Unit 3 (for MF’s Ba1 students)

Dear students,
You can post here your compositions whenever you get to do it, even if you are on a holiday!
One more thing: I’m preparing some podcast episodes for you, on the Talking People Podcast, so remember to check it out every now and then. You can also post comments there, if you like the episodes, or want to make a comment.
At the English Department Blog (EOI Getafe) you have some links to specific (past) episodes. You can also check out the EOI Getafe website, English Department, which is full of very interesting stuff!
If you keep up your good work, after the holidays we can start watching TV series! Don’t be chickens! You’ve got to start getting used to TV in English! You won’t understand much, but you will learn not to panic when you hear English!
And remember: listen to English every day! 10 minutes is nothing and it’ll help you learn to speak.

Post sentences using the Saxon Genitive!

Unit 2 (for MF’s Elementary students)

For Avanzado 2 students – write on this topic! A short piece would be like a paragraph, about 100 words. You can write longer pieces, though, but it’s good to post pieces making very clear points (one, or several!).

Letters to people in prison

Writing people in prison is something Amnesty International, campaigns like Prisoners for Peace,  NGOs and networks ask people to do. Considering you are about to leave our school, here is an idea of how you can put your English to work!  
Leonard Peltier, a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota Nations, has been unjustly imprisoned since 1976. Here is a letter that the Facebook network in support of Peltier sent out today:
Hi Everyone,
Lets send Leonard a message knowing that we are thinking about him and we are not going to give up.  Lets send him a postcard, picture or greeting card with a buffalo on it.   Buffalo teaches us:  To remain well grounded,  Provide abundantly for others,  Find the strength to carry on our path,  Be in harmony with Mother Earth, To give selflessly from the heart with pure intent, The meaning of sacrifice, The sacredness of life.
I want this to raise his spirits.  Please mail him at: Leonard Peltier / #89637-132 / USP-Lewisburg / US Penitentiary / PO Box 1000 / Lewisburg, PA 17837
Peace,
Kari Ann
Assistant Coordinator
Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee
