2016-2017 school year projects (Spanish)

These are some of the projects done in my groups in Spanish last year:

- MIDDLE AGES ESTATE-BASED SOCIETY (2nd ESO)

The students worked in groups to learn about the different social groups in the Middle Ages. They studied the monarchs, the nobles, the clergy and the peasants. Later, they had to explain their discoveries to the rest of the classroom and they could dress up to do it. Here are some of the pictures.

MONARCHS

Hugo, Victoria and Salma.

Rocio, Adriana, Álex and José Manuel

NOBLES

Marta, David and Lorena

Diana, Lucía, Arturo and Mohamed

CLERGY

Daniel, Lucía and Anita

PEASANTS

 Laura, Adrián, Arancha and Inés

Beatriz, Choni, Pablo and Juan Miguel

- CITIES (2nd ESO)

The students had to reflect what they had learnt about urban landscapes. They could choose among designing a poster, building a model of one of the different types of city plans or the different parts of a specific type of city. These are some of the projects they did: 

 RADIOCENTRIC LAYOUT

 URBAN FUNCTIONS

POSTERS

GRID LAYOUT

IRREGULAR LAYOUT

- BOARD GAME ABOUT THE IBERIAN PENINSULA IN THE MIDDLE AGES (2nd BACHILLERATO)

Even if 2nd BACHILLERATO is a difficult year for the students, some of them did a voluntary project consisting of a board game about the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages. It was good to see them relaxed while playing, after a whole week of stress. 

Videos about some events of the High and Late Middle Ages

This project was made by 2nd ESO students. They worked in groups of 3 to 5 and prepared videos to explain some events of the High and Late Middle Ages. The contents of the videos were about some specific topics of the political and religious history of Europe in the High and Late Middle Ages:

The students prepared the scripts and drawings in class and recorded  and edited the videos at home.

Remembering the Black Death

Last day we reminded different concepts we studied last year, such as the big crisis in the 14th century and the more serious consequences of the Black Death plague in the Crown of Aragon. We also remembered that the high mortality caused by the Black Death allowed the people who survived to improve their working conditions. If you like to refresh you minds about the Black Death, here you have an interesting video. It´s been made by a group of U.S.A history teachers who use music and very famous songs to explain different history topics. In this case, they used Gwen Stefani´s song Holloback girl to explain the Black Death. It´s a good idea for a future project ;)

Here you have the link to the History Teachers´ channel on Youtube:
