As the inspection by the Air Force ended, I watched my officer take off, piloting his own aircraft. But
instead of accelerating, he slowed to a stop. I waited anxiously, convinced he would return and catch me off
guard.

grass by the side of the runway. He removed his cap, resplendent with gold braid and proceeded to fill it-

Next came Robert. “My dad is a banker, b-a-n-k-e-r, and if he were here, he would give each of you 10
pounds.”
Third came Jimmy. “My dad is an electrician”. But after struggling through a number of attempts to
spell the word, the teacher asked him to sit and think about it for a moment while she called on someone
else. She then turned to little Johnny.
“My dad is a bookmaker, b-o-o-k-m-a-k-e-r, Johnny said: “ And if he were here, he would lay you
odds of eight-to five that Jimmy cannot spell electrician.

Olivia is a volunteer at the animal shelter and her best friend is a fish, Barry.
One day she thought of taking Barry with her, so she put it into a bag on a plate and then she left. A parrot
walking around the room saw it and pounced on it. He grabbed the bag with his claws, lifting it and flying
with it through the building. At one point, the bag broke and the fish landed somewhere on the ground. When
Olivia saw that Barry was no longer in his place she started to be worried about and she was searching for it.
After a while she began to give up and accepted that she had lost Barry, but right then, at that moment she
saw it swimming in a bowl of water. The bad luck was that a dog wanted to drink water and, not seeing the
fish, he swallowed it. Olivia ran to him and began to put her hands in his mouth to get Barry out. Luckily for
her, Barry was stuck on the dog's neck so after a minute the dog coughed and the fish managed to come out.
After that incident, Olivia never took Barry to the shelter again. All is well when it ends well!

This is John’s first time in a big city. He always gets laughed at for having such a red nose and
colorful hair. Wait - but that’s his job! John is a clown working at one of the most prestigious circuses in the
whole of New York, and not any clown, an aquatic clown! His partner, Nemo is a grey bass, one of the biggest
in the Atlantic Ocean, his intelligence exceeds what the scientists think.
John is late for the show and here he is rushing on stage with Nemo in his small aquarium. BANG! The
aquarium smashes on the hard floor. In a moment of desperation John takes the fish and places him in his
mouth.
The vanishing of Nemo upsets the public who’ve grown quite fond of the little fish. The public loves Nemo
so much that the whole show went on without any applauses. The final stunt is a jump through three rings into
a small pool filled with water, and the worst part is that John is the one that has to perform it. John starts
running and leaps through the first ring, but before he knows it, the fish manages to escape John through his
nose, going through the last two rings, the fish drops in the pool. This amazes the people who start clapping
minutes in a row. Everybody is happy in the end!

It was a normal day in the Blue Kingdom, one of the most beautiful under water kingdoms, where a
lot of animals lived. Jack and Ariel were two fish that were always looking for new friends and loved to play.
They were thinking of a good plan to defeat Nemo and Dory in the prank war between the four of them.
This time Jack and Ariel decided to make a prank on a teacher. They thought this was the perfect way
to win this competition. Everything was prepared; they were going to make a prank on Miss Coral, one of their
mermaid teachers.
Once they arrived at school and the teacher entered the classroom they offered her a cookie. But Miss
Carol didn’t know it was made from food for octopus so when she tasted it, her body color instantly changed.
From a bright yellow she had turned into dark red, everyone started laughing. Jack and Ariel were scolded by
the teacher and their parents and they understood that it is not good to do such a thing and that respect is
essential in our life, but they won the prank war.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, Jack, who lived with his mum and grandma in an old, small
house. Jack was very sad because his mum was very sick and he didn’t know how to help her. One morning
he decided to go fishing by the river. He was waiting for several hours when suddenly he caught a small fish.
He was so happy for a moment, but then he realised that the fish had his fin broken and was in great pains.
Jack put the fish in his bucket and took him home. He filled his large fish tank with fresh water and let the
fish swim slowly there. Jack took good care of the fish and soon they became friends. He shared with the
fish all his sorrows and joys.
Day by day the fish became more and more energetic and his fin was gradually healing up. By the
time the fish was better, as a miracle, Jack’s mother’s health improved. One day, the fish told Jack that he

48
missed his family and he would love to go back to the river. Jack was very sad because the fish has become a
real friend and he didn’t want the fish to move apart.
However, he realised that the fish could not be happy in a fish tank and he brought the fish back to
the river. The fish promised Jack that he would come to the bank of the river every morning to meet the boy
and talk as they used to do.
Jack and the fish have been inseparable since then and they still meet by the river every morning.

Once upon a time, there was a happy family made from three people.
One day the boy said he wanted a pet. His parents decided to buy him a fish, so they went to the pet
shop where they found a little yellow fish. They bought it with love, but what they didn't know was that the
fish was a magical one. One morning, the family wanted to take a picture of the new member in the bathroom.
Suddenly the fish jumped on the edge of the aquarium and talked. Scared, the father threw the aquarium, and
the fish ended up in the toilet. A few minutes later the fish woke up on land, but one thing was strange. The
fish could breathe on land and in a few minutes it grew hands and feet. It's been a difficult journey, having no
food and being a strange creature. Through his affair he encountered many troubles for example: He fell with
his face down in the dung.
Eventually the journey is over, finding the adoptive family. They accepted him fondly even though it
was no longer what they had bought.

