Welcome back!

Dear students in 2º ESO B, I guess we are stuck together again! I hope you enjoyed your long summer holiday. This was perhaps one of my best summers so far!

Well, back to school , then. This year we will continue with the same timetable and do things in a similar way. We will devote our time to different things every day of the week. We will have oral practice with our new teaching assistants from the States, Veronica and Sydney. We will also visit the language lab on Thursdays or Fridays. One day a week we will use our school textbook and the alternative textbook (PET to revise for our exams) and finally we will also do Britlit kits to know more about literature and modern writers.

Today I want to give you a little further info on Mary Seacole. We are learning about biographies and their features. It is interesting to see what facts are included in brief biographies and if biographers have made the same selection of facts. Here are links to different biograpies of Mary Seacole on the Internet. Click on them and check if they are similar or different.

1. Official website with lots of information about Mary Seacole.
2. BBC's webpage with a brief biography
3. BBC's version for schools. Play the memory game at the end of the biography. It's fun!

See you tomorrow. Enjoy your first day at school!
