Reflexion on the implementation for improvement: It was a very fun and exciting project for all students . Whether that has had to extend the initial sessions prepared to cover some of the many concerns of students . This has caused the number of sessions exceeds that we thought and the teachers have had to adapt some of the intended activities. Students have wanted to build and play a volcano erupting , and for that we had to ask for help from the art teacher. Probably the teacher would ask more time for projects like this . Students enjoy and are motivated and teachers is difficult to say no to some propose. Finally we are very happy with all the work that has been done. Students have learned much English vocabulary (unknown to them since today) and they have extended knowledge on a very attractive issue for them. They could clearly make an oral presentation in front of their collegues on a summary of what was learned.