Once upon a time, in the wonderful deep blue sea, Figo the Symphysodon lived peacefully with his
family, running between colorful corals and stones with his siblings, making the best of life!
But one time, when Figo was supposed to visit his grandma, on the other side of the coral reef, disaster
struck…his grandma, was kidnapped! There was a bunch of clownfish police officers and lionfish detectives,
but nobody knew what happened. She was loved by the entire community, children were obsessed with her
coral cookies and loved to see her knit lively scarfs. Figo knew something was wrong, but he was too young
to be heard, so he did the inexplicable, he started to look for evidence, began to analyse every move and
location where she was last seen, and places she often visited.
Around midnight, he found a lead! He quickly got into his dad’s car and drove there as fast as possible.
There was an abandoned house, and he heard cries, so he thought that the best move is to call the police and
enter with caution. He got down to the basement and there she was, Scarlett the Symphysodon, alive and safe.
The police finally came and rescued them, and found the culprit, William the Hammer Shark. Now, that Figo
is old and has a family of his own, he tells this funny story to his children, Figo the Hero! It sounds fitting.
PINGO, A FUNNY FISH
Ghiojdoiu Felicia, cls. a VII- a
Prof. coord. : Dan Corina
This is the story of an unusual fish named Pingo. Pingo lived under the sea in the Pacific Ocean
surrounded by his friends and family. But he was known as the bad guy of the group. He never listened to
anyone and did only the things that made him happy or gave him pleasure, not thinking about other fish.
Despite that, he had a lot of friends who were kind and good, the total opposite of him. Pingo was
also very smart, but he never showed that because he thought that his friends will think that he is a nerd because
they weren’t the smartest fish in the sea. Pingo liked to think about ingenious pranks and prank other fish. He
liked seeing them struggling to find who fooled them.
One day, something terrible happened to Pingo. He was hanging out with some of his friends,
when his dad called him.
“Pingo, come here immediately!“ He already knew that something bad happened and he was going to have
another fight with his father. Pingo was a little bit embarrassed because the argument he had with his dad was
going to take place in front of his friends.
“What’s up, dad?” Pingo asked.
“Don’t act like you don’t know why I came here. Don’t you think that the way you pranked your sister was
too much?”
“But how did you know it was me?”

50
“Oh, come on, no fish could possibly come up with that idea. You made her go crazy and she’s only half your
age.”
“I’m sorry, okay? It’s not going to happen again.” Pingo said to his father, but we all know that he didn’t
mean that.
“You know what? I’m sick of your little pranks and all the evil of yours and I’m sure that I’m not the only
one who is tired of your ideas. Pingo, you’re grounded, you’re no longer allowed to go out and you’re no
longer allowed to prank anyone ever”
“But dad, this isn’t fair. Just because of one innocent prank I’m no longer allowed to do anything else? Why
do you think I prank you? This is the only fun I have because no fish from this group is smart enough to
understand me.”
After this, Pingo started to swim very fast, far away from the other fish. He could hear his father
calling him, but it was not helping, Pingo was already gone. Pingo went and hid in a small cave only knew by
him. He never brought any of his friends here. This was his private place. He was going there when he needed
some time for himself to relax when he couldn’t stand his friends or his father anymore. Suddenly he heard a
voice, so he went to check where the voice came from. At the bottom of the cave stood a very old fish.
“Hello!” Pingo said. He was a little bit scared because no one usually comes there.
“I can see that you’re upset young man. What happened to you my dear?” the other fish asked.
“It’s none of your business. I just had an argument with my father and I came here to clear my thoughts. What
are you doing here anyway?”
“I usually come here when I want to be alone just like you. Why don’t you tell me what’s going on with you?
You can tell me all your problems if you want, but after all, I’m just a stranger who doesn’t know you”
“I guess you’re right. Well, I like to prank other fish. This is the only thing that brings me joy. I pranked my
sister and she couldn’t keep her filthy little mouth shut, so she told my father. Then, my dad came to me while
I was hanging out with my friends and started an argument and now I’m grounded.”
“You know, you can go to the surface of the ocean if you want, just go and swim a bit, and then you can come
home and figure things out with your father, but be careful. I guess this is your first time going up there and
it’s very dangerous,” the old fish said.
“That’s actually a good idea and I’ll keep in mind what you said, thank you!” Pingo said and left.
He swam and swam till he arrived the destination. On his way there, Pingo was fascinated by the views and
by the other creatures that he never seen before.
At some point, something shiny caught his attention. Pingo has always been very curious, so he went to that
thing and tried to catch it, but little did he know that this was actually a fishing hook.
He heard about fishman many times from other fish who were caught by them, but somehow they escaped.
Pingo knew that the only way to escape was to prank the fishman. This was the only thing that he was good
at. Despite that his dad told him to not prank anyone ever again, this was an exception.
When he was pulled to the surface Pingo had his plan in mind.

51
The fishman was old and he couldn’t see very well. At that moment, the old man believed that he wasn’t
hearing well when Pingo spoke to him.
“Good afternoon good sir!” Pingo said. “It seems like you’re enjoying your time fishing”
The fisherman could not belive what he just heard. Finally he understood that the one who was talking was
the fish.
“I’m not the goldfish as you can see, but I am a magical fish and I can make all of your desires come true.”
“This is not possible, no fish can talk and more than that, no fish can make any desire come true. And if it is
the way you say, I do not have any desires.”
“Oh, for God’ sake, from all of the fishman I got this one. Perfect! How can I escape now?” Pingo thought.
“You don’t want anything at all? I can offer you money, gold, youth and much more.”
“I don’t need any of that. I’m very pleased with my life. If I think about it, you need something. Freedom, am
I right?
Pingo thought that it was no use to prank the fishman and decided to talk to him honestly.
“Look, I am not a magic fish and I can’t make your wishes come true. I am just a normal fish.”
“Since when did normal fish talk, may I ask?”
“Okay, not that normal, but you got the idea. All I want now is to go back to my family and apologize to
them.”
“What did you do to them?”
Pingo started to tell the fishman his story.
“Okay. Let me see if I understand. So you think that you’re smarter than other fish so you prank them, am I
right?”
“Yes” Pingo said.
“If you think you’re so smart and you want me to let you go, you have to answer to three riddles.”
Pingo accepted the challenge.
“The first riddle for you is: what goes through water without getting wet?”
Pingo had no idea.
“This is not possible. Nothing can go through water without getting wet.” Pingo said.
“Look carefully around you.” The old man said.
The fish looked around him but nothing seemed to be the answer to the man’s question. Suddenly he saw the
moon shining in the water. That’s when he realized that the answer was the moon. The reflection of it shows
up on the water, but it’s not getting wet.
“The moon, the answer is the moon” Pingo said proud of himself. “I’m sure I can respond to the last two
riddles too.”
“That is correct” the fishman said. “The second riddle is: they show up at night, without you calling them, they
go away when it’s light without you stealing them.”
“Oh, this is actually an easy riddle” Pingo thought. “The first riddle was about the moon, I think the second
one has something to do with the space too. So the moon shows up at night and disappears when it’s light, but

