English Project - Second Semester - Mario and Dario 9B

For their main English project for the second semester. Mario and Dario of class 9B looked into the current state of electronics and technology. Together they have researched what is in the front end of todays 'must have' toys for the 'grown ups'. Mostly based on communications and phones the boys have covered the 'toys for the boys' well.

They used the PowerPoint to support their oral presentation rather than the other way around - well done. The information was well presented and interesting to follow.

But gentlemen... where is my Nokia E90? Surely it should be in with the front runners?
