We are making progress!

Hi! How are you?

After a long time, finally, all groups from Portugal decided to start working seriously.
And you?

For the third week, we met on a Wednesday afternoon to work on our projects. 
We’re very tired, but, we did several things and we shared so many ideas!

We organized action plans, and decided what we wanted to do.

For example, my group (Green Magazine) has set goals.
We spent an afternoon thinking about the content (news and interviews) of the magazine. We created the index (available below) and we also though it could be nice to have puzzles, quizzes…
We used the concept of “interesting magazine”. Something attractive, that doesn’t make the reader feel bored while reading.

Now, we need a layout. 

Anyone has any suggestions?

While working in our project, we also had a look to what other groups were doing.
They’re really striving!




And you? 

I’m sure you’re also doing your work. Won’t you share any photos/information?
