Bye, bye and have fun!

Right, guys... this is the end!

Thank you for getting into this and doing your blogs! 

For me, it was a very positive experience. I really had fun watching your videos and activities, as well as getting to know a little bit more about you through them sometimes :)

What about you? Did you like writing the blog or not? What did you like the most? Do you have any negative comment for it? Would you change anything?

Write a final post saying goodbye and writing your personal opinion! (PS: You can also add some funny icon of yourself, if you want to)

My Disney Timeline

Guess what you have to do now... 

Yes! You have to create your own Timeline with Dipity and add, at least, 10 items including information and an image or a video! 
Have fun!

Brad's Love Story

Remember all the vocabulary related to love and relationships?

Now... you have to prepare a video telling the Love Stories about a person (real or invented)!

This is a speaking task! And this is my example!!

What do you know about Brad's Love story?

Well... I can tell you that during the 1980's and the 1990's he was involved in a lot of romances with different actresses, including Robin Givens and Juliette Lewis (who was 16 and, therefore 10 years younger than him!).

But then, while shooting Se7en he met Gwyneth Patrol. They got on very well, and he asked her out. They were dating, and then going out for a long time... they even got engaged! But they split up before getting married... nobody knows why.

After some time, a friend introduced Brad to Jennifer Aniston. It was love at first sight, and they got married in 1998, in a private wedding in Malibú. They were considered the perfect married couple in Hollywood... until Brad played a main role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith... Then, it was said that Brad was cheating on her with... yes! With Angelina Jolie. Brad and Jennifer had an argument and, finally, they divorced in 2005.

A month  later, the media showed photos which confirmed a relationship between Brad and Angelina. That summer, they appeared together more frequently, until they were called "Brangelina". Although there have been millions of rumours about them since then, they're still together. But will they be forever? Only time will say!

See ya!

A different Saint George's story

Legend has it, that Saint George was a knight who travelled on his white horse. 

He arrived to a village decimated by a fearful dragon just the day before the princess had to be sacrificed. 

With his sword and courage, he killed the dragon, saved the princes... and the village, of course.

But...

What would have happened if Saint George was an impostor?
     ... or if he hadn't killed the dragon?
     ... of if he had fallen in love with the dragon?

Think of your own invented story about Saint George and post it in your blog!

It can be a writing, a presentation, a video, a sound recording... choose your favorite format!

It is not mine, but this is a good example!

The fight club

The Fight Club is a movie directed by David Fincher and starred by Edward Norton and Brad Pitt (Tyler Durden). Is is also based on a novel written by Chuck Palamiuk.

The action takes place nowadays in an American city. The main character is the narrator of the story, interpreted by Edward Norton, but we never get to know his name. He describes himself as the typical “Ikea man”: obsessed with having everything he sees on Ikea's catalogues and new brands, but unable to feel anything at all. 

The story begins when he meets Tyler Durden by chance. By chance, as well, they end up living together and founding the “Fight club”, a club where men meet to fight, and whose main rule is “You do not talk about fight club”. All these facts, together with meeting a very strange but interesting woman, Marla Singer, will turn the narrator’s life upside-down.

In the end nothing is as it seems to be: Tyler Durden is not simply a man full of energy and criticism against society, and the Fight Club is an organization deeper and more dangerous than a simple club of fight.

Personally speaking, I think it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.What surprised me above everything is the ending of the story, and the final image is completely beautiful and poetic for me but, obviously, I cannot tell anything about it.

Now get ready to work!
Choose your favourite movie or TV series, and write an article about it!

My music band

What do you have to do?
Easy! You have to make a poster with a short biography of your favorite music band.

To do you it you can use:

 Padlet -> A simple tool to make a poster with text, video and images. Instructions available in Spanish,

Spaazee -> Aake a "notice board" where you can add text, video and images

Glogster -> For me, the most complete option. Problem! You need a student account. I can give you one, but this could be used for several students, depending on demand!

 This is the glogster about my favourite music band!
