    Hi Cristina,

    I think that you have greate a really brilliant blog. It presents some varied topics, and you introduce some current issues (like the easter egg). I like the diversity of activities that you stablish, all of them really useful for working the different skills. I like also the drama activity. It is a very dynamic anc participative activity.
    It ´s interesting how you can leave different notices to the students by this way. The detail in the explanation of each activity is really adequate.

    Congratulations!,
    MarĂ­a Amparo Albert.

      Hello MarĂ­a Amparo,
      Thank you very much for your comment, really appreciated.
      I think that the students need to know, crearly and simply, what they are going to do, step by step, so they can prepare themselves, and their expectations.
      I love Drama, in Ireland it is one more subject as it is Maths, English...I think they can have fun while they learn lot of things, skills...

    I think it is a great idea for the students to know the culture and the celbration of the Easter, in the English style ....
    Unite cultures and especially learn about the language they study, is the best option to learn the language.
    Great idea mate .... I point it to my future classes.
    Best wishes
