Week 2

This week in many groups we talked about the media coverage of Steve Job's death, the announcement of this year's Nobel Prize winners (the universe is expanding!), whether or not college degrees are overrated, and the tradition of Columbus Day.

Here are some ideas to study and work at home this week.

This week there are some FREE documentaries in original version (with Spanish subtitles) showing in Logroño -- Food Fight at the Casa de las Ciencias on Friday Oct 14th at 18:30, and on Saturday Oct 15th and Sunday  Oct 16th at 12:30 and 19.  On Wednesday October 19th is a screening of Inside Job at 19:30 at the Centro Cultural Caja Rioja on Gran Vía.

Here are some more recommended and requested links: Voice of American News for Learners, The English We Speak Podcast, Teacher's Resources for Teaching about Holidays, short stories by Roald Dahl,

Grammar points to review:
  •  make and do : make (the product is more important) and do (the process is more important
  • used to and usually
  • for and since
Writing: One idea is to write a response to something you've read, watched or listened to in English (don't forget, you can always use the resources I sent last week).  Other possible writing prompts are:
  • What is one aspect of your life that you would like to change?
  • Technology makes communication easier in today's world. Many people choose to work at home in front of a computer screen. What danger does the society face depending on computer screens rather than face-to-face contact as the main means of communication? Are we the prisoners of the progress?
  • Do you agree with Ken Robinson's idea that schools kill creativity? What can teachers and parents do?

Have a great week and don't forget to keep in touch with what you're working on!
