Blanca's report:
"The main topic we were talking about in yesterday class was stereotypes. In the first part, we were trying to guess in groups the countries of origin of five people that we saw in some pictures. After that, we listened to thESE five people talking about their countries and telling the main stereotypes about their country's people and which of them they considered were misconceptions and why.
On the other hand, in the second part of the class, we filled in a little questionnaire with different ideas about stereotypes and we decided which of them we agreed with. Moreover, we saw a funny scene of the film "French kiss" and later we were talking and answering some questions about it"
3RD Day Report : Luis' report
We have been talking about stereotypes today. Because of that we performed a (play role) ROLE-PLAY ubr really a pairwork exercise, in which we shared different opinions, after analizing some people’s pictures. Afterwards, we listened to a short speech of each person of the picture talking about stereotypes. Then, we have been discussing this point with other classmates for several minutes.
The following activity consisted OF making a questionare in order to confront our points of view with a partner. Later on, we reviewed many words and expresions that we had been using throughout the class.
After the break, a few minutes of a film and some exercises related to it spent almost all the time left.

2. Then we will do the exercise on British and American stereotypes and the song Englishman in NY, which we didn't do yesterday since we did the movie scene instead. they are on the previous post for 3rd Day.
3. This is the post I told you about. Please try to look at it at home and follow the steps. I'm about to try to paste it here:
Etta James, a a famous American R+B singer just died..
Unfortunately, the original version by Etta James is unavailable due to copyright issues, but we can listen to the version by Beyoncé as she sang it playing Etta James in Cadillac Girls
At last : click here
Write down as much as you understand without listening to the lyrics AND THEN LOOK AT THE LYRICS.
Now look at this photo. CLICK HERE
What is the connection between it and the song, "At Last"? When and where was it taken? If you don't know the answer, search for it. (You don't have to read the article, which except for the caption under the picture, does not answer the question.)
What adjectives or other words would you use to describe this photo? How does it make you feel? What thoughts do you have about it? Write OR plan to say 100 words. That's all!
First of all we were talking about the film that we watched yesterday and then we did our own film, using more or less the same guide that the "real" film and interpretting the characters. Then we continue with the differences and stereotypes between British and American people and their common vocabulary, listening an Sting song called "Englishman in New York".
ResponderEliminarAfter the break, we listened a Beyonce song called "At Least" and we saw an Obama`s picture dancing with his wife and we talked about the relationship between the lyrics of the song and the picture.
Finally we discussed about republic and monarchy and found some genres of movies and an example of each one.
Maybe i forget something...i am sorry.
