Subject:      6TH GRADERS ABOUT KIDLINK


The pupils in class 6A at Knarvik elementary school in Norway
have made their answers to 4 questions about the KIDLINK-work.
The students have been working in the KIDLINK-project since
early spring 1991. When they have finnished the 6th grade,
they go to another school for the last 3 years (see answer 4).


I found the answers so positive and interesting that I wanted
to share them with you.



The questions:
--------------
(1)  What is your opinion of the KIDLINK-work?
(2)  What have you got from the KIDLINK-work?
(3)  What have you learned from the KIDLINK-work?
(4)  How do you want the KIDLINK-work to be the next 3 years?


Each student worked out his / her own answers to the four
questions. Then they got together in groups of five students.
The group then worked out an answer where they incorporated
all the different "meanings".
