My first year ESO D students are going to be models on the catwalk (activity to include in their portfolio).
Since they are learning vocabulary about clothes and the present continuous (click HERE), some students are going to "do the catwalk" (in front of a photocall drawn by Javier Díaz, Plastic Arts teacher and some of his students), while others describe what they are wearing.
You also have a fill in the gaps to be done while watching the videoclip I’m too sexy (on top).

Project Gutenberg is a volunteer effort to digitize and archive cultural works, to "encourage the creation and distribution of eBooks". Founded in 1971 by Michael S. Hart, it is the oldest digital library. Most of the items in its collection are the full texts of public domainbooks. The project tries to make these as free as possible, in long-lasting, open formats that can be used on almost any computer. As of November 2011, Project Gutenberg claimed over 38,000 items in its collection.
Wherever possible, the releases are available in plain text, but other formats are included, such as HTML, PDF, EPUB, MOBI, and Plucker. Most releases are in the English language, but many non-English works are also available.
At last, thanks to Javier’s hard work (Javier Rodríguez, Science teacher, fantastic photographer and editor), The Water Cycle Rap videoclip is ready.

As you were told in the previous post, 1st year ESO students are working on The Water Cycle Rap. The first step was learning about the water cycle and writing the lyrics, the second recording our voices rapping The Water Cycle.
Now, thanks to the fantastic DJ Diego Aka London our raps (English and Galician versions) already have music. (Listen to them above)
THANK YOU VEEEEEEEEEERY MUCH, Diego, for sharing your tremendous talent with us. We are very grateful to you.
Soon the whole video on this blog!!!!
As you probably know if you usually follow this blog, my 1st year ESO D students are working on a project, The Water Cycle Rap (click here). We have already recorded our voices (you can listen to the whole group and to the soloists Anderson, David, Carla and Eddy by clicking on"play" on the first podcast above). The next steps will be adding music and images... So very soon The Water cycle musical clip on this blog!!!!!!!!!
By the way, this project is also being carried out in Galician language (Galician Language Dinamization Department). In fact, if you click on "play" on the second podcast, you will listen to 1st year ESO D students (here the soloists are Nerea, Alba, Paula and Ivana) "rapping" O ciclo da auga (the images and music will be the same as or very similar to those added to the English version).
