"Cuestión de honor" (¡recreo!)

Yesterday I told some of my students about "Don Rodrigo" and "Les Luthiers"... but they didn't know what I was talking about!
This is for you all to learn what I was talking about:

Enjoy! (si tienen tiempo, vean en YouTube la segunda parte de este sketch, es mi favorita!)
Gladys

Enjoy the winter break!

Dear Students,
This message is just to say: enjoy your time away from school. Rest and have fun!
Are you sitting for exams? Post a comment and tell us your results!

See you in August, everyone!
Peace,
Gladys

Talking time!

Re: Activate B2+ - Unit 3
@: 3rd year PIE (advanced) 2011

Hello class!

At Talkgroup » SantaCruzActivateB2, I've started 3 possible conversations for you to take part in:

• Is TV presenting your dream job?
• Your future
• Choosing a job

They're all related to Unit 3 in your student's book. Students who participate in at least one of these conversations recording a message which is one minute or longer, and using at least two expressions studied in our course get 0.50 extra points for our next test. Students who contribute to the three discussions, or use at least five expressions (by posting to one or two conversations), get another 0.50! (DEADLINE FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE MARKED: August 2nd, 2011).

To record yourselves, you will be asked to create an account at Voxopop. After you have created your account, you'll need to apply to join the class group (only the students in our class can participate, you see?). After I have accepted you, you will be able to record your message!

TIPS to PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY:

• Choose a user name that makes it possible for me to know who you really are, but do not use your full name (e.g. Karina is OK; Kari is OK; KarinaP is OK, KarinaPerez is NOT);
• As an avatar, choose a picture that represents you (e.g. your favourite cartoon, a special object) or a close-up of your eye, but not your portrait.

That's all for now. We'll have new conversations for every unit in the book!
Love,

Gladys
