Our students from 2nd Polimodal are making their own blog. They're working with second conditional with questions such as:

What would you do if you were a president?

What would you do if you could travel in time?

Read the question on your right and try to answer. You're all invited to visit their blog by clicking on the title or on the photo , and leave your comments there.

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.

Poetry


Your teacher hasn't taken much poetry to the classroom, but songs are poems, you know.
Talking with Pablo Garcia, another teacher,the idea came to me. In fact he showed me a poem by Benjamin Zephaniah. I looked for him in Google and found a treasure!!!

Enjoy this example and go for more poems by him on the title.

Who's Who

I used to think nurses Were women,
I used to think policeWere men,
I used to think poetsWere boring,
Until I became one of them.

Watch the use of capital letters.
On this site, you can also find hundred of poems by many fantastic authors. Just have fun.

MirArte


Dear kids:

On holidays at last !!!! I wanted to share with you some beautiful things to see.

I made this blog with an art show we held in Del Valle's school. It's a public one.

We worked hard in Culturas y Estéticas Contemporaneas preparing this exhibition or art and visual perception.

It's in Spanish, of course. Enjoy it. It's a party for your eyes. And if you are bored you can play games or make models.

You can leave comments here or there

Play with words and feed the world


You can practice your vocabulary and play.
Sometimes you want to say something and you can't find the words. There are several ways to feed your brain with new words. Why don't you try this site?
More words you've got right, more rice they donate.
Great idea.!!!!
You don't need registration, just PRACTICE. It's a multiple choice exercise.

Pronunciation





When I asked some of you to leave a comment by recording on Voicethread...you were terrified.

The idea is to get confidence in oral production.

Write a short text, copy it and paste it here:

Natural Readers. and check how to say it.
Believe it or not, this software speaks your text

Mom's speech

A mom (Anita Renfroe) has condensed everything a mom might say to her kids in 24 hours into less than 3 minutes - to the tune of the William Tell Overture

It's got subtitles (I don't know what the other language is). It's really funny.
You have to choose one thing your Mum says and add it as a comment.
What don't you mind? What gets on your nerves?
By the way, the full transcription is on the first comment.
Have fun
Your teacher

Don't forget Tobas

As you know 9th course have got a project to help Tobas.
They need all our help.

You can bring some food or clothes. They have NOTHING so you can add plates or forks and knives or spoons , glasses and everything we use in our houses.

Don't forget. Bring your collaboration to school. Remember how lucky you are and share part of your "fortune".
Thanks.
