Our experience in the MyHero\u009d project. It was our second project in Learning Circles space and we wereglad to take part in it. At first my students were thinking over this theme forsome time, their ideas and thoughts seemed very interesting, because theirprojects reflect their inner world. For me, it was also interesting to know whothey consider a Hero and why they think so. It goes without saying the activitywas very useful for developing their English language skills. Thank you verymuch for all! Teacher...Irina Sakhatskaya
