Integrated Unit on Totalitarism

The last integrated unit of this school year was one on totalitarims, where the students had the chance to work in cooperative teams and dream about a different world, describe pictures, enjoy the final speech of the amazing film The Great Dictator and, as a final project, give voice to its trailer. 

They all did a wonderful job!

Here you can see the English worksheets:

Visiting the Cádiz of La Pepa

Once finished our didactic unito on La Pepa, we enjoyed a wonderful visit to Cádiz. The students did an excellent job as tourist guides, explaining the main monuments and historical events related to the Constitution of 1812. Congratulations!

All I Want for Christmas . . . Is You!

I hope you enjoy this song. You shouldn't just listen to it, but try to do something more challenging: Select the appropriate game mode for you (beginning or intermediate) and let me know how it was. Then, when you feel ready, press on the karaoke version . . . and have lots of fun!

Plymouth Colony

Once we see the interesting videos and slides about Plimoth Plantation we'll begin with our research on this topic. For this, you should follow these instructions carefully:

1. The members of each group will concentrate on the topic they have to study. They will read the information provided in the website (I'll give you the link).

2. Each group will briefly explain the information they have understood to the rest of the class, using plain English. For this presentation, they will also use the computer and the overhead projector.
3. The rest of the class will carefully listen to the speakers, asking for clarification when necessary. They will take notes on this worksheet.

4. Apart from the oral presentation, each group will post an article in this blog, summing up the main information.

5. The dates for each presentation will be agreed on in class.
