A teaching workbook designed to be used in pairs, containing 39 activities in Italian language, history and geography developed according to the principles of cooperative learning. The worksheets are completed by two pupils sitting opposite each other. Each pair works on the same activity with two different tasks: Worksheet A, more advanced, and Worksheet B, simplified. The two versions complement each other, encouraging individual responsibility and positive interdependence.
Each worksheet is enriched with a visual key and a table that gradually guides the learning path, combining subject-specific and socio-emotional objectives.
