This is the first lesson in this course and we have to remind our pupils who we work with in this english project. They have to know that they have friends around Europe and that we'll comunicate each other during the course in order to learn english. So the first lesson will talk about different places and cities in relation with the schools that are involved in this project. Our pupils will travel around Europe on a magic carpet!
