Hi again!

This is for all our students: if you don't blog, you won't pass! That's for sure.
(Calm down. I'm not being completely serious!)
We just want you to have a look at our work, have a good time, learn new things and send us your comments and your suggestions in order to improve our bilingual blog.
Thanks a lot and let's blog together!
Bye for now,

Jokes

Teacher: Maria please point to America on the map.
Maria: This is it.
Teacher: Well done. Now class, who found America?
Class: Maria did.


A Scotsman who was driving home one night, ran into a car driven by an Englishman. The Scotsman got out of the car to apologize and offered the Englishman a drink from a bottle of whisky. The Englishman was glad to have a drink.
"Go on," said the Scot, "have another drink."
The Englishman drank gratefully. "But don't you want one, too?" he asked the Scotsman.
"Perhaps," replied the Scotsman, "after the police have gone."

Education System in the U.S.A.

Provided that many of the websites we are visiting offer materials according to the levels established by the North-American educational system, I think that it would be a good idea to know something about it. Thus, I have found a brief description of it in an interesting article by the BBC. Click here to read it (it is in Spanish).

As our main interest is developing materials for 1st year E.S.O., we should pay special attention to any activities or materials deisgned for grades 8 and 9.

Hope it helps!

Interesting sites

Hello everybody!

I have found two interesting sites which could be very useful for our bilingual project.

One of them is www.factmonster.com, where you can find lots of funny and attractive information and articles about many different issues, such as sport, science, math and money, etc. The problem is that the access is restricted and we can't get into it from the computers of the centre.

The other one is www.kids.gov, an official kids’ portal to the U.S. government wich links to over 1,200 web pages from educational organizations, schools, and government agencies geared to the learning levels and interests of girls and boys in grades K-5 and 6-8. I think that its sitemap is specially useful, so click here to be directly redirected to it.

That's all for the moment.
