STORY JUMPER FINAL TASK (LOOKING FOR A JOB)

The reason I've chosen storyjumper again is because it has been one of the new apps this course has taught me about and therefore I've chosen to become a little bit more familiar with it. The intention is to ask my 1st of ESO students to creat their own and to later present it to their classmates.

How to Get to Mars.

President Obama speaking at UN General Assembly: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: 'Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.' Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them."
