Pink Bow Tie by Paul Jennings

Hi everyone,

As you all know, this week we will be reading a short story called "Pink Bow Tie" by the famous Australian writer Paul Jennings. I am sure you will enjoy reading this story. Do you remember "The Copy", the story we read about a cazy inventor and his teenage friend at the end of January? Well, both stories are by the same author. If you want to know more about Paul Jennings and his biography click here.

Here is a link to his personal webpage. Lots of stuff to read about his latest books, TV series, etc.

Many of his short stories, published between 1985 and 1991 were also adapted into the first and second series of the popular Australian television show Round the Twist. Watch the first part of the episode callled Pink Bow Tie. By the way, the accent is Australian. Another great chance to listen to another variety of English.

The Hobbit

Hi again!

This is the trailer for the movie "The Hobbit". If you haven't read the book or seen the film, this is a pretty good idea of what the plot is about. Remember there are a few copies of this book in the library! Fantastic story!



Here is a link with hints for a good presentation. Ready for Friday?

The Pied Piper story

Hi there,

Here's a YouTube video I found about the story of the Pied Piper we're now reading in class. Of course, the story has changed a little bit, but I thought you might like it. Kermit has always been one of my favourite puppets!
