It will focus lessons around students' interests to make learning more attractive and intense. The document outlines the new brand vision, mission, personality and expressions that communicate the rebranding internally and externally.
4. Every story has a turning point. Is its climax, when the
narrative becomes more intense and emotional.
In a detective story, for instances, it’s usually that special
moment when all the facts had been established and the
mystery can be solved. If it’s a comedy, things will have
gone badly for the main character up to the point when the
tide will turn and everything will go with the flow.
But if the story is about getting it all figured out in English
and things are already running for the best, the only
possible change is towards a higher level of
self-consciousness.
So here we are, taking Britannia into a higher stage, bigger
in size, to reach even more Brazilians, and better in
teaching to make English get on their minds.
This is the story of Britannia
turning point to cool minds.
