ENGLISH PROJECT

INTRODUCTION

This year our IES is one hundred years old (1908-2008). We are very happy about it. Our school has changed a lot throughout the century and education as well. The English Department wanted to join this celebration choosing as the topic of the Orator project the centenary. The idea was to do a trip along the century. And we really did it!
If we are given the grant, Huddersfield is going to be our destination, where we hope to widen our knowledge and probably see other different ways to understand education. This blog will be a witness of what we did and what we will do once there. We invite you to share our experiences here and there. Follow us!

Dear diary,

This morning we took the coach to Bradford where we visited the Industrial Museum. We saw a lot of different kinds of engines, old cars, old motorbikes and trains. Then we went to the back-to-back houses where people used to live. I took some photos.
In the afternoon, we did a TV workshop at the Film, Photography and Television Museum. I liked this trip because I learned how people lived a lot of years ago, for example they worked about 10 or 15 hours a day! In these mills, people had to talk using signs because of the noise. I had a really nice day.
