NEW PROJECT: A LEAFLET OF MY FAVOURITE CITY OR TOWN IN BRITAIN

Hi guys!!!

An interesting project is coming. Follow the instructions and enjoy it!!!

This project is going to be planned in pairs and a group of threes. This time I will select the pairings.

The project is titled: " A LEAFLET OF MY FAVOURITE CITY OR TOWN IN BRITAIN".

First, make a research throughout the following page: www.aboutbritain.com

Second, choose with your partner a town or a city in that page.

Third, design a leaflet with the most attractive places to visit. To design your leaflet we will go to the computing room and I will explain how to do it so, do not worry. This leaflet must contain information about the places you have previously selected and pictures. The information should be written with your own words. Copy and paste from the Internet are not allowed.

Fourth, before handing your leaflet in to me, you should present your city or town orally to your classmates. Your leaflet and your oral presentation will be marked. Creativity and originality will be taken into consideration. Do your best!!! Deadline is 30th January.

See you!!!

NEW UNIT: ANIMALS!!!! UNDISCOVERED WORLD!!!

Dear students,

We start a new unit, quite interesting one, related to animals. I wonder if you like animals and if you have some pets at home. I do not have any pets but some friends of mine consider them as really important beings in their lives. 

Throughout this unit we are going to discover animals that you do not suspect they exist. You will see....Meanwhile, I would like you to make comments about how important animals are in your life or if you have any pets, just tell us how you behave with them and how they are. I´m looking forward to hearing your animals´stories.
