End-of-year projects

Now that our textbook is coming to an end, we will work in three different projects to raise marks while having fun:
i. WebQuest Going to London
You will get instructions for this and work on it during teaching periods.
ii.Music project
Choose a song and translate its lyrics to understand the message.
Create a cue card including the following aspects: 1)why you chose it among the options, 2)explain the message to your classmates and 3) give your personal opinion on the subject.
Here are the singers/band links available:

• To Zion (Lauryn Hill)
• Crazy (Simple Plan)
• One (U2)
• Last Kiss (Pearl Jam)
• My Sacrifice (Creed)
• Beautiful (Christina Aguilera)
• Frozen (Madonna)
• Stole (Kelly Rowland)
• They dance alone "Cueca solo" (Sting)
• Where is the love? (The Black Eyed Peas)
• On the Edge (Tokio Hotel)
• Shame on you (Andrea Corr)
• Innocence maintained (Jewel)
• Spineless (Alanis Morisette)

The best way to work on the music project is that you use Google search engine to find the lyrics and listen to the songs, for this last option youtube.com is a perfect choice!.

'Tis a season to be jolly!!!

I just wanted to WISH EVERYONE MERRY CHRISTMAS! Good trip to Emma and Carly! Have a safe journey home and please! bring back some sweets!

Finally, as some students seemed to enjoy this, LITERALLY, breath-taking Xmas carol, here you are and practice to boredom. (South Park-styled video!)

Visit to Dorset (UK)

For those who may not know, the school is establishing close links with a British school: The Sir John Colfox School in Bridport, Dorset. My visit will mark the beginning of a partnership to work together so that you and the British pupils can work in projects together, do an exchange in this academic year and unite efforts in common activities. You can read a bit more about this piece of news published last 5th October in the local newspaper "Diario Jaén".
