CV- Historical Europass


Have you ever wondered what Galileo's curriculum would have been like? Or Marie Curie's? Or Napoleon's? Europass has thought of an original way to make students between 14 and 18 learn how to write a CV while deepening on the aptitudes and biography of a historical character they admire. 


The jury will consider both creativity and historical coherence. Therefore, accuracy regarding both the biodata of the chosen character and  the different sections of the CV within Europass platform will be taken into account.

You can download the template of the European CV and a series of video tutorials from here.

If your students decide to take part, they have to send their CVs in pdf format together with the registration template (Anexo 1) to the following e-mail address: 

europass@sepie.es (Asunto: CV histórico

If students' CVs are chosen, they will be invited to Infoday Europass in Madrid and they will also enjoy public acknowledgement of their work. 

Everything you need to know in order to take part in Historical Europass can be found in this document.

Sooner than later, our students will have to create a real CV when they start searching for a job so we may as well start teaching them how to write this document to present their skills and qualifications effectively and clearly. Why not start with what this  historical CV Europass suggests ? 

Presentations for every content area: teachers' models and students' presentations

In our last seminar session, we were talking about assessing students in our CLIL contexts and many of you commented that your students are delivering oral presentations on a specific topic using ppt or prezzi. Therefore, I am writing to let all of you know about www.worldofteaching.com. You can download a huge number of Powerpoint presentations for free on a variety of subjects. If you wish, you can also upload your own presentations so as to share thenm with teachers from around the world. ANother good site to search for presentations on different subject is this one.

A similar website that is specific for History and Global Studies is Power Point Palooza.

All these  sites can be very useful when you have not  got enough time to build your own slideshow orto look through for ideas for creating your own slideshows. 

For History teachers, Tom Richey has wonderful PowerPoint presentations and hundreds of useful videos in his youtube channel.

If you need a tool to assess students' Powerpoint presentations, I would like to share this one with you.

If you are interested in a rubric to assess students' oral presentations following a different format from ppt, this one can help you.
