3. Once they have checked the links and read carefully all the information provided, they´ll have to tweet the main ideas. 4. Having read all the tweets they will have to choose an app to prepare a 5minute presentation about the specific topic using:

http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/voice-toddler-cards/17d296a5-27274f19-a2b3-065574269faa
5. Using comic maker they will have to create a comic whose aim must be to persuade society to look after water. If they choose the voice toddler cards, they will have to create a presentation to convince young learners the importance of water taking into account this application as an example.
6. We will all vote for the best!
7. It would be great to work together with the art teacher and use the art periods to make posters with the comics so that they can be placed all around the school. The aim is to convince the audience about the importance of water in everybody’s life. A message that cannot be forgotten.
8. Language work: we will ask students to read the following story:

And using all the information they will have to write a story . We will invite them to let their imagination fly!
