Description
Through this activity students will get to know the world heritage sites of Unesco and their selection criteria. But the main goal is to create a multimodal text , using digital applications and tools, such as images, posters, videos, etc., in order to inform their peers about the monument they have chosen and arouse their interest to visit it, virtually or in real time. The role of the teacher will be actively supportive, encouraging students to take initiative. It attempts to actively engage students in the learning process through collaboration and research in order text study and choose digital tools (both synchronous and asynchronous).
Procedure on how to put in practice

- the teacher directs students to the Unesco website and the list of the world heritage sites.
- the teacher announces the topic of their project: to choose one of the monuments and advertise it to their classmates with a multimodal text.
