The Smurfs

One in 8 Million

Hi everybody. How`s it going?! Teacher Adriano here.

This week I`d like to introduce to you what I consider to be the best New York Times video project, so far. One in 8 Million explores the personality of some characters of the Big Apple. You`ll get to know a little about individuals such as Joshua Febres: The Uncertain Gang Member or Jim Romano: The Tabloid Photographer.

Living in a city with endless possibilities, a Jewish middle-aged woman from the Upper East Side will never have the same New York experience as that of somebody from Soho or Tribecca. Each New Yorker has their own personal taste of the city and that`s what they share with us in these videos.

The videos are actually 3-minute slide shows with a narration on the background. And it`s great for those who like to practice their listening. You`ll be able to listen to lots of different accents from all over the US and the World.

That`s all for now folks. See you around!

The King and The Beaver

Hey folks!

Yesterday, my students from Inter 4 and I, started a very interesting lesson that concerns not only to the students, but to all of us: Lesson 7; ECO. This lesson brings many environmental world wide issues such as; The Global Warming, Air Pollution, Overpopulation, The Ozone Deplation, The Rain Forest Destruction and so on. Each of these environmental problems has different causes, numerous effects - sometimes disastrous - and most importantly, a solution.

This unit also discusses some of the main environmental organizations throughout the world, that seek to protect and monitor the natural environment against misuse or degradation, like GreenPeace, WWF, Plant a Tree Today Foundation and others.

"Digging" the internet I found a simple but creative video made by some graduating students from Gobelins ( School of Image, Paris- France). The name of the video is "Le Royaume" and it's all about a King who's just arrived in a wood and talked a little beaver into helping him to build a castle. Greedy and arrogant, the king mistreat the beaver even though the poor animal applied himself really hard. In the end, the selfish king found in his arrogance his own punishment.

Great isn't it?

Hope you enjoy it, folks!

See you around =D

July!!! Vacation??? Noooooo...

Hey, guys!



You know that in July, we had some extra classes to improve our English and also review some important topics.



We had what we called "an INTENSIVE English course" and we had such a great time.



Every day students had classes with different teachers. They could meet all of us, getting to know the teachers and also improve their English with different games, worksheets and activities with the interactive board!
