Once you have finished your exam you can watch the first 20 minutes of the film we were talking about yesterday.
I have a copy downstairs and have asked the teacher on duty to bring it to your class but in case that doesn't work, here you have Plan B. Watch it from here. Sorry the quality doesn't seem to very good.
See you tomorrow.

4º ESO C WRITING

Writing. This is not an exam. This is a moment for you to enjoy writing about something you feel confident about. I would love to enjoy reading them as well. Give me your best.

Choose one of the following options and write about 100-120 words.

1. Write about how much music means to you.

2. Choose something you liked from the book you read and write about it. (not a summary)

If you prefer more creative writing you can choose one of these beginnings to create your own short story.

3. Flowers came to her house every other Monday around 1 o'clock.

4. The key clicked in the lock as Andrew opened the door to his apartment. Everything seemed to be in place, and yet, something wasn’t right.

AND WHEN YOU FINISH, HAND IT IN TO THE TEACHER IN CHARGE.

I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HARPER LEE, THE AUTHOR OF "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD". SHE HAS JUST DIED AT THE AGE OF 89

Harper Lee, whose first novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” about racial injustice in a small Alabama town, sold more than 40 million copies and became one of the most beloved and most taught works of fiction ever written by an American, died on Friday in Monroeville, Ala., where she lived. She was 89. Hank Conner, a nephew of Ms. Lee’s, said that she died in her sleep at the Meadows, an assisted living facility.The instant success of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” which was published in 1960 and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction the next year, turned Ms. Lee into a literary celebrity, a role she found oppressive and never learned to accept. “I never expected any sort of success with ‘Mockingbird,’ ” Ms. Lee told a radio interviewer in 1964. “I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers, but, at the same time I sort of hoped someone would like it well enough to give me encouragement.”

The enormous popularity of the film version of the novel, released in 1962 with Gregory Peck in the starring role of Atticus Finch, a small-town Southern lawyer who defends
a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman,
only added to Ms. Lee’s fame and fanned expectations
for her next novel.
