual and fantastic. In fact, I don’t watch TV, because, how say my parents, there is a lot of advertising on TV. But I watch films on the Internet, my favorite films are films about Harry Potter and I like cartoons, too. My favorite cartoon is Rio. Do you watch and like cartoons? In school usually I talk with my classmates or walk around my school at recess time, and what about you? In our gymnasium there are classes from 5 to 11 and I am in 8 class. In what class are you?
jordana_g, Benjamin Franklin Middle School | Apr 03, 2016 11:43pm UTCHey Ira,
Yes I do watch cartoons and I like cartoons too.In school I play with my friends and talk to them, we don't get to walk around the school at recess time because we all have recess at different times. For example, i'm in seventh grade so I have recess in the second half of fifth period and lunch in the first half. This also means other grades have class during that time. Our classes are all over the school and in different marking periods we change from either Health to gym depending on if you had health first you'd have gym and the same thing goors if you had gym first and in the last marking period all classes whether you had gym first or health woould be in the gym. I have 7 classes from 3:20-3:15. the classes I have right now are social studies,band or global concrens,science,french or health,lunch,recess,math,and finally language arts. What cartoons do you watch on the internet? Do you like to play video games? Which video games do you like to play?
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Apr 04, 2016 1:47pm UTCHi Jordana,
It is interesting to hear about your school life. A lot of things in our school are other. All school have lessons and recess in the same time, but younger students have fewer lessons. I have 7 lessons every day. And about cartoons, I watch a lot of different ones, I like Disney’s and Dream Works’ cartoons. I like to play video games. I like to play Minecraft (like you) and Subway surfers. What is your favorite color? How far do you live from your school?
jordana_g, Benjamin Franklin Middle School | Apr 04, 2016 10:24pm UTCHey Ira,
Im glad to here about your interests. My favorite color is purple and I live about 5-10mins away from my school while in a car I don't know how many walking because i've never walked to school before. But anyway what's your favorite color? How far away do you live from your school?What language do speak other than english?Do you play an sports?Do you play an instruments?
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Apr 12, 2016 1:07pm UTCHi Jordana,
It is funny, but my favorite color is purple too and I live about 5-10 minutes away from my school (I always walk). I speak Ukrainian and Russian languages at home and in school. What language do you speak except English? I play sports only on PT lessons. Recently, I have started playing toy xylophone, and I play it every evening without any teacher. And do you play any sports and instruments?
I want to tell you about my favorite river. My favorite river is Zbruch. I have done a presentation about it to English lesson. You can watch it here . What is your favorite river?

And yes I do have minecraft but its the pe version of minecraft and the servers I play on aren't that bad but the hypixel server we have is still a work in progress.

Hey Ira,
Yes I do play instruments,I actually play the clarinet and I am learning the guitar on my own and piano I am getting lessons for. I used to do sports like swimming, and fencing but we didn't sign up this year. And a language I speak other than english is french and my sister is learning spanish so one day we can teach each other. I liked your presentation, but I actually don't have a favorite river because all the rivers I've went to are too poluted to actually enjoy but if I did have a favorite river it probably be the hudson river because its really big and you can see the city from there.

ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Apr 15, 2016 2:39pm UTCHi Jordana,
I think it is very interesting that you play 3 instruments and do fencing! I want to play piano very much. It is sad that all rivers where you went are polluted. We have a lot of clean and beautiful rivers in Ukraine. I wanted to ask but have forgotten, on what subject are your class and you talk with us and with which teacher? Can you write to me only at school or at home too? Are your sisters in the same form with you?
jordana_g, Benjamin Franklin Middle School | Apr 15, 2016 4:58pm UTCHey Ira,
The subject our class talks to you is actually a secondary class that isn't needed in the system,but its called "Global Concerns," and the teacher is Ms.Gorant. And I can write at school or at home. Also, only one sister is on the same form and in the same period class as me.
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Apr 18, 2016 1:37pm UTCHi Jordana,
Thank you for your reply. Our class talks to you on English lessons and at home. Can you tell me what is “Global Concerns” and what are you doing there? Is your class going to do projects about favorite rivers?

