Your Posters

My song - Presentations

On Friday it's time for oral presentations (10-8 only:-)
I am sure everything is ready and I am looking forward to listening to your favourite songs and to your 'speeches' about them.
Now it is also time for real assessment of your presentations skills and also of the group work skills that made your presentation possible. Click here to check how assessment will be done.

UNIT 2 - Be Beautiful (?)

In the meanwhile we started a new unit. This time about::
- music and the feelings it arises
- peer pressure and the need to be beautiful
- fashion & trends: are piercing and tattooing a form of body art?
- money habits (spending, saving, investing...)

We'll revise a few grammar topics:
- Verb tenses - present perfect and past simple
- Dependent prepositions
- Comparatives & superlatives
- Connectors (addition, correlation, contrast, cause and effect)


You'll also learn how to write a transactional letter.

I can't wait to see your final task ... your posters and presentations about the songs you picked :-)

UNIT 1 - wrapping up

These have been the busiest weeks... ever. So this poor BLOG has been a bit idle :-(
Let me start by giving an overview of what we've been doing:

- UNIT 1 - YOUTH GENERATIONS is now complete. Here is the WRAP UP of the unit.

Your presentations were all very good. You managed to grab the attention of the audience and everybody was very busy ... learning. There was a lot of information about the different generations and the Grammar topics (Conditionals, and Present Tenses  became all that simple for everybody :-)
Here are a few examples:
- Role-play - Generations (Henrique & Diogo). But you should have seen them live!
- Present Simple and Continuous (Susana & Yan)
- Present Simple and Past Simple (Mafalda & Mauro)
- Conditionals (Ana Luisa & Zé Diogo)
 There are other examples but, unfortunately I don't have the files to post here.