52
then the night comes, the stars show up too and they also disappear when it’s light, so the answer has to be the
stars.” Pingo said.
Because the first two riddles seemed easy for the fish, the man thought that the last one should be harder.
“This is also correct. The last riddle is: what can you keep after giving to someone?”
“This one is very hard. “ Pingo said.
“Think about it, it’s not that hard. It’s something that I gave you, that’s all I can tell you.” The fishman said
to Pingo giving him a clue to the last and the hardest riddle.
“You didn’t give me anything, you just promised me that you will let me go if I answer to your riddles.” and
that’s when Pingo got the idea.
“I know! The answer is your word. You promised me that you will let me go and that means that you gave me
your word, am I right?”
“Yes, you’re right. Your answer is correct. You are indeed very smart and as I told you, I’m going to let you
go since you answered all the riddles correctly. You can go.”
“Thank you, sir! I’m very grateful for that. I hope you have a great life because you are a good man.” And
after that, Pingo jumped in the ocean.
He swam as fast as he could to get back home faster.
When he arrived home, his father was waiting for him.
“Pingo, where were you? We’ve been looking for you all day. We were so worried”
“Please don’t be upset, I will tell you everything that happened in the last few hours, but first I need to
apologize to you. I shouldn’t have been acting that way, I’m sorry for the things I’ve said and for the trouble
that I’d caused. I promised that I will not fool anyone else from now on.”
After this incident, Pingo used his intelligence to always do good things. He never pranked anyone again and
became a better fish.
THE FUNNY STORY OF A FISH
Gligor Amalia, Cls. a VII-a,
It was a rainy summer day. The beautiful smell of summer was everywhere, but I was bored. I had
nothing to do ... my friends were gone to their grandparents or to the sea, so I came up with a great idea. I went
to the pet store with my parents to get a small animal.
Arriving there I noticed a lot of types of animals: small, large, medium. I was looking at the sea
animals when suddenly I saw a golden fish with light pink details, and the wings were large but wavy. I loved
it at once. My parents agreed, so I bought her a fish house and named her Emily.

53
While I was in the car, I looked at her and saw that she was no longer breathing and that she
looked dead. I was scared and showed this to my parents. Then I stopped the car and took the fish in my hand,
and what did I see ?! SHE WAS ALIVE. Emily is a trained fish, and this "death" game is her favorite. Ohhh,
what a charlatan fish!!!

Swimming is therapeutic, scientifically. Erik agrees with this assertion, leastways. That's why, on a
Sabbath (ironically overlapping with some holiday he's indifferent when he comes to visit the Kozhanovskoe
Lake, decision his CCTV-like neighbours label oversight. He's Russian, he knows what he's doing.
Shortly after, Erik's straddling the pond, already short-winded from dodging multifarious trespasser
traps, forever the daredevil. Keen to dangerously descending, an unfamiliar shiver encapsulates him,
challenging his confidence, though he'd never concede to that jiff of fear. Yet. He touches the cold bayou
headfirst, that previous moment becoming victorious before the newborn never-ending, out-of-body terror.
Erik feels his lungs wane, and he blames it on the laps he had to run to reach the lake, but only for a nanosecond
before he recognizes none but the scarcity of vapors afore his mouth, until he cannot breathe or think.
Had he believed that momentary insecurity, or had he gained consideration, he wouldn't have
to feel himself be swallowed. Literally. He wouldn't be lured in with a frequency so low, nobody could've
handled, then achieve suicide through the teeth of some mischievous bycatch. Had it been a human, or a

We are in the year 2020, the year in which the pandemic started. We can only go outside to do
important stuff, like going shopping, taking the trash out, walking our pets etc. I haven’t left the house in
almost a month and I felt horrible.
I have a goldfish as a pet. His name is Bob. I have had Bob as a pet for about four months and from
the moment I got him, he did not leave the house. Goldfish don’t need to be taken outside and they probably
don’t want to do it either.

54
One day, I had an idea. We were allowed to go outside to walk our pets, so why don’t I just take my
fish out for a walk? It was a weird idea, but desperate people do desperate things, so I got Bob, I put him in a
small bowl and I fixed the bowl to my old remote controlled car with tape.
I walked around for a few seconds and everyone started laughing at me and Bob, so I decided to go
back home and never do this again.

I was swimming happily in the sea, searching for food and looking for my friends when, suddenly
I got stuck in something. I wasn `t scared at first because somehow I was carried by something. It was full of
water but I couldn`t get out of it. That thing I was in began to move very fast and I found myself floating on
the surface of the sea. Wow! I could see humans splashing in the water, throwing balls and bottles and not
noticing me.
It was a great adventure on my own, because I had to meet these humans and tell them to be
more careful with plastic in general, because it hurts us. While speaking to myself someone grabbed me and
threw me away and I landed on the beach in front of a little boy. He started laughing and took me to water
immediately, telling me that we were going to be best friends from now on and help one another. We played
together for a while because I was willing to be more friendly to this boy since he was such a caring young
fellow and that made me think positive of our future.

