The starting point of our project has been the reading of the book Knights and Castles, by David Maule.
The students had to complete a dossier with comprehension, grammar and vocabulary activities related to the book. The departments of History, English and Technology have worked together and did exercises in order to, not only students had to understand the book, but also to improve the skills involved in each subjects.
We read some of the chapters in class and some of them were homework.
