THANKSGIVING: tasting eggnog

We have celebrated Thanksgiving today, because Adlai, our language assistant, has prepared a traditional recipe for us: EGGNOG.  It was delicious!!!

In a few days, we will share the recipe with you, so you will be able to try yourselves. 

Happy Thanksgiving, Adlai!!!

 

25th November: And you?

25th November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and we ask you to watch this video:

 

And you? How can you help end violence against women and girls? 

Pay attention to the structure: 

'How can you help?'     '(I can help) by -ing...'

 

You can write your message or send a short video with your message to your English teacher.

Christmas in England

We start the summer with a recording made by our language assistant, Sophie, about Christmas in England. It's a good listening for beginners and it can be used for a COMPARE & CONTRAST thinking routine. 

 

FOR MUSIC & SONG WRITING LOVERS

ENGLISH CHALLENGE

Are you a creative person?

Do you sometimes make up stories and write them down?

Have you ever written a song?

Well, if you have answered YES to at least 2 questions,

YOU´RE THE PERSON WE´RE LOOKING FOR.

Since this academic year is getting to its end and since this last term has been so weird, we want you to do something absolutely different and a bit crazy.

• I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND, one of the most famous songs by The Beatles, was released in 1963. Here´s the video and the lyrics. Please, listen to it carefully as you read the lyrics.

• They would have never imagined that, 57 years later, a “Coronavirus” version of that song would become viral. Again, here´s the video and the lyrics:
  
  

Which one do you like best?

SO, this is what we want you to do:

WOULD YOU( on your own or with your friends) BE ABLE TO

CHOOSE A SONG YOU LIKE ( it should be an easy one, one whose lyrics can be modified easily)

and CHANGE ITS LYRICS so that it becomes a Coronavirus hit??

You can write about wearing face masks and gloves/ getting together/ washing your hands/ keeping distance / staying home/ being desperate to go out/ going shopping/ not kissing or hugging your relatives and friends/ whatever other personal “Coronavirus/ lockdown ”experiences you want to share…..

BUT, WE DON´T WANT TO HURT PEOPLE´S FEELINGS ( we know this pandemic has been, and still is, a very serious issue. However, we think we must keep our sense of humour in order to overcome difficult periods of life). That´s why we must be respectful all the time. This is about having fun without hurting anyone.

ONLY FOR RISK-TAKERS:

A homemade video/audio file showing your teacher that special version??

Thank you! Enjoy the week!!

Video del CSI del confinamiento

Hace unas semanas, el Departamento de Inglés propuso a nuestro alumnado de 1º ESO y 2ºESO dos posibilidades para hacer la rutina de pensamiento llamada CSI:  sobre lo que les sugería la canción "Ain't no mountain high enough" o sobre cómo afrontaban ellos en confinamiento. Además, les pedimos que se grabaran explicando por qué habían escogido esos colores o imágenes. 

Este es el resultado de la parte visual. Esperamos que os guste tanto como a nosotras. 

International Breakfast: Leashia Lewis, form Philadelphia

One more day, one more song: MEMORIES

En estos días de encierro ( LOCKDOWN in English) es importante escuchar música que nos transmita mensajes positivos: solidarity, resilience, hope, family bonds, love, fun, etc. Os proponemos escuchar estas canciones y trabajar con su letra para practicar inglés.

Wednesday 25th March: MEMORIES , by Maroon 5.

 LYRICS

This is a song about memories, about THINKING OF OUR LOVED ONES and about celebrating LOVE, FRIENDSHIP...

HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE? We often MAKE A TOAST (= hacer un brindis)

 

¿Cómo se brinda en inglés? En la canción tenéis tres ejemplos:

• HERE´S TO …..: esta va por ….
• A TOAST TO….: un brindis por …..
• CHEERS TO…: literalmente “ Alegría por...”, pero se traduce por "un brindis por…"

Os proponemos una actividad tras escuchar la canción:

Make a list of toasts you would like to make whenever the Coronavirus lockdown is lifted. Write them on a piece of paper and take it to your English teachers on the first day of school after this quarantine. 

 

We could make a WALL OF TOASTS!!
