Making an Oscar statuette!

Hi again,  

Just an interesting video to let you know how an Oscar statuette is really made. And it's a lot of work! Have a look and leave comments on what you think about it. We are also using this video as a listening comprehension exercise, so listen to it carefully. You'll get the exercises next week! Click on:

By the way, do you know the origin of the name "Oscar", given to these special statuettes many years ago? Please, leave your answer here as soon as you can , indicating the link where you found the information. There will be a prize for the first student who gets it right!

                            

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO ... GET READY FOR THE CEREMONY!

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO ...   

Hi and welcome back!

Here we are again. Christmas holidays are over and we are back full of energy and willing to become movie stars!! Yes, the Oscars ceremony is getting nearer and my students of 1ºbachillerato are preparing different film scenes as a speaking exercise for this second term. It's being a really motivating way of encouring them to speak and act while having fun! We will have the opportunity to see them in the following days. But watch out! The next Brad Pitt or the next Angelina Jolie may come out from this wonderful experience!

HAPPY 2012 !!



HAPPY NEW YEAR MY DEARS!

May the year 2012 be a time of peace and happiness for everybody!  And may all your dreams come true ! Hugs for all of you my little ones!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

Merry Christmas my dears! 

Have a nice time with your family and friends! If you have time to have a look, here you have a video where the Muppets ( we know them as "teleñecos" ) sing one of the most typical Christmas carols among children of English speaking countries
