International volunteering: Camps

Would you like to volunteer but you don't know how? Here is an official site (INJUVE, Ministerio de Sanidad Consumo y Bienestar Social) where you can find a wide offer of camps all over the world. Unluckily, you need to be 18 to apply but, who knows, maybe next year!!

Storybird

I would like you to create a picture book with the short stories you wrote, which are, by the way, really nice.
We will use an app called storybird (computer).
-Go to storybird and create an account. (free trial)
-Once you have created your account, click on "Your stuff" - "Classes" - "Join a class" (I´ll send some of you by email the code to enter the class; please, share it on whatsapp)
-Go to "Write" - "Picture Book".
-Click on "All". You will see lots of drawings. Select any of them.
-Start writing your story:
   -You will need a title and a picture for your cover. Also write your name.
   -Add new pages (miniatures, bottom of the page)
   -Write your short story in different pages, as many as you consider necessary. Add a picture to             each page. You just need to drag the pictures on both sides to see other pictures underneath.               Choose those that are suitable for your story.
     If you need to erase any page, place the cursor on the top left corner of the miniature (you will           see  an "x")
-When you finish your story, save and exit.
-Submit to teachers (1 Bach A 2019). You must submit your story by May 3rd.
-Publish.
