Working on Australia's Mini-Project

Students are working on the design of the new Mini-Project, Australia. The objectives are to get to know the history, geography, landscapes, animals and celebrities of this English speaking country which belongs to the Commonwealth.
Through the use of two dossiers of information and ICT, students did a research that later they summarized in 10 questions that they had to include in a poster.
In the meanwhile, students learnt about Australian cultural related terms, such as the Outback and the Aborigines through the movie Australia by Baz Luhrmann.

Here you have an ouline of the Mini-Project:
