Our project is about the way to school. At first we think about what we want to do in our project and what we could show our exchange partners that they are not bored. We build some questions and want to ask around the hole school for short answers and than we ask our Indian exchange parterns. Our questions are:

• How long does it take to get to school?

• How do you get to school?

On the first day we went in all classes which were in the school on Monday. This is how we started. After we had noticed every one of the German students we calculate the opportunities in percent. On Tuesday we finished our survey with the Indian students and had now all the results. But we noticed too that some of our students are not in a position to decide for itself and/or choose just one thing...

In that case we started to tinker different vehicles by which the students can get to school on Tuesday. We build a car, a bus, a bicycle and a person who walk to school. It took a long time. But after finishing that we had the plan to make pictures with these things for our presentation on Wednesday evening. Also we wanted to take them into our presentation. We planed that some of the guest should take the vehicles in the order: what is used the most to what is used less. Furthermore we made some pictures for our presentation for showing the percentages from the German students and the Indian exchange partners. For that we spend the hole second day.

On Wednesday we made the last pictures of the real vehicles that we had tinkered and some pictures of a scooter, school crossing guard and a picture on which we are waiting for the bus because we think a school crossing guard and waiting for the bus was a really important fact to the way to school. After we took all these pictures we started to make our power point presentation which we want to show in the evening. We had some problems with the laptop of Ines why we had to change the computer. So we went to the media library and finished it there. After finishing the presentation on power point we split it in five parts and everyone of us choose one of them. We practice our presentation two times and were ready after that. All the time we had a lot of fun and we laugh often.

At the presentation evening on Wednesday we were the first group. Chahatpreet began to say hello to everyone and introduced us. Then Laura explained our survey and what we done the three days before. After that we started our quiz with three volunteers. We requested a German student, a parent and an Indian exchange partner to bring our images in the correct order. Both students were right and the mother was wrong. Tomke show them our results of the most popular and less popular vehicles to go to school. Then Jule explain the differences between the German and Indian students in their time they need to go to school. Ines finished our presentation with the school crossing guard and the waiting for the bus thing and said thank you to all for listening.
