Dear Students,

This month you will be doing a project, which can be an infogram or a leaflet. Moreover, there also will be a wonderful movie to watch and a text to read. And last but not least, your absolute favorite grammar and vocabulary sections. So the fun has just arrived!

Before you get started, the rules have changed regarding written or printed sections. THEY ALL WILL BE HANDED IN.

So enjoy the activities and learn as much as you can!

It is also a good idea to check the vocabulary provided. In the box on the right click on the icons for the PDF and the podcast. You might want to listen to the interview first and then download the PDF document in case you need to see the transcript.
