Imaginary Land Project. II Edition.

As we are about to celebrate Constitution Day in Spain, what better project than designing your own country??? You can't get any cooler than that! In groups, we will design a brochure to present an Imaginary Land with the following info:

Page 1: Name of the country & Flag.

Passage Way to South Seas by 

Zoltan Ducsai

 

Page 2: Members of the project

Page 3: Index of Contents (as detailed next)

Page 4: Description of the country

Page 5: Description of the capital city.

Page 6: Map including distinctive geographical aspects.

Page 7: Inhabitants and Nationality.

Page 8: Flora and Fauna

Page 9: Language 

Page 10: LAWS. 

This last point will be the perfect excuse to start a debate about the importance of a constitution, moving to ours in particular. They must reflect not only on people's rights, but also on their duties and responsibilities. Also, key aspects such as monarchy, presidency, religion and police forces will be questioned to be present or absent in each group's proposal.

Daily Routine

ESO1 is learning to talk about their DAILY ROUTINES. To help them with that, we will watch the following video in class and then we will exchange information about our routines and habits. It will also be helpful to revise how to tell the time!!!.

ESO3 RECYCLING PROJECT III Edition

Unit 2 was about recycling. We have learnt how important recycling is for present and future generations. In order to prove we are on eco-mode, our project requieres some active action from our side.
Option 1: Bring a recycled object from home that you usually use. Say what it is, what it is made of and why you use it.
Example: coconut bag. It is a bag made of coconut. I use it because it is perfect for small things such as mobile, keys or change. It is very handy to go out in summer.
Option 2: Create your own recycled object. Show the class how we can create things with our own hands and using materials we have at home.
Example one: corner bookmark (video tutorial in Spanish)
Example two: a butterfly bookmark (video tutorial in English)
