Today we first checked with teacher Yerlin the answers of the listening test.

In groups of three we made a conversation about our favorite movies and then we worked on the blue book unit 13 we read the snapshot 1 which is about a movie trivia with interesting data like actors and actress any role of the movie, the cost and the money it made, curious things that happen during the films and how long time they spend to film. After in groups we made a conversation of the following questions under that movie trivia: “Which of the movie trivia do you find most interesting?”, “Do you know any other movie trivia?”, “Which of the movies have you seen? Did you enjoy them?”.

Using the previous topics movies and them we made a vs with the books to use the Participle as adjectives which is the use of Present Participles when we talk about movies, books or even things e.g. “Stephen King’s books are fascinating” here we use the verbing, and we use the Past Participles when we talk about actors or persons e.g. “I’m bored by watching television” here we use the -ed. Later we made and complete the list with synonyms for “Awful, Wonder, Stupid and Strange” they are very useful to describe movies, after that we made a guess the actress, actor or movie activity by reading a description.

Later we worked on a grammar focus of Relative pronouns for people and things using who or that for people and which or that for things e.g. in people “He’s an actor who/that often plays unusual characters” and for things “It’s a movie which/that starts Leonardo DiCaprio.” Then we listened to two critics talk about a new movie and we completed the chart from 1 to 3 on Acting, Story, Music and Special Effects also the stars rate that both gave. The final activity in the book was a reading comprehension and we sort some sentences by sequence order using the numbers from 1 (first event) to 9 (Last event) also in the activity below we write the number to the sentences of the paragraph that they belong.

And finally teacher Yerlin gave us some sheets with two topics the first one was “The Road to Resilience” and the second “10 Tips to Achieve Anything You Want in Life” and she want that we read both, made an conceptual map and then made a conversation in groups for each one.
