New year, new projects

As we have commented in class, this term we are working in a new project: Materials for an Integrated Approach to Languages. The language subjects: Spanish, Basque and English are working together with similar materials, similar methodology and similar aims.
The type of text we will deal with is Narrative. The fild is the language in the mass media and the topic in our English subject will be "You Be the Reporter".
Our main objectives are

• To recognize interpretative and informative journalistic genres.
• To recognize and to employ features of new articles, newspaper reports and digital stories.
• To get to know and analyse the resources used to value and interpret events.
• To develop a critical mind towards information in the mass media.
• To learn to criticize own productions and peers' ones with the aim of improving linguistic competence.

At the end of the unit, the students working in groups will produce a narrative text: a digital story. We will publish our productions on the Internet (our blogs, the school's web,...)
