The Day After Tomorrow

Time to say goodbye is coming. We are already in the last days of June and the course is going to finish very soon.

Well, this is the last film task you have to do this year. The film I have chosen to close the school year is "The Day After Tomorrow", a 2004 American science-fiction film that shows us the catastrophic effects of global warming.

If one thinks about it, it makes you feel really scared. Anyway, once you have watched the whole film I encourage you to do the "movie quiz" which is available in the following link:

Once you have answered all the questions and get the results of the quiz, please use the "comentarios" section in this blog and tell me what your score has been and which type of mistakes you have made, ok? Apart from this, I want you to write your opinion of this film. Use the following questions for help:

* Did you like the film? Why or Why not?
* Would you recommend it to your best friend? Why or Why not?
* Do you think that some day - in the distance future - something similar to what happens in the film could happen to us? Explain why or why not and say what you would do now to avoid the radical weather changes that happened in the film.

Finally, your SUMMER HOMEWORK...

You have to read the article available in the following link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After_Tomorrow

and write a summary of it in about 120 words more or less.

You can write the summary in a word document and send it to my email address or you can write the summary in the blog using the title "SUMMARY" and writing your name next to it, ok?

Well, and that's all for this year. Hope you have had fun. I certainly have enjoyed a lot with your class. What else can I say? It's been really nice to have you there every Monday and Wednesday and I really do hope that one day we can meet again in the same class.

Enjoy your summer holidays a lot!!! And see you in October...

STARS... Are they normal people?

After having watched Madonna's clip, what is your opinion of superstars? Do you think they are normal people? Or do they believe they are special? Do you admire someone famous in particular? If so, why do you admire that person? Have you heard of any scandal in which a famous star was involved?

Write you comments here and comment on the comments of other students if you want.
