Anything that helps us (you and me) to improve our competences in English.

For the time being, there is a section for ESO, another one for Batxillerat and a more general one, called Department, for my collegues and me. We can add new ones according to your suggestions.

In each section you will find:

  • important announcements and reminders
  • the dates for tests, readers, projects
  • your projects
  • revision or extra exercises
  • the content of each unit
  • your compositions
  • your suggestions for different activities
  • comments on your peers work
  • …

On the POSTS page there are some examples of things we can do during the course:

  • making films
  • recording our voices
  • embedding videos
  • …

On the RAG-BAG page we can find a bit of everything. Current issues, interesting things we’d like to share with others, …

How does this blog work?

This is a multifunctional blog. It works like a normal blog but it can also have static pages for our projects!
