Here is one of my favourite songs... I post you the video with the lyrics so you can sing together if you want... You will practice your English!!!
This song is from Israel Kamakawiwo Ole. He was a Hawaiian musician.
The song is called "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and its a mix from The Wizard of Oz "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" song and the Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful world" song.
This song is about life, humans and nature...
We live in a Wonderful World...don't you think?

Open Class Forum
A place to write your opinions, give ideas, say hello, recommend internet sites, congratulate your mates, or chat with the Teacher!
It won't be an online discussion site, nor a chat room (as msn is) but if you want we can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.

Any question about blogs?
We are going to use this post to share our opinions and our knowledge in how to create blogs.
If you have any doubt after our class explanation about 'how to create a blog' this is the place to ask!
Some important issues about your social studies blogs:
1. You can organize your blog however you want.
2. It is not compulsory to attach homework, exams or important links; they are just useful ideas.
3. Try to be clear and organised.
4. Presentation is important, but it should show a clear mind.
5. Try to reorganize your blog as you are using it.
6. English is compulsory.
7. Write in a correct and formal way.
8. The blog should show your interest in the subject.
9. Visit regularly our Social Studies general blog, there will be useful class information.
10. Visit your mate's blogs, they will give you some good ideas!
How is it going to be marked:
- Completed tasks
- Organisation
- Interest for the subject
- Internet research
- Use of the blog (practice & innovation)
- Creativity and presentation
- Use of English
From now on, your blog will be your noteblog.
*IMPORTANT: If you don't have internet, you should complete your homework in your notebook. Not having internet is not an excuse for not having it done and it will mean a negative point in your final mark.
You should still use your notebook. I will be collecting notebooks in each exam and at the end of the term. Exercises, class notes or unit summaries should still be included in your notebooks. A noteblog will be an addition to your notebooks.
