English Lovers' Club

The 4th of ESO students wrote, filmed and edited their own Short Films. The “premiere” was last 25th of May! They could choose the topic they wanted to and their creations are really good quality. It was rewarding to see how they use the English they have learnt so far “almost” without reading. Besides, some of them have proven to be aces at performing. Thanks for all your effort and work! Hope you enjoy watching these tiny pieces of art!

The 4th of ESO students have been debating about the Catalan educational system. Organisation:

1- They were randomly divided in 2 groups.

2- They were randomly given the position they would have to defend.

3- The positions regarding the issue were: FOR or AGAINST the Catalan educational system.

4- They had ro pick up a set of discussion link words or expressions. The more they use, the better.

5- They had to make a list of all the arguments and ideas that would support their position, so they would have to use them convincingly.

6- Each member of the team should talk for approximately the same amount of time.

7- They must use English at all times.

8- They must NOT interrupt their partners. Should they wish to do so, they can only interrupt them using the appropriate link word.

9- The team which accomplished to master 4 to 8 won the debate!

“Story Cubes” dice have already turned out to be quite a Montsuarian tradition. Writing stories can be an amusing way of improving their writing skills. That’s precisely what the 4th of ESO 2nd language students have done: they have written original and even outlandish stories with the help of “Story Cubes“. Some stories are funny and some others are simply… well, weird. If you happen to walk down the 4th of ESO corridors maybe you can have a good laugh.

Thanks for your work and enthusiasm!
