How we did it

Choosing the topic After some brainstorming and discussion (some in English, some in Italian) the students decided for a survey on the use of electronic communications tools among the members of the class.

 

Deciding on what to do The students planned to do the following:
Workloads & organization The class was divided into groups, each group was responsible for one aspect of the whole project: some would word process, some would work on Excel, others were in charge of writing a draft report, and so on.

The idea was to exploit each student's  best skills - even if some would not use much English during the project.

It was also agreed that the work had to follow a number of steps, that were as follows (please click here to see chart)

 

Use of English It was agreed that English should be used as much as possible during discussions and also during the computer work (to a certain extent), and it was of course mandatory for all the written parts.

As a matter of fact not all stuck to this principle, but some did (at least, when the teacher was around!).
