INSTITUTIONAL PROJECT 4th ESO: Visit to Oviedo, the Fine Arts Museum and Tour of "La Regenta"

On 29th October,  students in 4th ESO went on a school trip to Oviedo. There, they learnt many things about the city, the artworks in the Fine Arts Museum,  the story of the magnificent book written by Leopoldo Alas Clarín, "La Regenta" and the places in the city where the novel took place. 

They had some extra work for the English class: individually or in pairs, they had to prepare a video explaining some of the things they had learnt to an imaginary friend in the UK. Thus, they would practise their mediation skills. 

Here you have some of the best videos made by students. We asked them to be creative and they really were!

Take some time to watch them; you will probably learn something new about the city! We did!
