Today I’ve come to work despite the teachers strike. I don’t quite like the new Catalan Education Law, but I don’t like how the education system is now either. We couldn’t do normal classes today, but we have practised the following:

• Comics in English: we have used toondoo to create some comic strips.
• 4th ESO: we have continued with normal classes.

Unit 1 average was a mere 5. Unit 2 is… 6.5!! Two things here:

· Unit 2 is easier than unit 1.

· Many of the students who have now an 8 will do the intermediate exam for unit 3. Get ready…

But anyway, congratulations!

Hello my dear students, the final version of the list of exercises for Unit 3 has already been uploaded. It no longer contains the vocabulary of Unit 2, but the new words in the last unit of this term.

Thanks for waiting and see you on Monday (4 A,C,D) and Tuesday (4B).

Oh, and before you ask. No, I will probably not give you the marked exams, except for 4t C. If I have time, I will try to finish 4D first. Sorry, but I’m having a very busy weekend with birthdays and lots of shopping to do.

Unit 3, 2nd version

Good news! I have just marked your unit 2 exams and I have to say that the results have been spectacular. The average is 6.9, which is miles away from Unit 1’s 5.2!!!

Congratulations, though I have to say that perhaps, only perhaps, this exam was much easier. See you on Monday!

If you click on the dossier of Unit 3 you will see that the vocabulary list is identical to unit 2. I will change that as soon as I can. Sorry about the inconvenience!

Hello students, this is the first cartoon that I have created with Toondoo. Next week, we’ll be working with our computers and seeing how they can help us create a short comic strip in less than 10 minutes.

As you probably know, Obama has just become the new president of the United States. Watch the video from the BBC.

“The Forbidden City in Beijing is one of the greatest cultural and architectural treasures in China. Today, this enormous complex of palaces is home to the Palace Museum. Now, where several centuries ago this great masterpiece was inaccessible to ordinary people, today the general public is able to visit every nook and cranny of it thanks to a digitisation initiative that has been launched this October.”
