APLE HOMEWORK 3/10. Deadline April 4th

Dear students,

Some of your marks in the second listening exam were not that good, so I think it is time for you to practise with difficult listenings during the holidays. To do it, you have to go to this site:

You have to do all the four tests. Be careful because in theory you cannot listen to the recordings more than once. Fill in as many blanks as you can (altogether there are 40 of them in 4 different parts).
When you finish, click on "click on here to check your answers". Now, you will get to a new window where your score is shown. I want you to take a screenshot of your computer and then send it to me to prove that you did it and to check your score. It is hard, but I think it is very good practice for you.
Good luck.
Javier

APLE HOMEWORK 2/10. Deadline April 3rd

A VIRTUAL TOUR

Choose a trip by clicking on one of the postcards on the first screen, then listen to the SHORT trip diary
 and click on the notepad page to start writing. Once you've finished, click on "done" so that 
you can print out your work.
You can change the size of the text. Use the up and down arrows to move through what you write. 
Then go to cover page and design your cover page. 

Thanks to Ana Méndez and her blog for her great idea.

Bring everything to me by Thursday April 3rd

APLE HOMEWORK 8 & 9 /10. Deadline February 13th (2 weeks this time)

Dear Students
This time your assignment is a bit longer, more complex and more personal. It will also have a numeric mark. One mark for the appearance and another mark for your English.
Following the famous song by One Direction "The story of my life", I want you to write and tell me the story of your life.

You can do it with Eduglogster, Brainshark or Glossi.
I need photographs, text and, of course, audio from you.
We can talk about it on Tuesday in our class, since Monday it is Rhona's Day.
You can see some examples on this incredible blog: http://www.uptodate-amef.blogspot.com.es/

Have a nice, long weekend.
Javier

NUMBER THE STARS 3º ESO

I hope you enjoy the book assigned to you this year. The simple fact of reading an unabridged book in English will be quite a feat for most of you and surely I will know how to acknowledge it.
In class we will comment on the book every week and you are going to think of some questions for each of the chapters of  "Number the stars" which we will discuss in class on Wednesdays or Fridays. You must read 4 Chapters every week.
In order to help you collaborate and make this task more interesting, I have created a document where you will type out your questions and you will share them. In this way, all of you will know the questions your classmates have asked. Don't forget to include your name when you make your contribution (at the end in brackets). The final test will be based on some of these questions. So take good notice!

You can also contribute to the document by answering some of the questions your classmates have asked.

If you click on the image below you will be taken straight to the document with the questions. I have typed a couple of them as an example.

In this second document, you will write down a glossary of new words in their context. You must write at least two words per chapter, with the translation into Spanish, the context, the page number and your name. I have also typed a couple of them as an example.

I think if we work together on this, everybody will benefit from the experience.
