Ins Torre del Palau project site.
In Torre del Palau, teachers base their materials on culture from the language at hand. However, we do use a book to lead "Batxillerat" courses to help them on their final goal, "Selectivitat." Despite being a much more "formal" teaching, "batxillerat" courses also have their place to have fun with culture and literature. Here you have some examples.
We hope you like it.

OTHER HIDDEN FIGURES PROJECT
After watching the film "Hidden Figures" to celebrate the International Women's Day, 1st Batxillerat students have been doing a group project. They've gathered some information about some female "Hidden" figure of their choice , have designed a poster and prepared an oral exposition about them. Here are some of the posters they've designed. All of them will be exposed on our school walls for a few days so that the rest of students in Torre del Palau can read them and learn about those very important but mostly unknown female figures.
THE READING PROJECT
Our 1st Batxillerato students must choose one of the books proposed. They will be able to choose among 5 different titles depending on their level of English. Later, they'll work in groups writing lists of vocabulary and also writing two or three questions of comprehension for each chapter of the book. Finally, their own questions and vocabulary will be revised and will be used in the test they will finally take at the end of the term.
