First of all, I know that it is not easy to be standing in front of a lot of people, worse if it is speaking in another language. To all of you who had the courage to do it, here there is a little collection of your work. Feel proud, because it is not easy, there is still a long way to go! I hope you enjoy watching this video made by Mr John Knapp :)

Oral presentations

Hello, there!

As I explained to you in classes these are the aspects to be assessed in your oral presentations. Please, read the rubric and if you have any doubt do not hesitate in asking me.

Times you love

Students from 8^th grade, here there are some questions that you have to answer. Follow the structure of the interview we checked in classes. Write a post below this comment when answering the questions please provide your name and your class. Here are the questions:

•       What’s your favourite time of the day? Why?

•       What’s your favourite day of the week? Why?

•       What’s your favourite month? Why?

•       What’s your favourite public holiday? Why?

Used to / didn't use to

In order to reinforce the application of “used to / didn’t use to” is that I have prepared some questions for you to be answered in a post. Please specify your name and class. Think when you were a little child and then answer these questions:

·         What did you use to play when you were a child?

·         What used to be your favourite food?

·         Who used to be your hero?

·         What kind of music did you use to like?

·         What TV programme did you use to watch?

My dear children, I hope you are all having a really pleasant time. I'm writing just to remind you that these are the materials I'm going to be using in my classes.

Warm regards to all of you and see you soon!

Classroom Language

I have noticed that most of you do not use as much English as you should. To most of you I have provided some classroom language that you could use in the class, but sadly you have forgotten to use it. So, to remind you I made a decision to post this for you guys...
