4ºB: change of plans

Hi, a rearrangement in our term plan is needed taken into account a couple overlappings with the external exams. Check it out:

-Thursday April 25: you have the Comunidad external exams so we won´t be able to do the Literary Circle scheduled for that day (chapter 5+Interlude). We´ll go over both chapters in class the following Monday (April 29). You can hand in the LC worksheet that very Monday.

-Friday April 26: more CAM exams, so the vlog activity deadline has to be put off until again the following Monday (April 29).

-You won´t believe this, but the FCE/CAE written exam will be held on another Thursday (May 9). Once more, the LC for chapter 6 must be rescheduled, in this case to a previous date: Tuesday May 7 (so that Fahmee can help us). Don´t forget to bring the LC worksheet that day!

-The PET exam (written part) will be on May 21.

-The speaking exam for all students will be on May 7 (Tuesday)   Monday 6 after the school regular timetable like last year.

-The Graveyard Book exam is kept the day scheduled (May 17).

-Enjoy your holidays and relax!

The William Blake project (3ºB, 3ºC)

You have to prepare a videoclip based on a poem by William Blake. Deadline is May 13 (Monday). That day you will show the video, give a presentation of your work to the class and explain the meaning of the poem. This activity will account for a 10% of your final term mark. 

Follow these guidelines for your videoclip:
-Your voice must be recorded reciting the poem. Check the pronounciation of difficult words (here, for example) Don´t just copy and paste one videoclip from the net (I´ll notice!)
-Each line of the poem (more or less) should be accompanied by an image that matches it. You have to show me you understand the poem. Creativity is very welcome.
-It´d great if you could include good background music that relates to the topic of the poem.
-The videoclip and class presentation can be done individually or in groups of 2/3 students (no more than 3 people per group please). The list of teams must be turned in on April 26 (Friday) the latest. Include also the name of poem you have chosen.
-Have a look at some videoclips made by my students past years (here and here).

Two links where you can explore some of Blake's most famous poems (but there are many more websites):

-Here you are a list of 10, and they are commented.
-Another website with more poems.
