| Classroom activities combining use of the Internet for research and oral presentations Teacher's Notes The activities below, developed by Agnieszka Gawlik with the help of Barbara Kapusta, are planned for two 45-minute lessons. The materials can be used in cross-curriculum teaching (European education) in either a gimnazjum or a liceum.

Step 4 Students use the internet to do the tasks above. Step 5 The teacher makes sure that each group has six questions altogether (two questions from each group).
