English Speaking Countries Webquest

You are going to do a webquest about an English speaking country. As I told you in class, you'll be divided in groups of 4 to work as a team all year around. To see what you have to do, click on the River Thames.

Internet Project

Task: After watching both clips you have to prepare an oral explanation about the meaning of its lyrics and what you think the singer is trying to tell us. I'll let you know the date for this activity on Monday.

You can visit wikipedia if you need some help.

Remember to write down the new vocab.

Movember me!

Movember is a month-long event celebrated every year around the world. Instead of running or walking to raise some money, men grow

moustaches. Movember Foundation charity raise funds for men's health issues ( for example, prostate cancer or depression).

There is a kind of competition, I'll write some rules:

1) You must begin Nov 1st with a clean shaven face.
2) Your mo mustn´t join or touch your sideburns ( patillas) because it would be considered a beard.

Let me introduce you to a friend of mine who is growing his own mo. ( Some of you might have seen him in Broadstairs). We'll see at the end of the month how big it can get!

By the way, for those who love music, click on the picture below.

Please, contribute with your parents or friends!! See you there

Halloween!!!

You have nearly a whole episode of this cartoon called Phineas and Ferb. Watch it and tell me if you prefer American to British English...

Welcome students!

Hi there,

As I said in class, your homework was to write down the grammar. Here it is...
Present Simple vs Continuous

Haced "click" en la foto donde aparece el libro de este año ( margen derecho). Tenéis que descargar e instalar el programa ( downloadable activities) en vuestro ordenador. Hay muchas actividades para hacerlas online (autocorregibles) para que podáis practicar la gramática, el vocabulario y el listening de acuerdo a la unidad estudiada.

Have fun!!

SEE YOU LATER, JAMES

I´ve been told today that you´re leaving us.That's sad news!

Let me dedicate the last song to you. Can I?

LONG TIME NO WRITE

In case you haven´t noticed...it´s September! In less than 2 weeks, you´ll be enjoying more lessons at school. Isn´t this nice? Hope all of you had had enough time to rest this summer and are ready to learn moreeeeeeee.

short Stories

Here you have a selection of very small stories to read when on holiday. They are quite easy, a good way to learn more vocabulary for next year...Some of them have audios so it's like killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?

The Archers

The best way to improve your listening skill is by listening...
Click on the link at the bottom and listen to a brand new chapter every day( well, on week days, I think ). You can download them onto your mp3, Ipod, mobile or computer...and listen to them while sunbathing.

The Archers is a long-running British soap opera, which began in the 1950s. I like it a lot because it´s so well produced, every little sound is recorded...the birds, cars, every noise to make it, if possible, more real! Besides the English spoken is fairly understandable.

HUCKLEBERRY FINN

If you liked what you´ve seen so far...go to youtube and continue watching...

To know more about this incredible adventurous novel written by Mark Twain...search on "wikipedia".

One of the main characters in "The Lord of the Rings" is also one of the main ones here.

Let me give you a piece of advice...
1) Go to the kitchen, make yourself some nice pop-corn
2) Go to your lounge and sit on a comfy sofa,dim light...
3) Put all your senses while watching because there are no subtitles. SORRY!
4) Last but not least...ENJOY!
