Just for a laugh! Silent letters
A friend sent me this video a few days ago and I thougt it was really funny. Since many words students have problems with are mentioned, I am leaving it here for you.
Remember you have to pronounce them correctly so keep the silent letters in words such as
hour, half, climb, know, knock, subtle, Wednesday, Autumn, talking, climbing, knitting, knife...
If you feel like revisig silent letters, have a look at the following video. My friend Emma will help and encourage you to improve your pronunciation.

INTERVIEWING PILGRIMS IN TEIS. 1st ESO students from the bilingual section
And finally the last video! My students are interviewing pilgrims in TEIS on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The activity took place on June 6th but a lot of work had been done before and a bit more had to be done afterwards. Their last oral exam was to tell me what they had found out about the people they had interviewed. Please, have a look at all the process in the video. I hope you will enjoy it.
It has been great to be your teacher this year!
