The research project is a compulsory work that every student of Batxillerat has to do to get the Batxillerat certificate. The topic for that work is free and it can be written in four different languages: Catalan, Spanish, English or French.
As I said, we decide our own topic, but we all have to follow the same structure: start with an introduction, follow with a body of the work and finish with some conclusions.
Many students think that’s a waste of time and they complain that Catalonia is the only place of Spain where the students have to do this type of work before going to the university.
In my opinion, the research project is very useful for us if we see it in the way of learning how to look for the information in a historical archive, for example, or how to do experimental analysis; or in the way of improving our writing and knowledge. Actually, the objective of doing that work is to be able to do others similar investigations in the university.
In my case, I’ve chosen an historical research, more precisely, I've decided to talk about Fortianell.
Fortianell is a kind of a big house and is also the place where I live. It has been many things since 1849, when the relatives of the actual owners bought the property, until now. I’ve divided the work in four periods. The main part is the Spanish Civil War period, when the building was used as a French novitiate (it was rented to French friars). I put emphasis on it because is where there is less bibliography information. That means I’ve had to look for unpublished information, in other words, in that part I’ve done the research.
Now, I’m finishing the writing because in three weeks I’ll have to give it to my teachers.
This is Fortianell:
