Drag the animals into the scene , when you finish you get a card. If you click on it , you get complete information about that animal. You have to print it , make a small poster and bring it to class to explain it to your mates.

"You're great" campaign




We saw this great video in class. We started thinking about the power of our words. Why don't we give a compliment instead of waiting for one??

In several situations we are aware of the possitive qualities of people around us, but we don't usually say it.

Making compliments is going to be our aim !!!

1- Enter this page to know why it is so important

2- You've got a mate drawing to make him/her a compliment

3- Read the instructions and choose the words and phrases you need .
Decide what you like about the mate you're going to compliment. Check the list for ideas.

4-Prepare a draft to check

5- Enter to this Voicethread , register and leave your COMPLIMENT !!!

People's appearance

"Don't judge a book by its cover", somebody said. Click on the title or on the picture to see Susan singing.This is the most seen video in the whole history of YouTube.

Listen carefully her introduction before singing. Watch people's faces while she's speaking.
What was she asked? What did the judges say at the end?
Leave a comment with your opinion about what you saw or heard, something you want to share.
You can also read the comments on YouTube. There are a lot of different opinions, awful expressions and wonderful ones. If you take some from there use inverted commas , because it isn't YOUR opinion, and name the author or source.

See you in class.
Susana
