Simpsons video link: conv. B1 M-W and B2 Tu--Thurs

Hi,

Jiust realized I made a mistake and the B2 who I asked to see this during vacation was the Tues. -Thurs. group cause the M -W group still hasn't seen and discussed Facebook. Tu- Th group please print the exercise, at least the discussion questions.

Most of you haven't seen - or tried to see the Simpsons' video clip I think cause only one student told me the link didn't work.

Here's a valid one.

Here is the link -  http://www.putlocker.com/file/BE6D22B8A8742059#. Just made it directly "pinchable" from here!

Apparently there are some pop up ads but you can skip them! Watch and enjoy-- And do the exercise posted previously.

I hope you are enjoying your Easter vacation.

I just got an email from Bea which made me remember I haven't posted the homework for you.

It is pp. 36 and 37.

I also told you I would post one of the best projects I eer received to give you possible ideas.  It's a puppet show based on an original version of Little Read Riding Hood ( and our classes.)

Here it is.  Hope you enjoy it.

There are some questions for students AND FINALLY  information about dates and tickets for our Madrid Players production.

   Hi there! This is the 13th of March summary:
   The classroom began with questionnaires that we handed in to her last week and we corrected some mistakes.
   Kate told us that most of us wanted to improve the listening and the key is the emphasis on important words.
   We continued comparing in pairs the photocopy of “What are you like?” and discussed the results that we have obtained and therefore which kind of person we can live with.
   Then, with the projector, we learnt when to put:
   WHAT or WHERE … enjoy DOING/GOING …?
   And we practiced:
   -WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING ON A HOT SUMMER DAY?
   -IT’S NICE GO TO THE SWIMMING POOL AND GET TANNED
   We studied the following collocations to answer:
   enjoy
   I like + GERUND
   Hate
   
   It’s nice + INFINITIVE
   
   Then, we learnt how to distinguish between two words which sound the same but have different meaning, like cat-cut. Besides, we learnt the different vowels’ phonetic.Note: CAT AND CUT DO NOT SOUND THE SAME CAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT VOWEL SOUNDS -KATE
   Later, we heard two listening about a house rent and its features.
   Finally, we practiced in pairs the typical dialogue in which someone wants to rent a house.
   See you on Wednesday!
