Form a group with 3 or 4 of your classmates.
You must have only one specialisation in each group.

● Set up and put the following information on your website:
○ School structure
○ Vision statement
○ School rules
○ Subject justification / teacher’s view of subject
Divide the tasks. Help each other. Watch the clock.
School structure
Your school is an international school somewhere in the Czech Republic. As such,
all classes (apart from languages) are taught in English. You need to decide:
● School name
● Uniforms
● Age/grade range (primary, ‘middle’ school, secondary school)
● Start/finishing times
● Anything ‘special’ about your school? - Keep it realistic!
Vision statement
What’s your school’s philosophy? What does it stand for? Why does it exist?
School rules
Complete the chart for students and teachers.
Teacher profile & subject justification
Example - feel free to write with your own style:
My name is Mr/Mrs/Ms Teacher and I am head of X. X is important because … In
their X lessons, students will … Students that do well in X may go on to become
astronauts, chefs, taxi drivers, etc etc

Add to your vocabulary.
