On this post of "English@Edrissis"
we are glad to share a Project about this song 
"Rolling in the Deep", 
carried out by one of our Students:

SIRALL ABDEL-LAH CHOUATI, 

a 18-year-old student of English
in Secondary Education for Adults
(March, 2020).

It is an excellent example 
of a Good Educative Practice 
in our English Classroom
at CEPA "Edrissis", Ceuta (Spain).


                                                                                                                                                                                                   Photo by JC

On his own  words, 
this piece of work fulfills all the objectives foreseen
 in the development of this task-based project:

"Resulta interesante trabajar la lengua inglesa
haciendo uso  de la música y teniendo que elaborar un proyecto 
utilizando el ordenador a través de búsquedas guiadas en Internet.

En definitiva, es una manera diferente de trabajar, 
que nos acerca a algo que nos gusta a todos 
y con lo que convivimos cada día, la música."

                                                            Sirall

As an example of the combination of the use of MUSIC in ENGLISH
and the different selected tools on INTERNET, this is the final product...
The Project "ROLLING IN THE DEEP" by Sirall...

Hope you like it!

Today, March 8th, is the International Women's Day 2020,
but equal rights for women should be present all year round.

Every day is March 8th!!

In our opinion, there are some Key-words:
RESPECT, TOLERANCE & EQUALITY.

Because,
 for a real EQUALITY, 
RESPECT and TOLERANCE
are crucial.


Do you know the song "RESPECT" 
and the history of that song?

It is worthwhile
