Hi, everybody!
It's time to start the new course! In fact, most of you have already planned the first week in order to deal successfully with the beginning of this new course.
I'm pretty sure all of you are going to try to do your best in English, trying hard in Subject Projects as well as in the rest of the school subjects. It is going to be quite interesting to work on the English projects for Secondary. Subject Projects will actively involve you in learning about a specific subject!
In Secondary, 1st grade, the first unit is great and it is called "What's Music?". It is all about music, instruments, different genres or styles, famous composers and people in Music, including number-one hits and the history of Music. You will be doing plenty of different activities while reviewing all the grammar constructions and the vocabulary seen in the unit from the very beginning. You will be asked to carry out a nice project and eventually, by the end of the first trimester you will be talking about how much you learnt and that you really enjoyed yourself practising English, learning new contents and improving your writing skills.
In Secondary, 2nd grade, the first unit is called "Europe" which refers to the member states of the European Union and involves learning about countries, nationalities, capital cities, popular places, famous people, the weather and the climate in Europe as well as interesting facts of the European Community. The project will be the design of a leaflet featuring a country which will be presented and explained to the rest of the class.
In Secondary, 3rd grade, students will be working on different cultures. This first unit which is called "Culture shock" is very interesting indeed!!! They are going to enjoy it a lot!!! The SSLIC project will present them a set of different activities to learn more about other cultures. At the end they will be asked to write an essay about the cultural differences and similarities among the Basque country and some other countries.
Students at Secondary, 4th grade will continue with the contents presented on the SSLIC programme. So, this time they will be working on some historical events that happened along history. The unit is called "What happened when I was born." In fact, the aim is to find out and report about the historical events that occurred on the same day the students were born. This time they will be given different texts in order to learn through them. Finally, they will try to do their best writing a composition on the theme!!!