Could you imagine someone living in an Aqua Park ? Yeah, me neither.
Jim is an interesting fish, he travels a lot, but his home is Ocean Expo Park from Okinawa, Japan. He adores
his place, his neighbours are polite and funny so they usually have a good time together. There are also a lot
of people who appreciate and respect his work.
He feels really thankful for everything he gets. Many people watch him perform and reward the moves
he makes by giving him food and gifts but one day, during a performance , he met a naughty boy who tried to
kidnapp him. He struggled to escape and made fast moves in the water, but the boy did not quit his actions so

55
Jim decided to act immediately and made a fantastic jump splashing water around him so everybody turned to
see what was happening while the boy quickly dissapeared.
He likes living in the water because... that's the life of a fish!
ZOE - A CIRCUS ACROBAT
Puscau Maria
Hi! My name is Zoe and I'm a circus acrobat. I don't think you expect this but I'm also a fish. If you
are wondering how I became an acrobat, I'm going to tell you.
It was a lovely day under the sea. I was going to meet my friend Goldie when someone cought me. If you ask
me why I was cought in the fishing rod, the thruth is I was hungry (by the way, I'm always hungry). Then I
saw a big creature with something weird on his face. No one was there to save me.
After the man got me out of water he put me in something simillar to a box.The strange thing was
that I could understand him, but he didn't understand me, and this was very annoying. Anyway, he took me to
a place named circus and a man with a big red nose and crazy hair took me.
”Jump!" said the man with the red nose, showing me a circle. I jumped and I really liked it.Then I strated
doing circles in the air and then ... the big day came, when I had to do this in front of hundreds of people.They
enjoyed it and clapped thier hands for me.
I like being an acrobat but I really miss my undewater life and I hope I’ll return to my family soon.
A FUNNY STORY WITH A FISH
Seician Darius, cls. a VII-a
One fine day, Jack's parents thought of surprising him by buying him a goldfish. He gladly
immediately gave her a name, Flappy. Because the boy was a bit careless and restless, unfortunately the fish
died. His parents knowing that if the boy found out would be devastated, they decided to buy him another one
as if nothing had happened. This procedure was repeated several times until there were no more fish in the
store. The boy's father was sad because he could not find a fish until he found a street shop that apparently had

56
a more special fish. You stopped thinking about it and bought it, put it in the aquarium at home as if nothing
had happened, and the boy started playing with it, but this fish was special, it memorized various tricks and
could make the dead.
One day the boy decided to get Flappy to do the dead to fool his parents, but the plan did not go well,
the boy's father finding him too early thought he was dead and threw him in the toilet. Then the boy noticed
that Flappy had disappeared and his parents told him everything, and he was very sad. But it so happened that
the fish reached the ocean where a skilled fisherman caught him and this fisherman also owned the street shop.
Acknowledging the fisherman, he immediately returned it to the boy and his smile returned to him, seeing that
he was with his good friend Flappy again.

The story of a fish
Ben was an orange fish, that lived in the aquarium of a British family. Although he was always alone,
every time Emy, the youngest in the family, came from the school the aquarium was exploding with Ben’s
happiness of seeing her.
Emy and Ben, were best friends for over ten years, since the girl’s 6th birthday, when Ben was her gift.
Although Emy didn’t have much time to play with him, because she was busy with plenty of homework, she
made time to spend with him. Over the time, Ben, it wasn’t the same as it used to be, it was getting older,
which saddened Emy more and more.
One day when Ben was feeling worse and worse, Emy and her family have decided to go to the sea
to let Ben go in the water along with hundreds and thousands of fish. When they reached the water’s edge,
they let go of Ben, who to their surprise was happier than ever.
So Emy and little Ben, even though they couldn’t see each other anymore, remained best friends
forever.
Cherish your friend and enjoy every moment, because time passes very fast!!!

In the Black Sea, there was living a fish that liked to make fun of fishermen, destroying their traps in some
funny ways. One day, the best fisherman in the country heard about the fish, so he went to the sea for catching
it, or if he was unlucky, just the other fish.

57
In the morning, the fish broke all the nets where were caught fish and replaced them with rocks. When
the fisherman found, it was angry. At noon, the fish replaced all the baits from the hooks with some old shoes
and the fisherman became even angrier.But in the evening, the fisherman used a trap that was attracting all the
fish from the ocean and the fish couldn't do anything to stop it. The fisherman finnally caught the fish, so he
was putting happy the fish in the bucket, when suddenly... from the sea... just jumped an electric eel, that was
saved a long time ago by the fish when it was captured in a nest. The electric eel jumped into the fisherman,
electrocuting him and it let all the fish to swim away.
From that day, no one fished in that region of the sea!

