Song: Thank God It's Friday

Click here and roll down the page until you find the song Thank God It's Friday. This is one of my favourites. Apart from practising the days of the week you can also listen to some good music. By the way, the band's name is The Cure. Really good stuff.

Game: Who's my Valentine?

Click here and play the game. It is very easy and entertaining, follow the instructions and practise your vocabulary for describing people. If you want to revise that vocabulary, here is a useful list:

EL CLUB DE LAS IDEAS EN EL IES SIERRA DE GÁDOR

Hace unas semanas, nos visitaron los del Club de las Ideas. La idea era hacer ver a la comunidad educactiva la experiencia innovadora que se está llevando a cabo en nuestro centro en el Aula Específica. Podeis ver el reportaje visitando el siguiente blog,http://galiant.blogspot.com/ aunque intentaré subir el video también.

La verdad es que, aunque el reportaje está bien y muestra los que se hace en el aula, faltó la crítica que desde el centro hemos hecho en varias instancias porque los alumnos no encuentran salidas laborales. Es más, una vez visto el programa la impresión que uno extrae es que encuentran trabajo fácilmente. Que se lo pregunten a Sergio, el primer alumno que acabó el Programa de Transición a la Vida Adulta y está todavía esperando esa oportunidad laboral...

En cualquier caso, creo que todos los profes que trabajan en el Proyecto merecían, por lo menos, tener su minuto de gloria. Enhorabuena compañeros.
