This year, individual students can complete a printed map of Europe and do additional activities (charts, webquests, posters) using the material provided in the site under Resources and the teacher uses those activities, explained in a detailed lesson plan, to elicit conversations on geographical and cultural information. This way teachers can increase their students' vocabulary in the Foreign Language while engaging them in communicative sessions. The culminating activity is a supervised session on-line when they have to complete the map of Europe in a Foreign Language of their choice within 20 minutes, individually and with no help. Results are automatically stored in a database. Registration will be open until February 28, 2006. Competition sessions will take place between March 1 and March 31, 2006. There will be 3 main prizes for the first, second and third places in the final individual standings (worth 100€, 70€ and 60€). A fourth 40€ prize will be awarded to a randomly chosen participant. Final results will be announced on April 5. As a new rule this year, in the case that all three winners belong to the same school the third prize will be taken away from that school and will be awarded to the next first position in a different school.
