The most successful activity? Picture our song !!! Our classrooms look great with all that art you've got. You made pictures to each line of a song, so the wall "sings".

You're great artists and you can manage many computer tools like Power Point oor Movie Maker .

So click on the title and go to the wiki so you can take part on the Festival.

Enjoy, have fun and learn English.

Everybody visiting the blog is invited. You don't need to be my pupil.

Chat with a robot

Here is another funny activity.
Have you ever chatted with a robot?


Well, let's try. If you click on the image, you'll go to a programme where a smart lady answers you with audio and written words !!!
To my students from 1º and 2º secundaria. You have to ask her : her name, nationality,where she is from, job, favourite colour, age, where she lives. Then add it to comments with your name.
To my students from 9th : Ask her if she voted for Obama, any experience with "have you ever" ? And answer any questions she asked you. Write a report and add it to comments.
Good luck and get extra points for you second term's marks.
2nd Polimodal:
You're also invited to have fun. Ask the lady what you want and report questions and answers. Write your report in the comments' window. You can work by pairs if you want to.
A hug.

The first part of our activity is to explore and make comments on blogs written by people like you. Intermediate English students wanting to produce their own texts.

Don't click on the title, because Ronaldo's blog has been deleted. I kept the post anyway to save some of your comments.

Subservient Chicken

To my students of 2nd secondary B EAS and 2nd secondary Media 3 . Practice commands and have fun

As a matter of fact, if you click on the image you'll get the right page, subservient chicken .com, but the chicken doesn't want to perform our commands any more, you'll see the video and the complete story in a Burger King commercial. In that moment, a few years ago, it was a complete success , I'll keep the post as usual to save your production.

(Click on the image and give commands to the chicken. It will perform them for you !!!
As an example: Kneel, dance, turn the lights off, leave the room. Try another ideas and tell us.)

Have a great laugh , enjoy learning English !!! A hug.
Susana
