Stories

Do you remember your interesting literature display?
Some time ago you brought to your English lesson an item connected with you and literature. Many showed to us your favourite books. But what is a fable?

Use 2-3 different sources to find information on the topic to be able to join the class discussion on Tuesday. Bring with you notes and examples. Think also about Slovenian fables. Don't forget to note down your sources.

(Postcard by Ronald Searle from 1975)

Time expressions in my life

I went shopping on Saturday afternoon. I didn't spend a lot.
I haven't seen my students since Friday...

Choose some of the time expressions below (at least 5) and write sentences about your life:

1. on Saturday afternoon
2. since 7.30 this morning
3. since Friday
4. yesterday
5. last month
6. up till now
7. in July 2007
   
8. for more than three years
9. last night
10. for 10 days

If you want, you can change the time expressions (e. g. numbers, days, months...) or even add your own ones.
I hope you can do this task by the end of this week.

Creative writers

Gregor, Anita and Kaja R. took up the blog challenge of writing about happiness in rhymes. They did a great job. You can read their wonderful poems here.

Game shows

I know that some of you are nuts about TV. Today you can choose between two tasks: a real one or an imaginary one.

1. Do you watch game shows? What's your favourite? Why? What do the contestants have to do? Would you like to take part in a game show? or:
   
2. Use your imagination. Describe to us a game show of your own that you would offer to TV stations for a broadcast on their channel. Think of the title, contestants, rewards...
   

Bloggers of the Month

Well done, class. Almost everybody has joined our class blog and contributed at least one comment.

But some deserve to be pointed out due to the number of comments or the quality of their contributions in February.
I'm proud to announce Bloggers of the Month: Anita, Matjaz, Gregorijev, Sanja, Jimmy, Edina, Kor, Hana, Shovel-chin and Sugarholic.

Keep up the good work everyone!

One-hit wonders

In the field of music one can come across "one-hit wonders". Are you familiar with this term?
Magazines, web pages, etc. often publish Top of … lists. Here is an example of a list of bands who had one hit wonders. I wonder how many pieces of music in this video you recognize. What are your impressions of them? Is the list fair at all?

Personal music tastes differ. What are your music favourites? U2 and Jon Bon Jovi are at the top of my BEST-EVER list.

Music fans, I'm waiting for your comments!

Television rules!

The first voting on this blog has shown that my students learn most of their English from television.
Do you agree with the results?
Why do students still need English lessons at school?
