In this occasion i leave you the remake of the well known story Cinderella: CINDERELEPHANT!


 I hope you enjoy it!

Let's make an Illustrated Report.

According to what we have seen...

1.- Think of a profession that you would like to practice when adult.

2.- Look for general information such as:
*Where would you work?
*What would you do?
*What would be your main duties?
*etc.

3.- Write a small paragraph in which you include this information about the profession you chose.

4.- Include an Image.

5.- Share your work with your classmates on a new POST and comment their work.

Job mixer!

Check out  this website!

1.-Here you'll find some interesting activities to practice your English in a fun way.
The next link will take you directly to a job mixer in which you will be given instructions about the clothes that each character wears according to the profession and you may select the correct outfit.


2.-Have fun and explore all the possibilities in this website!!! :D

3.-After exploring the site discuss on a new comment what was the activity that you liked the most and why.


4.- Recommend a good activity in the site to your classmates.
 
 

Can you guess what WE are???

1.-The following text is disordered.Read the paragraphs and try to put them in the correct order by ordering the letters in your comment. 

2.-In a new comment discuss your answer with your partners what you and they consider to be the correct order.


A)             But THIS can be a dirty job. WE have to clean exhibit areas. Many of US work outside in rain, heat, and all sorts of other weather. WE sometimes carry heavy containers of food. And because animals eat every day, most of US work on weekends and holidays. Zoo work can also be dangerous. Wild animals can bite, kick, scratch, or spread disease. WE almost never pet the animals.   

 B)            Many people like animals, but taking care of them is hard work. WE take care of wild animals in zoos and animal parks. WE feed the animals, clean their living spaces, and work to keep them healthy. WE watch the animals to see if they are sick or hurt. WE need to watch and listen carefully to notice any changes in behavior. WE write detailed notes about each animal and tell a veterinarian if there is a problem.                      
C)             Teaching people about animals is another of OUR tasks. WE answer people's questions and give presentations. People who like animals often like working with them. WE like getting to know the animals. WE also like helping with research. And WE like learning how to help endangered animals in the wild.

D)             Some of US give the animals objects to play with and explore. Many animals like playing with logs, sandboxes, and even water sprinklers. WE often hide food for the animals to find. Playing with food and toys helps animals stay active.Sometimes, WE train the animals to make caring for them easier. For example, WE train elephants to lift their feet so that veterinarians can check them.

3.-After Reading the text please try to discover what's the profession described on the exercise. Post your answer as a comment and discuss with your classmates.

4.- Make a drawing in which you portray the profession described above and upload it. Comment on your classmates' work.
