INTERVIEWING PILGRIMS IN TEIS. 1st ESO students from the bilingual section
And finally the last video! My students are interviewing pilgrims in TEIS on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The activity took place on June 6th but a lot of work had been done before and a bit more had to be done afterwards. Their last oral exam was to tell me what they had found out about the people they had interviewed. Please, have a look at all the process in the video. I hope you will enjoy it.
It has been great to be your teacher this year!
