My ancestors

Hello everyone,

Let me introduce you to a project that the school as a whole is taking part into: "My ancestors".

The different groups of foreign languages students will undertake activities related to their ancestors. The foreign languages department has decided to promote these activities because we think that the backgrounds of each of the students as individuals are very interesting. Therefore we all will be able to learn from them if we share.

To start with, Batxillerat first year students are meant to choose a charismatic member of their family. That relative of yours can be dead or alive. What I mean here is: if you really feel like knowing a bit more about someone who has passed away, please go ahead.

We are aiming to learn about the lives of our ancestors, to write our very own history.

Once you have chosen the relative of yours that you want to talk about, please let us know why. This will be the first activity: write around 100 words about your ancestor telling us why you have chosen him or her.

It is very important that you do all the writings for this project in digital format: PC word-processed, saved for further use. Why is that? Because this way you can compile all the information you'll need to create the final paper or video, without having to type it all over again.

We are trying to work out the project's final format, which will also depend on your commitment.

Nevertheless, I'm sure it will come out wonderfully. Of course I'll also do mine. As a matter of fact I am thinking who to choose, too.

I'm looking forward to knowing more about you, guys.
