Creating your own story

Here you have a word cloud that contains several terms related to education. By using these words you will have to create a crazy story about a school. You can use as much words as you want to complete your task.

Google Docs:

Google docs is a tool that allows you to share documents with other people, both you and your collaborators can edit it at the same time as you are modifying the information.

You can share all kind of documents: Text, presentations, drawings, spreadsheets and forms. We are going to learn how to use it. First of all you need to create an account in Gmail and then you have to click in DRIVE, there you will find an option called CREATE, so you will have to create a document in which you will write about the most embarrassed experience you have ever had. Then you will have to share that document with all your classmates and they will have to comment your experiences.

Webpages to learn English

Have you ever tried to learn English using Internet? Of course! We all have tried to do that, but sometimes it is difficult to find good material adapted to your own level. This is why I have created a Diigo account, that contains several links that can be useful for you to practice English language. By clicking here  you will enter in Diigo webpage. 

Your homework for today is to take a glance to these links and to explain in 10 lines which are the most useful for you. 

Freedom of Expression

Freedom of expression is essential to enable democracy in a country, why do you think it is important nowadays? 

Here you have a summary about the "Declaration on principles on Freedom of Expression"; First of all you will have to register in Voicethread webpage and then I want you to read the statements below and match them with the pictures in this Voicethread link. You will have to write the pros and the cons of these principles.
