Advertising and Lateral Thinking is a project addressed to 1st Batxillerat students, where they are encouraged, after watching some good examples of advertisements, to present an "old" product or concept in a new way, using techinques of lateral thinking. The students develop their own ads in video or graphic formats. Here you will find a website with information about the project and the students' final productions.
We watch trailers and movies in VOS.
This is a social sciences project where the 2nd ESO students, in English, had to read an introductory text about the Middle Ages; then, in groups, they had to prepare a presentation about the different social classes of the time: nobles, knights, clergy, artisans and peasants. They had to find information about all the aspects of their daily life: clothes, food, entertainment, homes, families, etc. Then, each group, dressed as their chosen social class, presented it to their classmates. Here you will find a presentation that includes links to the complete project and some video fragments of its realisation.
