Appunti :
Whenever the ideal resource does not exist or cannot be
found a good adage is to apply the “pizza principle.” In
essence that is either to start with a basic item, the
Margherita and build up, or to select the Super Special
and eliminate. In both instances, adaptation is necessary,
either in adding or simplifying. More often than not one
needs to be flexible at working with texts or activities to make
them appropriate and perfect for students.
There is now a new procedure for Museo bookings, both
staff led and self –guided which is now online at:
http://italianlanguage.coasit.com.au/education-programs/museoitaliano-schools-program.html
Full details are contained within this Newsletter and please

Best wishes for the term!

Big Books are Spectacular!
The Big Book collection at Co.As.It Resource Centre is expanding to the point of
requiring more shelving space, with one whole bay now dedicated to this genre.
Following is “a guide for using big books in the classroom” based on Priscilla
Lynch’s best-selling resource Using Big Books and Predictable Books, principles
which can also be used in the Italian language classroom.
“There’s something spectacular about Big Book versions of good children’s books. Their visual appeal is a sure
hook into their content.
But Big Books are also produced for pedagogical reasons, and using them in the classroom [and the Italian
language classroom] makes good teaching sense. Big Books help the teacher to extend – or for some less
fortunate children, to establish- the positive effect of home lap-reading experiences. Large print and colourful
illustrations allow whole classrooms to share good stories and interesting books of fact. Especially when used
with small groups, Big Books enrich oral language development through modelled reading, through risk-free
participation by the children in subsequent readings and discussion, and through the meaningful teaching of
skills within context—all positive and therefore powerful learning experiences.
This guide focuses firstly on sharing the book as a group, to give the children confidence in their ability to
“read”it. Then they highlight additional language arts potential depending on the interests and needs of the
children and on the teaching goals. Finally, the teacher can move beyond a strictly language focus to include
across-the-curriculum activities and theme ideas for both individual and shared learning. Together these
suggestions reflect a basic learning pattern for children:
 They observe someone engaged in a desirable activity.
 They emulate the activity.
 They engage in similar activities, with guidance.
 They step creatively out on their own.
Because the uses a teacher makes of an individual Big Book title will depend on the children’s interest in it and
on their learning needs, the suggestions have been divided into four major types, which can be combined in
different ways for different titles.




The book experience itself, spread over several shared reading sessions (from three to
seven or more, depending on the children’s familiarity with books and on the nature of the
particular title).
Language learning based on the book, whether coincidentally or by linking the language to
a current unit of work with the [Italian Language] classroom.
Independent practice, growing out of the book though not necessarily directly related to it.
Theme studies, linking the book to other books and /or to all kinds of common human
experiences.
The Book Experience
For the initial session, especially with young children who have little book experience, the purpose is two-fold:
 To model the basic book knowledge they need to be able to approach books with
confidence.
 To share the story several times in a whole class or small group situation so familiarity
will give the children confidence. At least five sessions are recommended with a title,
to allow for a full and rich exploration of the book, its story and its language. Some
sessions may take only a few minutes; some much longer.
Language learning
Because language skills are best learned in context, it makes good sense to use texts which may be part of an
overall topic or theme being developed in the classroom. Some language teaching opportunities may arise
spontaneously as the children respond to the text during shared reading sessions; others may be planned for
enabling consolidation to occur.
Independent Practice
The independent and small group activities that might evolve from the shared experience of a book depend to a
large extent on the children and on the classroom situation. It is suggested that not only additional languagebased activities be developed but also others relating to other areas of the curriculum, such as the arts, maths,
science, and social studies.
Evaluation
Evaluation of growth in the children’s language and background knowledge resulting from the use of Big Books
will vary depending on the potential of the book and the activities undertaken. For most books teachers can
 Observe the children’s responses to the book, to the teacher and to their peers
 Collect samples of their work to chart progress
 Arrange a conference to share their enthusiasm and challenges and to make plans
for further learning.
Remember! The first purpose of a big book is enjoyment. But these books can also be powerful motivators for
learning. Shared book experiences help to model the reading process for beginning readers, encouraging
prediction, and correct pronunciation.

Le case dei ricchi e famosi......
La casa di George Clooney:
Conoscete George Clooney? Sapete che ha una meravigliosa
casa in Italia? Il famoso attore, qualche tempo fa, ha
comprato l’antica Villa Oleandra a Laglio, un piccolo paese sul
lago di Como. George ha ristrutturato la casa che ha tante
camere spaziose, un grande giardino, una bella piscina e una
splendida vista sul lago. L’attore viene qui spesso per
riposarsi e per ricevere i suoi amici. Molti italiani hanno
apparezzato la sua presenza... sopratutto le donne.
Villa Oleandra
La casa di Alex Britti:
Condominio nel quartiere Prati
Ciao, sono Alex Britti, sono un cantante e abito a Roma. La mia casa è
nel quartiere Prati, vicino al centro storico. Abito in un condominio.
La mia casa è molto grande; spesso sto in casa insieme ai miei amici
musicisti per provare le nostre canzoni.
Ho un salone moderno con due divani di pelle nera, un tavolo lungo
e varie sedie e poltrone. Anche la mia cucina è moderna; mi piace
molto cucinare; in cucina ho un forno speciale per cuocere le pizze.
Sicuramente la mia stanza preferita è lo studio perché lì c’è un
grande impianto stereo per ascoltare la musica e tanti CD.
La casa di Francesco Totti:
Sono Francesco Totti... mi conoscete? Sono un
calciatore della Roma, gioco da tanti anni in questa
squadra e sono il capitano. Qualche anno fa mi sono
sposato e ho comprato una casa nuova: l’ho scelta nel
quartiere Eur, a Roma, una zona moderna, non lontana dal
centro. La mia casa è grande e luminosa, ha mobili
moderni ed è piena di regali di nozze; io e mia moglie li
abbiamo ricevuti dagli amici e dai parenti e li abbiamo
messi in varie stanze. Nella nostra casa ci sono tante
fotografie: le abbiamo messe dappertutto perchè sono
ricordi della nostra vita e della mia carriera. Nella mia
stanza c’è il mio primo pallone: l’ho preso da casa di mia
madre e l’ho portato in questa casa perché è un pallone
fortunato!

