- Opening of the process Signs of the Times (one or two meetings?)
- Writing task (building knowledge -file)
- Teaching genres (two meetings)
- article + reportage and column + editorial
- Writing first versions
- Peer evaluation (a meeting)
- 2. Versions
- Teacher / English teacher evaluation
- Final versions to peda.net: 1st April (the latest)
- The first e-magazine published in May 2018
