The telling starts with humanity history. (Roland Barthes)

A text exists because it means something by

suitable conversational strategies.

(G

ianfranco Bettetini) Everything exists since it is told. (Ricci)

A text is a a fabric…to enter into the fabric of a story meansnot only to discover its tissue and plot, but,also its involvements.

To use telling at school does not mean to anatomize and dissect it, but to understand and produce sensible courses.

P.O.F.( Formative Offer Plan)

What’s POF?

The POF is a document created as knowledge and

presentation instrument of a school; it is useful inside it

because it is like a compass and outside it because it

represents offer, opportunity and agreement with

territory (Staderini).

We are describing its vision and mission together with

methodological, didactic and organizational aspects.

Do you remembEr?

10

THE PLAN

Our school elaborated a coesive plan

congruent with National Indications,

articulated in UDA (Units of learning), and

to overcome any fragmentation it is

structured according to a sharing pattern.

Do you remembEr?

The 1° Circolo Didattico di Trapani, intends to

stimulate the school personnel and users so that

they may have a constructive and positive

Vision and a Mission aimed at sharing of true

values.

A true value is solidarity, that is aimed at

spreading the project “Everyone for one”.11

NIKI STORY

Niki is a ten years old child obliged to live on the sea because of a

serious asthmatic illness; so his family constructed a boat for him, the

Walkirie, wherein they live together.

The project was conceived serendipitely: some teachers privately met

the Niki family since they were in Trapani for the upkeep their boat and

to inaugurate a project, in syntony with national and local authorities

aimed at enhancing the videoconference as didactic instrument. (Niki

listens to the lessons of his school by videoconference).

Niki and his family are corageous people because they reacted positively

when facing difficulties.

They are for us human paradigms to be presented to children.12

After knowing the story of Niki a small group of children went into

Niki‘s boat to follow the school lessons by videoconference.

In the afternoon all the children attending the fifth classes of the school

met Niki in a space on the shore which belongs to Lega Navale di

Trapani.

The children realized that what Niki wanted was the human contact,

further he could have enriched them while he was telling his experience

on the sea.

The children prepared a Power Point, containing letters and poems to be

sent by e-mail to Niki.

Hello Niki,

I am writing this letter to tell you what I think of your life: you can travel all

over the Mediterranean sea and discover new thinks, but the worst

matter is that you cannot always choose what to do, and I am sorry for this, because I think freedom is very important. I hope to meet you soon.

Greetings and good luck.

Claudio15

Hello Niki, how are you?

I am well, so are you.

I would like to tell you that when you came, it was a wonderful time for me

because you made me understand that

though one may have a trouble

nevertheless he can live happily.

MARIO

What is the most important activity, or the most important project that we have realized? What is the most important disciline we have taught?

What we have told is only the smallest part of what we have done, but it is a part of our real experience and it is the everyday life that should offer occasions of comparison between the different visions of man and different models of behavior, with the mutual possibility to attract, involve, convince.

When someone asked Bruner about the most important disciplice taught at school, he answered: “The very school”.
