Proyecto de trabajo multidisciplinar "La Industrialización, el siglo XIX"

Este es un proyecto de trabajo en grupo en colaboración con distintos departamentos de un hipotético curso de 4º de la ESO. El departamento de inglés en colaboración, entre otros, con los departamentos de Valenciano, Historia e Informática va a realizar la siguiente actividad:

1. Visionado de la película "Gulliver's Travels" de 1 hora y 12 minutos de duración.
2. Exposición de un resúmen en Power Point sobre la película (trabajo en equipo)

Antes de llevar a cabo dicha actividad, en el área de historia han tratado el tema de los viajes de descubrimiento en el siglo XIX y su importancia, y en el área de lengua valenciana habrán visto los rasgos más importantes del romanticismo. En las clases de informática les habrán explicado cómo organizar un Power Point.

En sus casas, podrán repasar la película pinchando en el siguiente enlace:
