Hello, my friends!!
This time I want to suggest you an idea that might seem strange at first sight but still implementable. Anyway take you time to read throughout all my suggestions and maybe you will find it rather possible than not by the time you finish to read)
First consider how many times you walked out in our town and saw people smile. Almost never. Not because they can’t do it or don’t want to do it. Simple when a person is somewhere out, he/she is in a big hurry to manage to do all the stuff he/she planned.
What if I tell you that it is in your power to make your town a more pleasant place to live in through only bringing a small piece of warmth and care to every person you se around.
So, here what project I suggest we should start and as a result witness thousands of smiles around:
1) A list of rules of behavior considered within the local comunity and list of issues related to lack of behavior2) A list of ideas how to solve these problems and formed groups of students
3) Audio, video and photos from the considered places representing a report about the situation at the current moment
4) Posters, audio and video records of students’ work at troublesome places
5) Voicethread presentation describing the project implementation from the initial to the final steps in details.
For any additional information feel free to contact me through sending email or leaving comments to tjis asignment.
Good luck in your first project))
