Final: We will take into account the attitude, class work, homework, and participation.

DIVERSITY
Further work
- Reinforcement:In this case students with lower levels will work with other students that can help them. The teacher will give them extra help and will evaluate them taking into account their level.
- Advance:Those students will help other classmates with difficulties or with lower level.
COMMENTS:
It is a very interesting project because students need to change their mind and do more practical lessons.
They will work the communicative and the artistic competence while they are having a good time with their mates and they will combine two things that they really like: TV and famous people.