NOT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD
This is a well known proverb in all the world and it is like a principle of life that everyone should use
as a guidance. In my opinion this reffers to the fact that not everyting that is beautiful, that glitters it is valuable
or has a major importance in life. We should not guide our life in search of ”gold” we must be content and
satisfied with what we receive from our work.
It is not wrong to have big dreams, and do it all in pursuit of them but when we get there we must
see the real value of things and their impact on our lives. Having ambitions in life means being a strong person
because in the fight to reach them you get strong but on this way you must not forget to be focused and not
get distracted by glittering things that shine beautifully and just that.
When we are little our parents teach us that we must not judge a person by his appearance or a thing
by its packaging. I think that this is similar to the saying above, a person value does not stand in his appearance
or a thing is valuable not by its package but by its use in our life.
This is a lesson that we also receive in school when we see examples of children that chase big marks but
when they have an important exam they get poor grades. This happens because they forget the essence of
learning, that of understanding information not just memorizing it. Thus they just take as gold all that glitters.
Not All that Glitters is Gold
Dragomir Cristina, cls. a VIII-a
Prof.coord. : Memet Nurten
Scoala:Gimnaziala,, Spiru Haret” Medgidia
The way I see life
Gold is a precious metal, often symbolized by sparkling because it is expensive. It is also very often
mistaken with non-precious metals, such as pyrite, often referred to as fool’s gold. Being fairly similar, the
shiny rock can be mistaken with the shiny precious metal.
People can be an exemple, too. Some of them try to impress by beautiful words, which prove in time
to be lies, only pretty lies.Words without solid foundation, told to a kid, for example, could change his way of
thinking. He can understand that he is very good for example, at music. But he does not have talent, voice or
something in common with music.What I want to say is that being honest is the best choice in life. Why do we

60
have to pretend sometimes that we are different? To prove what? This is my inevitable question for everyone.
Lies can lead to chain reactions, often ending not only badly, but also tragic. As the saying goes: ”So come
my soul to bliss as I speak true.”
Not All That Glitters Is Gold
Muntean Adelina, clasa a VIII-a
Prof. Coordonator: Ciolan Lenuța
I believe that not all that glitters is gold. This aphorism means that some things or people or places are
not as good or precious or true as they appear to be. Some things seem to be valuable on the surface, but when
you look at them closely, you realize they are not.
Last summer my family and I went to the Italian seaside for the first time. I searched for information
on the Internet and I could read some very nice reviews. I thought it would be such a beautiful place, just
perfect for us, but when we arrived there things did not look so bright. There were too many people, loud
music, unpleasant smells, dirty hotel rooms and, on top of that, it was extremely hot. We didn’t enjoy our
holiday there and we could hardly wait to come back. We expected to have a nice time in Italy, but it was
exactly the other way round. We were very excited to go there, but we came back home disappointed.
One thing I have learnt is that we must be happy with the things we have and that many attractive
or alluring things have no value. Not everything that seems good is actually good. All that glitters is definitely
not gold.

The Secrets of FICTION – Collaboration, Grit and Resilience in Online Projects
Prof. Apostol Nicoleta
The online classes have altered, to a smaller or higher degree, the educators’ approach to the teaching
and learning process. Whether we like it or not, online learning has become a common educational tool during
this pandemic period and both teachers and students have had to find ways of coping with this less familiar
teaching-learning environment.
There have been several challenges regarding the materials used during the online classes and the main
difficulty, from our point of view, has been the search of materials accompanied by their adjustments to the
students’ age, interests, level of competence and learning needs. The next step in using the materials in the
online classes meant combining various teaching methods or revising traditional methods of learning so that
the materials are integrated in the most effective way during the lessons. The selection of materials and the
method analysis requires time and close attention to the links between the competences to be developed and
the paths chosen to reach the established goals. Looking back on the online lessons, it seems as if we have
been doing experiments from one week to another or from one lesson to another, considering that small
alterations have occurred throughout the whole year process of teaching and learning online.
One of the methods that appear to have been the most fruitful for the high school students has been the
group projects. Despite the wonderful results gained at the end of the projects, students have encountered a
wide range of obstacles and the presentation of the project has also become an opportunity to reflect on the
entire working process.
Students from the eleventh grade had to create a project with the title The Secrets of Fiction as part of
the cross-curricular sphere of study. The core material for this project has been an article from the coursebook

65
Gateway B2+, which discusses some key elements involved in reading fiction. Students were given the article
and the key points that had to be included in their Power Point presentation. Students were divided into groups
of four. They were also given the scheme and the deadline for their presentation. They had two weeks to finish
their projects.
The project scheme included the following:
PROJECT TITLE: The Secrets of Fiction
DISPLAY: Power Point Presentation
BIBLIOGRAPHY: an article from Gateway B2+ about the secrets of fiction, online dictionaries and resources
on the given topic
PROJECT STRUCTURE:
1. School name, project title, a favourite quote from a book
2. Group name, members’ names accompanied by an adjective describing each one
3. Selection and order of the ideas regarding the topic given
4. Selection of representative images for the ideas chosen at the previous stage
5. Presentation of interesting/unknown words/expressions encountered while writing the ideas above
– the words/ expressions could be explain through a synonym, a definition or a picture
6. Conclusion to the ideas included in the project
7. Feedback regarding your group work – How did you work? What did each member do? What was
the most interesting/ difficult part of the project? What can you still remember after the end of the project?
EVALUATION GRID
1. Starting slide – school name, project title, quote 10 points
2. Next slide - Group members, adjectives for each member, group name 10 points
3. Making use of the article given – ideas accompanied by images 10 points
4. Explanation of words/ expressions 10 points
5. Mention how the group worked during the completion of the project 10 points
6. Mention each group member’s project tasks 10 points
7. Include the interesting/ difficult part of the project 10 points
8. Project originality – style, approach to the topic, arguments, examples 10 points
9. Language accuracy, grammar and vocabulary 10 points
10. The manner of presenting the project 10 points
TOTAL: 100 points
There were eight groups and each one had a completely different approach to the same project, which
was amazing and surprising for the students themselves. All of them started from a core theme – The Secrets
of Fiction – they consulted the article given, but from that point forward each group took another research
path. The ideas were displayed in various styles, the selected images reflecting the particular understanding of
the topic. What is more, the words and expressions explained depended on their vocabulary level, while the
manner of explaining them highlighted their creativity and way of learning. Perhaps, one of the most

