Hello,
As the next year 2nd Eso are reading the story of CORALINE, I show you this trailer, just to draw your attention in the story, I suppose some of you have already seen the film, but it's just to motivate your curiosity. Watch them and try to understand what they say. Just for fun.

The story of stuff

Hello,

Watch the video on the site below. I found it surfing the net, it exposes the connection between a huge number of environmental issues. It'll teach you something and it may make you change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
We'll talk about it in September and we will learn a lot together.

See you soon

More activities about Thanksgiving Day

Hi Kids,
The following is a good revision of what we did about Thanksgiving

Introduction.

When we study a language we are studying about the people who speak it and their culture, society, history…

Festivities are important to understand cultural features. For this reason we are going to learn a bit more about Thanksgiving Day.

Questions.

1. Where is it celebrated?

2. When is it celebrated?

3. How do they celebrate the Thanksgiving Day?

4. Which are the Thanksgiving Day symbols?

5. What do they eat in this festivity?

6. Who does The President pardon in this celebration?

7. What do they express with this celebration?

Process

First of all read all the questions. Then, you should work in groups of four. Then answer the questions. And finally prepare an oral exposition to answer the big question. Be careful with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency.
