People from History

6th year students have been learning the Past Simple during the last month, and to put this grammar issue into practice, the have worked in a project about people👫 who were important in the history of humanity.  They read📖

about some historical characters in the classroom and took them as models to carry out this individual activity at home🏡.  The English lessons became History lessons, so we all learnt more about who invented television📺, who explored the South Pole🌎, who climbed the Everest 🌄for the first time or how Marco Polo travelled🐴 to China.  All in all, a nice trip into the past, and back.