66
challenging parts of the project was the discussion of their group work. In this section, students could compare
their work approach with the others’. They could also notice similarities and differences and distinguish
features regarding their own working strategy.
There were three main elements that had been developed through this project work and they were
closely connected to students’ motivation to learn. Firstly, students had to collaborate in order to complete the
project and this had not been an easy task. Collaboration involved discussing the division of responsibilities,
finding arguments for their views, listening to the others and finding solutions to their opposing views.
Secondly, the project involved having some grit because during the organization process they noticed several
divergent opinions and unforeseen obstacles which held them back from their goal. Determination played an
important role in leading the project to its destination. Finally, students proved to be resilient in spite of all the
drawbacks and the level of dissatisfaction they may have felt regarding the final product. Their project
presentation had been done in an optimistic way, thus revealing their confidence in the results of their work,
despite having worked online and having communicated through social media channels. Collaboration, grit
and resilience had the force to increase students’ motivation in finishing the project. Thus, while working
together, they were actually acquiring new information on the topic, as well as, developing social skills.
During the presentations students had the chance to reflect upon their personal involvement in the
project and their teamwork and their achievements in comparison with the other products displayed. The whole
class discussions were meant to point out the role played by each group member and the value of making use
of each peer’s specific skills and experience. Each project revealed the level of involvement of the group
members, their particular personality traits and the way they employed them and, above all, their previous
experience in this type of effort. Furthermore, students’ creativity and ICT skills had also become noticeable
in the process. Besides learning new vocabulary and ways of expressing themselves on the topic of fiction,
students had also learnt how to interact and collaborate, how to persevere in order to achieve a goal and how
to adapt to novel working conditions if they wanted to succeed. Cognitive learning had merged with emotional
and social practice in a challenging, but also rewarding journey showing that the virtual environment may also
bring them together when there is a clear-cut goal to attain.

Abordări ale activităților de învățare în ,,perioada online”
Meseria de profesor este una dintre cele mai complexe din lume. Este solicitantă emoțional și
cognitiv. Un profesor ia zeci de decizii importante zilnic, de la designul unei lecții la răspunsurile pe care
le dă unui elev sau părinte. Pentru asta are nevoie de susținere și de încredere în forțele proprii. Dar, mai
ales, are nevoie să colaboreze într-un spațiu deschis, onest și inclusiv cu alți practicieni, de la care să
învețe practici validate pentru învățare eficientă și relevantă pentru viitor.
Pe fundalul pandemiei de coronavirus, profesorii sunt acum provocați să se adapteze rapid și să
transmită un mesaj important elevilor: învățarea continuă dincolo de școală și cu instrumente online
accesibile tuturor și multă determinare, putem face progrese împreună și, mai mult decât oricând, putem
încuraja elevii să învețe și să lucreze independent.
Voi prezenta câteva aplicații și platforme care mi-au schimbat orele online – din unele banale, în unele
în care elevii erau concentrați pe tot parcursul lecțiilor. Nu de alta, dar a devenit un laitmotiv expresia „Oare
ce surprize ne-a pregătit doamna pentru ora aceasta?”.
La primul contact online cu elevii mei, am folosit aplicația Zoom pentru întâlniri sincron și platforma
Adservio pentru postarea temelor și a sarcinilor de lucru realizate asincron.
Inconvenientul aplicației Zoom este timpul limitat pentru o întâlnire (condiție pentru folosirea gratuită), iar ca
și beneficii evidențiez partajarea ecranului, număr mare de participanți, ușor de instalat și folosit pe orice
dispozitiv.
Platforma Adservio este de un real ajutor tuturor beneficiarilor, elevii și părinții fiind notificați pentru
orice calificativ, absență, adnotări asupra temelor postate, iar profesorii asupra materialelor postate de către
elevi.
Google Classroom este o aplicație, un instrument al platformei Google Workspace în care mi-am creat
și mi-am organizat temele pe discipline, am comunicat ușor cu elevii, le-am oferit feedback. Ce mi se pare
absolut interesat este faptul că poți salva teme sau materiale în Drive, alegând ora la care acestea să fie postate
pe pagina clasei. Astfel, în timp ce discuți cu elevii despre un anumit subiect, materialul demonstrativ poate
apărea chiar în acel moment și pe pagina clasei.
Google Meet este aplicația folosită pentru întâlnirile sincron, fiind un serviciu de comunicare video în
siguranță, fără timp limită, cu nenumărate funcții: distribuirea ecranului, a unei ferestre, sau a unei file,
modificarea fundalului și a numărului de participanți vizibili pe ecran în același timp etc. Interesant este faptul
că poți alege să începi o întâlnire instantanee, să programezi una pentru mai târziu cu ajutorul instrumentului
Google Calendar, sau să accesezi link-ul direct din pagina Google Classroom, eliminând problema generării

68
link-ului pentru fiecare întâlnire, iar cu ajutorul extensiei Dualless, nu îți faci probleme asupra materialului
prezentat pentru că poți vedea atât materialul, cât și elevii, în ecrane divizate.
Jamboard este o tablă interactivă ce poate fi accesată direct în cadrul aplicației Google Meet, sau
separat, dacă este distribuită ca o filă nouă. Am folosit această aplicație atât în exemplificarea unor exerciții,
prin adăugarea fundalului potrivit (liniatură dictando/ pătrățele), cât și în lucrul în echipe aflate la distanță,
prin schițarea ideilor și salvarea acestora în cloud, astfel încât să le putem accesa de pe orice dispozitiv.
Office 365 (sau, mai nou, Microsoft 365) cuprinde multe aplicații Office inovatoare (Documente, Foi
de calcul, Prezentări), cu servicii inteligente din cloud și securitate avansată. Ce mi se pare inovator cu adevărat
este faptul că în cadrul Prezentărilor Google prin nenumăratele funcții, poți crea un portal pentru întreaga lecție
pe un singur slide, iar cu ajutorul unor extensii precum Bitmoji, elevii se simt efectiv în sala de clasă, în fața
doamnei învățătoare.
Google Forms este un instrument folosit des în crearea de fișe și teste cu diverse tipuri de itemi, sau a
unor chestionare de satisfacție. Te ajută foarte mult în colectarea și centralizarea rezultatelor în timp real, iar
pentru o clasă numeroasă este de un real folos.
Wordwall, este o aplicație ce a schimbat cu totul formatul orelor online. Când simțeam că cei mici
obosesc, încep să piardă din concentrarea atenției sau pur și simplu voiam să aduc un element-surpriză, un joc
creat în wordwall îmi era de ajutor. Chiar dacă ai posibilitatea de a crea doar 5 exerciții gratuit, apoi ai nevoie
de un upgrade, poți folosi gratuit și milioanele de resurse educaționale create de alte cadre didactice.
Learningapps este o aplicație cu totul și cu totul deosebită în activitatea online. Aici găsești multe
șabloane de realizare a exercițiilor, șabloane care acoperă întreaga categorie de itemi de lucru. Ca și în cazul
aplicației wordwall, și acesta pune la dispoziție o mulțime de exerciții create de alte cadre didactice care oferă
elevilor feedback în timp real și oportunitatea de a primi sarcini de lucru propuse de alte cadre didactice decât
cele de la clasă.
Kahoot este o aplicație interactivă prin faptul că elevii pot concura unii cu ceilalți în realizarea unor
exerciții create de cadrul didactic de la clasă, la final acesta putând genera și un clasament, sau pot lucra
exerciții create de alte cadre didactice, concurând cu un calculator sau cu alți elevi necunoscuți, fiind și mai
interesant.
Liveworksheets este un alt instrument de lucru descoperit în timpul orelor online și care oferă
posibilitatea realizării unor fișe/teste, de această dată formatul documentelor fiind pdf, cu posibilitate de
completare digitală. Dacă dau răspunsurile prestabilite, elevii primesc feedback pozitiv.
Acestea sunt doar câteva dintre aplicațiile utilizate în activitatea online la clasa la care mi-am desfășurat
activitatea în anul școlar anterior. În situația în care vom fi nevoiți să desfășurăm și în acest an școlar ore
online, am de gând să folosesc și alte resurse digitale, fiind mereu deschisă la nou, dar sper totuși că vom
depăși această perioadă de nesiguranță căci indiferent de câte instrumente digitale folosești în cadrul orelor
online, nu se compară cu un feedback oferit față în față.

“Cand întemeiezi biblioteci, pregătești hambare publice, strange reserve menite să preîntâmpine o iarnă
a spiritului.”
(Marguerite Yourcenar)
În perioada martie – iunie 2020 atât cadrele didactice, didactic auxiliare și elevii s-au confruntat cu o
perioadă inedită în viața școlii românești. Școlile au fost închise din cauza unui puternic virus, care a afectat
întreaga omenire. Astfel că, predarea materiei precum și alte activități specifice cu elevii au trecut în mediul
online.
Bibliotecare de profesie, ne-am readaptat într-un timp relativ scurt cerințelor actuale, încercând să
venim în sprijinul cadrelor didactice și mai ales al elevilor. În primă fază am întocmit liste bibliografice pentru
clasele I-VIII din școlile unde ne desfășurăm activitatea. Apoi am trecut la descărcarea cărților din format pdf
de pe anumite site-uri care permiteau acest lucru. Am rămas alături de elevi și profesori descărcând filmulețe
pentru copii, tururi virtuale ale muzeelor lumii, gradini botanice și zoologice, legende ale florei și faunei
precum și alte materiale cu caracter informațional, necesare altor discipline. Am participat la întâlniri online
alături de colegi bibliotecari din universități, care ne-au pus la dispoziție link-uri utile cu bibliografia digitizată
pentru examenele de evaluare națională și bacalaureat, pe care le-am distribuit ulterior pe grupul de whatts app
al școlii și ale claselor.
Prin natura frumoasei profesii pe care o practicăm de mai multi ani, aceea de bibliotecar, putem afirma
că nu cunoaștem sentimentul de plictiseală. Cărțile ne inspiră și ne dau idei în realizarea proiectelor cu elevii,
alături de colegele profesoare. Suntem o adevărată echipă și împreună am avut parte de evenimente minunate
realizate în biblioteca școlii. În această perioadă în care nu ne-am întâlnit, am menținut aceeași strânsă
colaborare, ne-au venit idei noi de a valorifica într-un volum toate activitățile și proiectele derulate înainte de
închiderea școlilor, tot ceea ce am realizat împreună, volum de care ne ocupăm personal.
Școala de acasă în mediul online își are plusurile și minusurile sale. Partea pozitivă a fost ca s-a putut
continua procesul de învățare, deși au fost și elevi care nu au avut echipamentele necesare în dotare și prin
aceasta au fost marginalizați de restul. Prin faptul ca toată lumea a fost activă pe tot parcurul săptămânii a fost
evitat sedentarismul, cu toții ne-am imbogațit cunoștințele digitale, având parte de confort în propria casă.
Ca argumente contra putem spune că a lipsit interacțiunea socială pe care o aveam zilnic cu colegii,
scăderea calității actului didactic, lipsa interesului acordat orelor, activităților și proiectelor pe care ne-am
propus să le desfășurăm împreună.

