Today's work

1. Choose your slides in this presentation about Guntín and our school. We want to show our school and school life to the other members of the project.You have to finish it today.
2.  And vote for your favourite logo.
   
3.  And then, you can upload your Christmas wishes for the partners in our project.

Happy Days for Boys and Girls

In today's class we have two tasks:

1. Design a logo for our project. Bear in mind that this is the summary of your project: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights says, on its first article, that “all human beings are born equal in dignity and rights”. However, even in the 21st century, the opportunities are not always the same for men and for women. Sometimes, in some small details, the society tends to divide the world of boys and the world of girls, keeping barriers between them.
   With this project, we want to work with our students that girls and boys should have the same rights in this open and free world that we live. You can use a white sheet and a pen or any photo editing program.
2. The other option is to choose one or two slides and work on this presentation about Guntín and our school. We want to show our school and school life to the other members of the project.

My favourite animal

Copy this link and make a copy of the document and save it in your Google Drive account. Then, start working on your text. 

Use Wikipedia in English and Simple Wikipedia. Be careful with author rights.

Then share the document with your teacher.

Today's eTwinning session

These are the activities we'll have in today's class:

1. Log in with your username and key
2. Write comments in the Padlet after reading everyone else's opinions and comments.
3. Write your opinion and comments to other people's opinions on their/your favourite videogame character.
4. If you haven't written anything here yet, write about Music in My Life.
5. This is a bit more difficult. Set the TIMER in your mobile phone. Go to this game and match singer and song. As soon as you finish, take a screenshot of the timer and share it in the forum, together with your comments.
6. The last activity of this project is about sharing images or videos on Instagram with the hashtags: 

1. #freetime_busytime
2. #freetime_busytime_music
3. #freetime_busytime_videogames
7. We should upload some videos or images and tell about our impressions  on music, videogames or free time activities in general. This would be the final evaluation of the project, so interaction with the other members of the project is essential.
