This paper first outlines the basic theoretical principles underlining a sister-class project undertaken between schools in Canada and Greece. The objectives of the project, the problems that arose during
the implementation as well as the outcomes thus far are discussed. Central to the success of the project was the creation of a learning environment that offered cognitively demanding educational tasks,
assured contextual support, and promoted the activation of students' prior knowledge.
