Introduction

English V is the last course of this area and we would like to have a special activity: to post a blog. Therefore, this semester you are going to prepare a blog about a tourism project which will be exposed as well.
The idea is to select an area in our country which you consider you can prepare a proposal to improve this specific area through a project.You should use one of the projects you have worked in other courses. This will be developed in groups of 4 students.  
First you have to choose an area in Peru where you can propose activities to improve it.  Then you will post as in the schedule the information required.
This activity will generate two evaluations directly to the record and to be averaged with the other exams, P3 (blog) and TP3 (exposition of the blog).
