FINAL PROJECT

Hi guys!!!

We are about to finish our "weird" academic year....so, this activity is going to be the last one. We are overwhelmed by technology at this coronavirus period so that is the reason why we are going to design a project about Hi-Tech Solutions (High Technology solutions) in our current life. Unit 9 in your student´s book is related to this.

You have to follow several steps to organize your project:

• First, make a research about how Hi-Tech inventions are helping us in every area of our lives.
• Second, choose or select an aspect that calls your attention: Technology and health, technology and nature, technology and animals, technology and future houses, etc...and show us how important it would be for the development of our future life. You will expose this topic throughout a presentation, I don´t mind the format (video, powerpoint, prezi...whatever you want)
• At your presentation, you will have to deal with the following aspects:

1. Introduction of the topic you have chosen
2. Give reasons why you consider it so important in our life.
3. Consequences for our present or future life using this Hi-Tech invention
4. Conclusion.
5. You can accompany your presentation with videos or photos about the topic you are dealing it.
6. Deadline: 19th June.

Let me know all your doubts about it and next year we will work harder to deal with the aspect we couldn´t practise at this academic year.

Good luck and take care a lot!!!
