ITIP OF MAY: WORKRAVE

Hi everyone,

not everything in life is about working... so I would like to give you a new monthly tip that will help you cope with stress and hard work now that the course is coming to an end!! What about downloading a new IT application that will relieve your final exam effort??

WORKRAVE is a computer programme that you can download to promote resting and relaxation when working at your PC. The software will give you tips on how to stop and do some little exercise and will also automatically turn your screen off after minutes or hours of working. So, next time you are working hard for your exams, meet Miss Workrave and have fun with her!!!

SONG OF THE SEA: QUESTIONS

Hi there again,

as you all know, the film festival at school (FILMS AND ART) has already come to an end. Today we saw Song of the Sea. I hope you have enjoyed it!! It is time now to think about it and go on with the video listening activity we started in class. Here are the questions you got from the video where a young girl interviews the director and producer of the film. Watch the video again and try to give an answer to the questions in the comments section below. 

1. Why is storytelling so important?

2. How did you come up with the idea for the film?

3. Did making the film teach you anything about the stories and memories that you grew up with?

4. Can you describe the animation techniques in the film and why did you use them?

5. What´s your top tip for animation?

6. In what way are the locations in the film based on real places?

7. What makes a good story?

I hope you have a great English-learning weekend! See you all in class. I´ll be looking forward to your answers!