Samantha Cristoforetti : woman of the stars : a social media hit
Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has become an international celebrity.
She was a Captain in the Italian Air Force, having logged over 500 hours flying when in 2009 she was
selected as an ESA (European Space Agency ) astronaut.
Born in Milan, Italy, on 26 April 1977, Samantha Cristoforetti enjoys hiking, scuba diving, yoga, reading
and travelling. Other interests include technology, nutrition and the Chinese language.
In July 2012, after basic astronaut training she was assigned to an Italian Space Agency ASI mission aboard
the International Space Station. She was launched on a Soyuz spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome in
Kazakhstan on the second long-duration ASI mission and the eighth long-duration mission for an ESA
astronaut.
Samantha is now working and living on the International Space Station as part of her mission and enjoys
interacting with space enthusiasts on Twitter as @AstroSamantha.
Spreading across the planet her communications have been received in a myriad of countries as was
reported in The Calgary Herald (May 2, 2015).
“A simple message goes out to hundreds of thousands of Twitter readers, night after night: “Good night
from #space. Buona notte dallo spazio.”
It is always accompanied by a fresh photo of Earth, taken from orbit.
The sender is Samantha Cristoforetti, an Italian air force captain and astronaut who is following in the
footsteps of Chris Hadfield as she becomes a social media master in orbit.
The videos and stills she shoots show sunsets and northern lights, sea ice off Newfoundland, blue-green
Bahamian waters, and a quite a lot of Italy.
There are images of Cristoforetti herself in a star Trek uniform, one of them as she welcomes a cargo ship
with coffee for a zero-gravity espresso machine from Lavazza. (Previous Italians in space had to drink
instant).
She has a short exercise video on line. She read excerpts from Dante on the poet’s 750 th birthday. She
teaches a formal physics lesson on gravitational pull on orbiting objects, with equations and floating
baseballs. She has posted more than 2,000 photos on flickr.
“La Donna delle stelle”, an Italian TV network called her.”
Samantha, Terry Virts and Anton Shkaplerov arrived at the Station when their Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft
docked on 24 November 2014.
Since then they have seen five supply vessels arrive and leave, and worked on countless experiments.
As much time as possible is spent on science during their 40-hour working week. Samantha runs
experiments from ASI and ESA, but takes part in more from scientists all over the world. Many are
continuations form previous expeditions – the station’s longevity is part of what makes it so special for
scientists.
Samantha’s mission is named Futura to highlight the science and technology research she is running in
weightlessness to help shape our future.
At the time of compiling this article it is projected that ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will return to
Earth on 11 June, 2015 along with astronauts Terry and Anton, having spent 200 days in space on the
International Space Station.

Some Testimonials
On Friday June 17, we were extremely fortunate to have the wonderfully talented Nadia Cavallo come to our school, Nazareth
Primary, to sing and perform her popular Italian songs for Italian Day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, singing and
learning new actions to her original songs. They were thrilled to meet her as they had been learning the songs for quite some
time. I highly recommend Nadia to all schools. The children will love her just as much as love her songs!
- Dianne Dolley, (Nazareth Primary School, VIC)
Cavallo Capers’ Resources are fantastic, our clients want to borrow them frequently and I find that is never in the library at all. I’m
still waiting for it to be returned from the country and someone else is waiting!!!
- Perth Librarian
Hi Nadia,
I am a teacher in Dapto, NSW. I ordered all your resources last year and since then I have used them constantly in my
Italian lessons in Year 2 and 3. Thanks for providing such quality resources. If you ever have new products, let me know
and I'll order them.
Regards,
- Paula Huckstepp (St John's Catholic Primary School, Dapto, NSW)
Nadia Cavallo spent one day a week during term 3 introducing our kindergarten children to the Italian language, culture and
country through her fantastic Buongiorno Kit. The children and staff loved them both and we shared our journey with the families
by having a concert at the end of the term.
Nadia had a lovely nature with the children and was very patient and warm encouraging the children to join in with her.
Nadia's Italian lessons have been a fantastic addition to the program and have complimented the Early Years Learning
Framework. We look forward to having back again next year.
Grazie
- Daniela Ruffo (Highton Preschool)
...She's fantastic for producing her wonderful material, isn't she?!
I wish I was as musically talented as she is... her songs and her video and her activities too, have been so well-received
by the students. (Her own students must absolutely adore having her to themselves in the flesh!)
