Week 31 Tuesday May 29th- June 2nd 2012
This week we finished working on the environmental theme then you had your final evaluation of the year.
Week 30 Monday May 21st-26th 2012
This week we watched the trailer of the film An Inconvenient Truth in which we learnt about all sorts of natural catastrophes provoked by pollution. It is us who are polluting the planet and the film maker wanted to warn us about our dangerous acts.
Having understood the film we worked a little around the language of graphs. I informed you that you would have to create a flyer about pollution, in which you must incorporate a small graph, and explain your point of view to the rest of the class.

Week 29 Monday May 14th-19th 2012
Only one lesson this week in which you had a dictation on the words concerning the environment we'd seen last week!
It was, indeed, quite something to see...... but an extremely interesting and useful exercise even if I say so myself.
We will continue working on the environment by watching a trailer next Tuesday.

This week we saw each other twice. We went over the work on Meatrix and the environmental quiz, then
went on to talk about Earth Day and the problems facing the world today by exchanging information about different visual documents.
By so doing we managed to pull out such a lot of vocabulary. So to check on all of this be ready for your dictation next Friday!
Don't forget that I am involved in the STG oral exams next Tuesday and that next Thursday is a bank holiday.

We have been using and trying to understand the present perfect all of this week! We started on Tuesday and still today Friday we are working on it. Billy Elliot and his family have helped us to understand partially if ot completely how it works.
Your teacher too, that's me!, who started working in your school 12 years ago and is still here now has been working in Jacques Brel for many years!
We will continue with this next week when we will be able to say:

Week 24 Monday March 26th-31st 2012
This week we got well into Billy Elliot and his generation gap, social, economical problems. We started with a text, Not for Lads which we compared to the film version afterwards. The former you have to hand in next Tuesday, April 3rd. Then we watche ddifferent parts of the film and followed through the evolution of the relationship between Billy and his father towards his passion for ballet.
Mr Elliot didn't agree with Billy at first then he does so he has changed his mind.
Billy is at the school for an audition but he nolonger wants to audition, he has changed his mind too.
The family is/are waiting for the postman, Billy's letter is on the table so the postman has been.
Billy went to London to audition and returns home to wait for the news. He has received the letter and has got the place.
Watch part 10 again to see what happens exactly and be ready to talk about it next Tuesday:
Don't forget your written comprehension exercise for Tuesday too!

Week 15 Tuesday January 3rd-7th 2012
This week, once we'd made our New Year's resolutions , we finished off the work on proportionality and link words, left over from before the holidays. We then plunged into a final text on the multicultural subject, taken from the adaptation of Bend it like Beckham, when Joe goes to meet Jessminder's parents to try to persuade them to let her play in the team since she has potential.
We clearly understood her father's position, that he had played in Nairobi but hadnot been allowed to be part of a cricket team when he arrived in Britain. He didn't want Jess to be disappointed.
I asked you to write a summary of what you'd understood.
