Send us a postcard!!

We have chosen a wall in our school to post all the postcards our students, teachers or families send us from abroad. We have titled the section "It´s a small world!¨and the first postcard was sent to us from Chicago (USA). We would like to get a full wall with postcards from all over the world. You are also welcome to participate!!

Stereotypes

One of the aims of any bilingual programme is to compare and contrast cultures and societies. Some years ago I made this presentation on the topic of stereotypes. They are frequent in all countries and cultures and can vary from funny to really offensive.
We must be careful when dealing with stereotypes as they are overgeneralizations not accurate at all!!

Now, watch the video below and another stereotype will be covered...

I wanna be a screen from José Antonio Alcalde López


These days everybody is glued to a screen (whatever its size). This is why  I made this simple presentation for my students and even myself!!

Estos días estamos celebrando con varias actividades el Día de la Biblioteca en nuestro IES. El alumnado está ambientando la biblioteca del centro para leer relatos de terror con cartelería y decoración alusiva al tema.
Nosotros nos sumamos a los actos recordando en esta presentación un rápido repaso a la historia del libro.
