    <summary type="html">Hello all &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With schools in Malta closed till September has brought many changes to our lifestyles. However, this did not stop our participation in the Phenology Campaign. In this post I want to share with you how I am staying in touch wit my students. I created a team on Microsoft Teams and send all updates re leaf growth there. I also assigned some tasks which my students can do at home. For example students are invited to do research on the Fig Tree, prepare a PowerPoint presentation, find recipes using the fruit of the fig tree, cook and prepare food using the fruits of the fig tree and also interview their grandparents about the culture/folklore related to the tree. Once their tasks are complete they will send me photos which I will then share on the school website. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you find these ideas useful and pass them to your students as well. It would be interesting to learn about the different trees in the Campaign from a different persperctive - the cultural aspect. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and stay safe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ramona Mercieca &lt;br /&gt;Gozo College Middle School &lt;br /&gt;  </summary>
