3RD YEAR BILINGUAL: MY SHORT STORY

In the third term you are going to read some short stories by Edgar Allan Poe and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.Then, you will have to write a brief review.

Click on the picture for more information.

A BOOK/SERIES REVIEW (2nd Bach.: third term speaking task))

This term you will have to prepare a presentation, using the app VOICETHREAD (or any other you know that allows you to record yourself at the same time that we can see some images related to the topic) . Here you have a TUTORIAL on how to use the app (although most of you are already familiar with it) and the RUBRIC I will use to assess your work. Once you finish it, you just need to send me the link. 

And what will the presentation be about? You know that one of the best ways to improve your English is to read. So that  the first option: READ A BOOK IN ENGLISH. It should preferably be an original version; if too difficult, remember that the minimum level should be an adapted version for 2nd bach or a B2 level. Remember that the school library has many books. 

For those who are not so keen on reading, there is a second option: your presentation can be about a TV SERIES OR FILM SAGA (provided that you watch it in English 😉!). Again, watching tv series is an excellent way to improve your skills. 

You can send it whenever you want from now onwards. The deadline is 26th April. 

Students who don't send a presentation before that date will have to do the presentation in class, using a Power Point or any other type of presentation (Prezzi, Powtoon, Genially...) to support it. In this case I will use the RUBRIC the school has created to evaluate oral presentations. 

Good luck!!

A BOOK REVIEW (4th ESO) - THIRD TERM SPEAKING

BILINGUAL GROUP

As we have agreed in class, this term, each student is going to choose the book in English he/she wants to read. I think that you will enjoy it much more if it is a  book you are really looking forward to reading. However, you can also read any adapted version (minimum level 4th ESO or B1) or even the book recommended by the department: The curious case of Benjamin Button (Ed. Burlington Books - Activity Series). 

Once you finish reading it, you will have to make a presentation about it, but using a new app, VOICETHREAD, that allows you to record your voice, upload music, videos, etc. I'll show you an example in class. 

You can find information about how to use it in this tutorial:

VOICETHREAD TUTORIAL

And here you have the necessary elements your presentation should include: 

A BOOK REVIEW RUBRIC


NON-BILINGUAL GROUP

You also have to read a book and record a presentation about it, using the app VOICETHREAD and the tutorial. The book you have to read is the one recommended by the Department for the level:

Channel to the Future, by Sandra Sherwood (Ed. Burlington Books; Activity Series).

Here you have the rubric I am going to use to assess your presentation:

A BOOK REVIEW RUBRIC (NON-BILINGUAL GROUP)

The deadline to send your voicethreads is 10th May. Remember that meeting deadlines is important 😉!!!

3º ESO UNIT 4: USES OF GET

BREAKING UP WITH PLASTIC!

Some students who are taking part in the SHARE project are designing a campaign to make people aware of the serious damage caused by the tons of plastic which end up in the ocean every year. One of their first tasks was finding a good name for the campaign. It was not easy because it had to sound well in both languages, Spanish and English, but they finally got it: "Breaking up with plastic" or "Cortando con el plástico". What do you think? Do you like it?

If you click on the image below, you'll find some videos regarding this interesting topic.
