The European Union

This is a big topic, so we are just going to briefly discuss some aspects. The classroom tasks will give you a better understanding, but you will have to do some research for your blogs. You may have heard on the news about the crisis in the eurozone, so on your blog write briefly about one of the countries most affected and what measures are being taken.

Education

Following the classroom discussion, use your notes and your own experience to write about the differences between the system in your country and the UK. Try to find more references sources and include these in your blog.
