3rd CHILDREN: Traditional stories from around the world!

Hello children! How are you?

In class, we worked with the Mexican story "The Magic Tortilla".

Do you know stories, legends, or myths, from other countries?

Here is a webpage in which children from different countries post their stories http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/your-turn/traditional-stories-around-the-world 

You can also leave a comment telling a story you know, if you want! 

See you in class!
Hi PRE-ADOLESCENTS 2! 

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

This is the video that you can use as help when you do the homework! It is NOT obligatory to use it but it might be good idea.

4th Year: LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER

Hello, everybody! How are you? I hope everything's ok!

Here is the homework for next class 

 1)Go to this webpage http://absolutenglish-972.pagesperso-orange.fr/notes/mysteries/lamb-chron.htm and solve the activity. You have to put the events in chronological order. Of course, do this after you finish reading the story!! 
After this, re-write this summary on a separate piece of paper so as to turn it into a more personal paragraph. Remember to use narrative tenses (PAST SIMPLE, PAST CONTINUOUS, PAST PERFECT) and connectors (first, after, because, etc...) Also, remember to avoid repetitions by using pronouns. You'll give this to me next class.

 2) Is Mary Maloney guilty? Here you can post your opinion. Go to this website http://yougotthepoint.online.fr/lamb.htm and click on "to the editor". Fill in the form, and express what you believe. 

 3) The author of the story is ROALD DAHL. We haven't said much about him in class. That's why I want you to go to this website http://www.roalddahlfans.com/teachers/dahl.php and read his biography. Please, solve activities 1 to 5 in your copybooks.

 That's all! See you on Tuesday!
