EMOJI PROJECTS!

Dear Bretonians, we've finally got the results of your work ....COMPUTING AND ENGLISH PROJECT

These were  the GUIDELINES FOR YOUR PROJECT:
  • Make a two-student group
  • Create a three- minute presentation 
  • Relate a whole story just using emoticons: A story, a song, a fairytale, a news report, a biography, an invention, the school, anything you consider "emojitold"; 
  • You can record your presentation using the whiteboard in your Computer Lab; we think creating a video would make you feel more confident when telling the story.
  • Make sure audio controls work properly.
  • If you consider using another system will work, let us  know!
  • Intonation will be very important!
  • Further details will be provided by María Vaquero
