    1. Hello, Martina. I'm sorry to answer so late, but I was out. Yes, the project is in English as we said in class. I know it's more work, but as I showed you in my example, you have to do a summary of every section in English because that is the language in which we learn Social Sciences. If you cannot print it again, just bring a pendrive with the document and we'll print it in school. I'm very excited to see what you found out about your family history!
