Good Morning everyone,
Do you remember what we did in class? We started working on a short story (link to the file in the Class Calendar pdf) in groups and you really performed well.
What are you supposed to do now? To continue the story of course!
Look for the COMPITO activity where you find all the instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- choose 3 people per group (it would be really interesting if you could mix the groups STB-STP to have different approaches and perspectives).
- each group must have at least one device, tablet or laptop to work on Google Docs.
- select the problem you would like to solve and try to bear in mind the question 'HOW MY EDUCATION AND FUTURE CAREER COULD HELP?'
- we are going to use the Conditionals, Wish, If Only.
Remember that you should have all the groups formed BEFORE coming to class because we are going to start working on this topic at 9.
