What did we do on 23rd April 2014? 1.ºC

1. The teacher presentated unit 8 and showed the learning objectives and contents. She also talked about the evaluation system and the blog.

2. We did a brainstorming about types of music. We told to the teacher types of music we know and like and she wrote them on the board and we created a chart altogether.

3. We watched three videos of orchestras playing different types of music (5th Beethoven's Symphony in classical, salsa and rock versions). We had to guess if the orchestras were playing the same piece of music in the three videos or not and say which instruments we could see.

4. We read a text about Ludwig van Beethoven and we answered to True-and-False Questions altogether. We underlined the words we didn't know.

5. We had not time enough to do the last activity the teacher had prepared but we will do it the next lesson.

Homework for Friday, 25th April 2014:

Writing: write about 3-5 lines telling what did you do last week during your Easter holidays (you can talk about the whole week or about one day). You can do it in a piece of paper or writing it as a comment here on the blog so you can add some photos. Use the past simple. You can find information about the past simple on pages 94 and 95 of your Students' book or in this blog.

Here you have an example:

Last week I went to Estepona and I visited my family. On Monday, we went to Selwo Aventura and we saw a lot of animals. We spent a great time there and we had a lot of fun. 

On Tuesday, we went to the beach. It was sunny and hot so we swam in the sea but the water was cool. On Wednesday, we did a barbecue and we ate sausages and cutlets for lunch. On Thursday and Friday night we went to see processions. I did not study English during my Easter holidays because I hadn't got time.
