Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Today in class Nicola has shown you a nice presentation on Thanksgiving. Here is a funny advertisement. I'm sure you know who the people are. Would you like to go and see the parede?

Plymouth Colony

The other day we saw in class some interesting videos and slides about Plimoth Plantation, didn't we? We'll begin with our research on this topic. For this, you should follow these instructions carefully:

1. The members of each group will concentrate on the topic they have to study. They will read the information provided in the website (I'll give you the link).

2. Each group will briefly explain the information they have understood to the rest of the class, using plain English. For this presentation, they will also use the computer and the overhead projector.

3. Apart from the oral presentation, each group will post an article in this blog, summing up the main information.

4. The dates for each presentation will be agreed on in class.
