1. The students read and acquire the appropriate linguistic material in the L2 that is helpful for the sequence (see below: Linguistic support).
2. The students prepare a video presentation about their own school. To do this, they create a small script. This can be provided with keywords in the L2.
3. Research about the school can also be done (especially if a quiz about the school is planned): Origin, former schools in the community, curiosities, peculiarities. This could include a visit to the community or to the former head teacher.
4. The students divide up the roles, rehearse the recordings and use the necessary linguistic material ("This is our gym").
5. The video is being shot.
6. The recordings can be further processed (editing, music, subtitles, ...).
7. The final version of the recording is uploaded to a "file-sharing platform" (Dropbox, Padlet, etc.) and shared with the partner class.
8. Extension: The classes can agree to conduct a quiz, for which appropriate questions are prepared (cf. 3.).
9. After the exchange process: reflection in the classes about the implementation and the learning process.
