How We Use Rivers and the Human Impact On Them.

Rivers are used differently around the world; for transport, cleaning, leisure. How are rivers used in your area/country? What effect does this human activity on the river? Does it cause pollution? What is the impact on the river as a habitat/ecosystem?

Rivers and Natural Disasters

Rivers are very useful to us, however they can cause huge damage and destruction. You could include some facts about damage caused by rivers in your country.

Hi Cristina, The project work your students have submitted is fantastic. Thank you to you and them for your enthusiasm! For information today there’s been another presentation about the Danube added to the project from The Kyiv P Tychyna Gymnasia 191, in the Ukraine. Also, you might be interested in Tristan’s new project called Animal Adventures - an international, cross curricular animal project. It looks like it would be a lot of fun for your students. http://www.elanguages.org/49412 Best wishes Chris

Thank you
