When we begin unit 2 (1.03 in Digital Text), we will need headphones to practise the listening exercises. Please, make sure you bring a couple of cheap headphones (nothing fancy, nor sporty, please!!) to the classroom. They will be necessary. 😉

Hello students,

As we have started working with computers, I have thought it could be a nice idea to include this article from Diari d’ Escola. Oh, by the way, I think our computers are not powerful enough to run Windows 7 (in case you were wondering…).

Els alumnes de 1r E han començat avui el dia molt bé. A la classe d’ anglès han encès els ordinadors i s’ han posat a treballar de valent. Quan han preguntat, només ha estat per coses relacionades amb el tema que estem fent (el verb to be). Durant bona part de la classe, les activitats s’ han pogut fer en absolut silenci.

Així cada dia,

Mr. Whitefield

Here are some exercises that you can include in your unit 1 dossier. They are exercises to practise the names of countries and their nationalities. You will only find countries, but you should also learn:

• Andalusia – Andalusian
• The Basque Country – Basque
• Galicia – Galician
• Catalonia – Catalan
• Aran Valley – Aranese

The exercises can be found here: LIST OF ACTIVITIES
