APLE FESTIVAL OF SKETCHES 2013

Dear Students,

I think you did an incredible job last Monday. Some of your performances were superb. I will tell you your grades as soon as I have time to assess them.
I really encourage you to perform again in from of parents or younger students (1º or 2º ESO). We will talk about it next week.
Here are the videos which will take you straight to Broadway.

APLE HOMEWORK 10/10. Deadline Sunday May 26. BEST AND WORST OF THIS ACADEMIC YEAR

Yes, I know, we still have like a month until we finish our lessons (June 14th), but this is your last assignment, so here we go.



This week, I want you to do the same assignment in a written and in an ORAL way. I want you to tell me the best and the worst things of this academic year in the next categories:

SCHOOL:

FAMILY:

FRIENDS:

LOVE:

APLE:

HEALTH:

In the case of APLE, I would really appreciate your suggestions for next year. Just imagine I am the new English teacher who is coming to our school next year, have never taught APLE, and am a bit lost about it. What ideas and suggestions would you tell her for next year?

Remember that Wednesday and Friday we have General Rehearsal for sketches and you should bring all the props for that (signs, menus, photos for the overhead projector, etc).

Thank you to all the people who have volunteered to come to the Graduation next Friday. I think you will have a good time.

APLE HOMEWORK 9/10. Deadline Sunday May 19th.

INTERVIEWS AT THE PRADO MUSEUM



Dear students

I hope you enjoyed the activity last Friday and managed to interview hundreds of tourists. Before you send me your videos for assessment, I wanted you to tell me ORALLY what your experience was like, how many  people you interviewed, where they were from, what problems you had, what anecdotes you had, etc.

You can send it to me in any of the usual ways.

APLE HOMEWORK 8/10. Deadline Sunday May 12th.

Hi students, Let's see if this week I am a bit luckier with your homework. In less than three weeks, the students from 2º Bachillerato will have their graduation ceremony. It is traditional in our school that one or two students and one teacher give Valedictorian Speeches in it. Just in case you want to do it next year (in English or in Spanish), this is your chance to practise.
Write the speech or a draft with ideas about it and record a speech. Try to make it between 2 and 5 minutes long. If you do it with Speakpipe, remember that the time limit is three minutes, but you can do it in two parts. Good luck Javier
