The steps to follow are:

1) Decide with your group your setting and the story you want to tell the classroom

2) You and your mates are going to be the main characters of this story which could be real or not, so select or choose photos of yourself to be included at your comic.

Good luck guys and hope you enjoy this project!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP WON THE AMERICAN ELECTIONS!!!

Hi everybody!!!

Did you follow last TV news about American  Elections. Finally, Trump won and we would like to live this result with some hope and credibility... however, we feel some fear to know how Trump´s background can influence decisions and how these decisions can be taken in a crazy way....having global consequences. Good luck Americans, good luck world!!!!

Anyway, I would like to know your own opinion about these results. Probably you do not like politics but in any aspect of our life we are influenced by it...so what is your point of view about this situation. Let us know... I will be more than happy to discuss these aspects with you in class. Do not forget watching this video with different opinions about the future coming from Trump and Clinton supporters. 

BFN!!!
