Learning disabilities

For this new project I have to do research on a learning disability. The disability I chose is Nonverbal Learning disability. I will write an essay from about 500 word and as a final result I will make an infographic. You can read my essay on my other page: Learning Disabilities.

Britain’s Colonial Past.

For this project I have to do research about the British colonial past. Each student of our  class had to pick one country, that was a colonie of Britain. The country I chose is ‘Zambia’. I am going to write about the history, geography, economie, why Britain wanted the counrty and how they ruled the country. After all the research I have to give a presentation from about 5 minutes.

Check my page: ‘Britain’s Colonial Past’ for Information.

Animal Farm.

For this new project I have to read the book: Animal Farm. I have to become a specialist of one aspect of the book. For example you can become a specialist about the protagonist.  After this I have to do a presentation about my aspect ( presentation of 2 minutes ). We have to make one prezi with the whole class. Everyone has to make a bit of the presentation about their own aspect and add it in the prezi. At least I have to make a diary ( 1500 ) in witch I give my views and opinions on the novel I am reading. You can read by diary on my other page.

Kings and Queens of Britain.

For this new project I have to work together with my classmate. We have to tell something about a king or queen of Britain. Our teacher told us that the combination of John Lackland and Richard I is very interesting. We have to make a documentary about five minutes. So here is a little documentary about our project!
