The project

Recent History project


This ICTs Project is oriented to the sharing of information. In the Modern Languages School of the UCV, English II (2nd year) includes Laboratory. This area of the subject fosters the practice of oral skills but it also comprehends some topics of Universal History. In the third term (April to July), we study Recent History topics and the students have to make group presentations of them.

This project will help the students to share information about the different topics, as well as, to show all the material they might not have the time to show in the presentations. Each group will open a blog about the topic they are presenting. The topics are:

• Missile Crisis
• Panama Invasion
• Gulf War
• September 11^th
• Irak War
• Current Financial Crisis

There are 26 students divided into 4 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 5. Then, at the end of the term the students will be evaluated in oral exams. So, it is necessary for them to have the information of each topic. That is why my project is oriented to the sharing of information by blogs. Besides, creating a blog and feed it would provide meaningful learning.
