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.”

From Vilaweb’s Diari d’ Escola.

You can download the three exams with the solutions. Remember that the test for unit 2 will include some of these questions!

• Level 1
• Level 2
• Level 3

This week is music week, so here goes a song that will take you to the coldest days of the year. As I write this the temperature has dropped to only 6 degrees. Last week, it was 14 degrees at exactly the same time (check meteo.cat‘s website data for Cunit).

Enjoy the song, and if you want to read the lyrics, here they go.

“You’ve got the two of hearts

And try to bluff

I’ve got enough motives

To write this song to you

I’m no longer afraid today

I can bite today

I’ve touched the sky today

‘cause I saw you again

in paradise, alone, unaware.”

This is a translation from a text. But … who is the author? Is he a professional singer? Is she a woman? Or is the author a student in 4th of ESO?

Today we plan a 6 panel comic strip. The story is this “Claudia ies a 13 year old student. She is studying for a history exam and slowly falls asleep”.

Will our students produce an interesting comic plan???