Hey Ira,
Its nice you relpied, and "Golbal Concerns is a class that I chose that focuses on learning about problems around the global and connecting to countries we can.What we do here is a lot of online lessons, videos, and, activites that strengthen our knowledge about the world around us. Our class has already done a poster on rivers, but not our favorite rivers.
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Apr 25, 2016 2:02pm UTCHi Jordana,
I saw your pictures, they are unusual and interesting. Thank you for your explanation about Global Conerns. We haven't got similar subjects in our school. We works with videos and online lessons only on English lessons. Also there we talk about the environment and global problems when we learn this topic. How many subjects have you learn at school? How many lessons do you have every day and how long they are?
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | May 06, 2016 1:56pm UTCHi Jordana,
We have watched your presentation about Hackensack River. Thank you, it is cool, I liked it. I found out a lot of interesting information about this river. I did not hear about Hackensack River before. Have you ever been near this river? Did you swim in it? Do you like Hackensack River?

I like them very much. What is your favorite author? I don’t watch shows and all TV programs, because my parents say that there are a lot of advertising there. When I am bored I like to read or paint, and you? I think, I haven’t got a favorite superhero. I am 13 and I am in the 8 grade. What is your favorite film and cartoon? Do you like to listen music? I like to talk with you, too.

I love The cartoon Tom and Jerry, and I like lots of films, I can't pick one film! What about you, what is your favorite cartoon and film? Nice talking to you again Ira!!

I don't live that far from my school, maybe like 10 minutes to walk, but like 5 minutes to have my parents drop me off at my school! How about you, do you walk or get dropped off when you go to school?
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | Apr 27, 2016 1:26pm UTCHi Shifa,
Yes, I study to play one music instrument- a toy xylophone. I play it every evening without any teacher. Thank you that you liked my work. What is your favorite river? I live 10 minutes to walk from my school, too! And I always walk to school. I wanted to ask, why do you always write splats at the end of every sentence? Do you not have a point on your keyboard :)) ?
shifa_b, Benjamin Franklin Middle School | May 02, 2016 3:54pm UTCReply to Comment
HI IRA!! I don't have a favorite river. I think all rivers are beautiful and unique in there own way. Its the people who ruin rivers :( We are very alike! I think its cool you play an insturment on your own time as a hobby! If you could play any other insturment besides the one you are currently playing, what insturment would you play? Also what is your dream job? My dream job is something that involves animals like a zoo keeper, vet, or even a groomer! I don't know what you mean by splats after my sentences, but we do have points on our keyboards! Talk to you again later!
ira_matviienko, Troyeshchyna" gymnasium | May 03, 2016 7:17am UTCHi Shifa!
That was a joke about splats. Yes, it is sad that people destroy river’s beauty. I want to play piano very much, and do you want to play any instrument? I had a lot of dream jobs when I was small. I wanted to be a singer, a cook, a painter and a teacher. I wanted to be a vet too, like you. Now I think my dream job is programmer. Have you wanted to work with animals all the time or you wanted to be someone else when you was small? You are great companion, I like to talk with you!

HI Ira! I can play the piano a little. In my music class, my music teacher taught us how to play a little bit of piano. I want to play a guitar, it looks fun, I do have a guitar, and io just play around with it! :) You want to be a programmer, thats awesome! You follow your dreams! I always wanted to be a vet or a wreslter or softball player! Thanks about the sweet compliments about the presentation! I saw yours too, it was cool! I do not swim in the Hackensack River. I have been to a river and lake up close, so close that i got to put my feet in the water! What is your favorite holiday? When is your birthday? Also, my cat recently had kittens. They are so cute and fluffy! You are also an amazing person to talk too. Hope we keep up the conversation. Talk to you later!
