LET´S TRAVEL AROUND EUROPE!!!


Hi everyone!!!


Let´s face our next project: OUR INTERRAIL EXPERIENCE.!!!

For this project we are going to be divided in groups of six people.

Here you are some hints to prepare your trip around Europe with your friends, by train:


Plan your route.: Choose the places to visit in a map. Try to be reasonable. Remember you are travelling by train and your route has to be as real as possible. To help you in this task you can use some pages such as: www.routeperfect.com/Europe-Travel/   www.interrail.eu/plan-your-trip

Design a leaflet of your trip: When you have everything clear you should design a leaflet,
that contains the following information: Dates, Places you are going to visit, Stays, Activities,
Equipment.
Deadline for this activity: 9th February

Last part of the project will be to record your travel using a Khroma programme.
Our special editor will be Fernando Rubio, we will follow his instructions...but as a group, you should save images of the cities you are visiting to use them in your video. Deadline: 27th March. 

Good luck guys!!! I hope you enjoy the final results of this project!!

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP WON THE AMERICAN ELECTIONS!!!

Hi everybody!!!

Did you follow last TV news about American  Elections. Finally, Trump won and we would like to live this result with some hope and credibility... however, we feel some fear to know how Trump´s background can influence decisions and how these decisions can be taken in a crazy way....having global consequences. Good luck Americans, good luck world!!!!



Anyway, I would like to know your own opinion about these results. Probably you do not like politics but in any aspect of our life we are influenced by it...so what is your point of view about this situation. Let us know... I will be more than happy to discuss these aspects with you in class. Do not forget watching this video with different opinions about the future coming from Trump and Clinton supporters. 

BFN!!!