Cu siguranță această perioadă a fost una inedită, o experiență nouă care a venit cu multe lecții de viață,
am descoperit faptul că ne putem adapta foarte repede într-un mediu nou, am învățat să apreciem lucrurile
mărunte pe care nu le apreciam înainte și de care acum ne este dor.
În această perioadă am profitat de cărțile cumpărate cu ceva timp în urmă, dar pe care nu am reușit să
le citim și venim cu un sfat pentru elevi, să nu uite că cititul este mai mult decât o îndeletnicire sau pasiune,
cititul cărților crează caractere, mintea devine un laborator de idei și soluții, de imagini care vor fi de folos în
construirea viitorului sau când ești în impas, încrederea în tine va crește, stima de sine se va îmbogăți, vei fi
apreciat de cei care iubesc cărțile și lectura, îți vei face mulți prieteni care au aceeași pasiune și preocupare.
Lectura este prietenul de nădejde mereu prezent, indiferent de oră, vreme și stare emoțională.
De ce citesc?
- Pentru a fi mai bun decât ieri;
- Pentru a înțelege viața și oamenii;
- Pentru a forma oameni;
- Pentru a mă relaxa;
- Pentru a mă exprima rapid, clar și frumos;
- Pentru a socializa.
De ce scriu?
- Pentru a ajunge la sufletele celor pentru scriu;
- Pentru a le oferi încredere, soluții, informații;
- Pentru o educație interdisciplinară bazată pe voie bună, descoperire și pasiune;
- Pentru a crea imagini în care cititorii să se regăsească și să își imagineze o viață mai bună pe care
o vor obține;
- Pentru creativitatea din spatele poveștii;
- Pentru călătorii în locuri unde poate nu vom ajunge;
- Pentru a oferi dragoste, mângâieri, pilde și curaj cititorilor.

PLATFORMELE E-LEARNING ȘI MODUL LOR DE FACILITARE A PROCESULUI DE
PREDARE-ÎNVAȚARE-EVALUARE ÎN SISTEM ONLINE

Dezvoltarea social-economică a cunoscut o serie de etape corespunzătoare atâtor revoluții tehnologice,
culminând în pragul mileniului trei cu societatea preponderent digitală. Evoluția economiei și a societății, în
general, are ca principal motor educația. Îmbogățirea tezaurului de cunoștințe al individului conduce la
dezvoltarea și maturizarea sistemelor complementare acestuia: familie, colectivitate, regiune, societate. Toate
acestea sunt posibile în era informațională prin educație permanent, educație la distanță, educație online sau
e-learning. În zilele noastre, când timpul este din ce în ce mai limitat, iar volumul de informaţie foarte mare,
platformele e-learning îşi fac destul de repede loc în sistemul de învăţământ deoarece permit utilizarea mai
eficientă a resurselor materiale cât şi umane. Educația online reprezintă o modalitate nouă de a privi procesul
de învățare, în care elementele de fond rămân aceleași, doar mijlocul de schimb și însușire a cunoștințelor se
modifică. Utilizarea sistemului informatic pentru educație înseamnă însă aducerea unor noi elemente, legate
de libertatea de a învăța în locul și la momentul dorit. Rădăcinile acestui sistem educațional se găsesc în
învățământul la distanță, practicat în anumite regiuni ale globului. Distanțele mari sau alte obstacole despărțeau
instructorii de cursanți. Deși apariția calculatoarelor a fost destul de timpurie, costurile ridicate ale tehnologiei
au împiedicat dezvoltarea în această direcție. Însă, producerea în cantități semnificative și scăderea prețurilor
pe piața tehnicii de calcul au determinat ca promotorii educației permanente online să-și pună proiectele în
practică. Astfel, mijloacele de stocare a informațiilor pe suport magnetic sau digital fiind disponibile,
universitățile au fost primele care au adoptat noua metodologie. Soluțiile de e-learning existente în momentul
de față sunt rezultatul evoluției tehnologiilor care suportă aceste facilități. Ulterior, tehnologiile de comunicare
interactive au devenit elementele centrale ale noilor modele de desfășurare a învățământului pe suport
electronic. Astăzi există trei modele general acceptate în lumea educației online, fiecare ocupând o cota
aproximativ egală pe această piață: Educația online independentă reprezintă modelul prin care utilizatorul
individual preia materialul de curs de pe Internet sau de pe CD, parcurgându-l de unul singur. Modelul
reprezintă avantajul unei cantități de informație foarte mare care poate fi accesată într-un timp scurt, precum
și facilități multimedia extinse, fiind însă foarte rigid în ceea ce privește comunicare profesor-elev.
Educația online asincronă permite transmiterea de informație la un moment dat doar unui singur
partener al relației instructor-student. Instructorul poate să furnizeze informația elevilor, dar aceștia nu pot
interacționa în timp ce o primesc. Avantajul major în acest caz este acela că elevul își păstrează facilitatea de
a lucra după ritmul propriu, putând însă obține și răspunsul la cererile sale într-un interval de timp acceptabil.
Educația online sincronă permite transferul interactiv de informație cu orice alt utilizator în orice
moment. De exemplu, profesorul și elevii transferă informațiile în timpul desfășurării cursului, de regulă în
timp real. Acest model este cel mai performant în ceea ce privește gradul de facilitare a comunicării,
modalitățile audio-video integrate, creând conceptul de “teleclasă”. Platformele de învăţare online, sau așa-
numitele platforme e-learning, sprijină procesul de învăţare individuală şi permit utilizatorilor să acceseze o
serie de surse de informare sau de medii online de dezbatere, pe teme diverse.
Platformele de instruire e-learning: E-learning-ul nu doreşte să înlocuiască sistemele educaţionale
tradiţionale ci, să întărească procesul de învăţare. A fost adoptat de unităţile de învăţământ ca o alternativă la
educaţia tradiţională, ea poate completa activitatea didactică din şcoală, dar nu o poate înlocui. Acest tip de
