3º ESO AND APLE COMPUTER ROOM LESSON MAY 28TH

Dear students,



In both groups there are people who are really into music. Some of you play musical instruments and some of you are almost music experts. Today, we are going to play different games in English about music. You will need headphones for some of them.

Let's start with a test about pop songs from 2010.

Now, you have a new test, this time with music. Choose a level (I suggest beginners), choose a time period (the one you think you know more about) and then start with it. You get 2 points if you find out the right singer and one extra point if you find out the name of the song you hear.



This third quiz is about the death of famous singers. They tell you when and how the singer died and you have to find out who the dead singer is.

Let's go with quiz number 4. A quiz about music in general, to tell you the truth, about old music for you. It may be quite difficult for most of you, but a real challenge for the experts.

If you are a bit down after quiz number 4, quiz number 5 is much easier, specially if you listen to pop music on the radio.

Finally, it is the time to watch and listen to Adele's "Someone like you" and fill in the blanks of the lyrics. If you are given the choice, choose elementary level.

I hope you do enjoy the lesson.

Javier

APLE HOMEWORK 9/10. Deadline, May 25th

Dear Students, This week you will continue practising your listening skills. I have found a new web page and I like the easy way you can send me your results. You have to go to this page and do 6 listenings. If your English is average, do 1,2, easy, 1,2, medium and 1,2, difficult. If your English is not very good, you can do 1,2,3 easy, 1,2, medium and 1, difficult. If your English is really good, you can do 1 easy, 1,2, medium and 1,2,3,4 difficult.
When you finish an activity, you have to click on "Corregir". If your score is over 70%, you can click on "solución" and then on "Enviar el resultado a tu profesor". Then you must write your name, your email address and my email address javiprofeingles@hotmail.com. If your score is under 70%, you must click on "Comenzar de nuevo" and start all over again. If after your second try, your score is still under 70%, just send me your score "Enviar el resultado a tu profesor". Good luck and use this page frequently, since it is good practise for your listening skills and you can see your score very easily. Javier

APLE HOMEWORK 8/10. Deadline Friday May18th.

Dear Students, I hope you all enjoyed the trip to the Prado Museum the other day. Remember you have to give me your recordings this week. If you have any technical problem, just let me know. You can give me a pendrive, a CD, a DVD or any other means I can read. I don't think the activity was perfect (the weather, the transport, etc), so I would like you to comment on it and make possible changes, suggestions or improvements for next year. You can do it here in this voicethread or if you have problems with the voicethread, you can send me the audio to my usual email address. Have fun. Javier

APLE HOMEWORK 7/10. New Deadline: Sunday May 13rd

Dear Students,



Next week you will have your listening exam and. For that reason, I think you might start practising some listening activities.

You have to go here and do at least 10 intermediate listenings. The first you must do is "hide-" the script, then listen to it (they are all very short) and then do the Quiz 2: Comprehension Q's. When you finish, check your answers and send me an email with the right option in each listening.

Good luck and listen to English regularly.
