Much more multicultural Britain

This time you are going to follow a link which will lead you to an activity called TREASURE HUNT. The treasure is knowledge, so you don't need to arrive first....

You have to answer the questions that are written on the left hand side of the page. The first seven are quite concrete, the last three will make you think longer and are more subjective.

You will find the information on the links on the right hand side of the page.

Answer in writing but you don't need to hand the page in, we will discuss your conclussions in class.

Have it ready for tuesday 17th nov.

We will keep on learning about that too, but .....do you know anything about who came to the British islands and when?
Click here and look at this presentation called "Coming to Britain".
Write down the different people that succesively arrived in Britain , when they came, why and possibly what they did.

Andrea's profile

Hey I'm Andrea. I was born in Madrid sixteen years ago, seventeen in February. I live in a flat with my parents and my brother. I'm studying first year of bachillerato and in the future I want to be at the university studing publicity. My favourite subjet is English, someday I want to speak english as well as I speak Spanish. I have a normal stature, strange hair and my eyes aren't brown, they're more like honey (I like them!).
I like travelling very much, I also like photography. But what I like the most in the world is music, I can't live without it. I really like "Simple Plan" "Jonas Brothers" "All Time Low" "Taylor Swift" "Fall Out Boy" "Justin Bieber" etc etc etc.... Another thing that I like is to be with my friends. On fridays and also on weekends I spend all my free time with them. Friends are one of the best things that every single person can have. Sometimes it's difficult to know who is a true friend and who isn't, but, when you know it, you feel really good.
And...that's all! xoxo
Andrea
