ICT IS THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
We have a controversial topic at school, about ICT is the future of education.
On the one hand, we have changed our methods, because it was not a modern methodology.
Although we have a computer room, we would also need more computers in class and start to work whith them.
If we used computers at schools, it woulb be very useful for children, since they could learn how to use them and how to look for different information.
In contrast, teachers should be taught how to use new technologies because nowadays there are teachers without this training.
Finally, in my opinión we can combine both methodologies, especilly with ICT because it is a modern method and also the future of education.
WRITE AN EMAIL TO A FRIEND TELLING HIM O HER ABOUT YOUR FIRST YEAR AT COLLEGE.
Dear Alice,
How are you? I hope you’re happy in your new city! I’m writing to you to tell you about my first year at college.
At first, I was a little lost with the new subjects and teachers but now I’m happy whith them.
The best thing has been that I have been some friends like Cira, Anna, Rosa, but also I’ve made new friends!
After doing my exams I hope that the results will be good because I have worked hard and we have had projects.
Now that summer is arrive I want to work in a summer school and do many activities, such going to the beach, sunbathing, going to de hippy market and eating a lot of ice cream!
I hope that you can come son to visit me!
Love,
Amanda

We hope that the children will have fun learning and practicing all about vocabulary and new grammar.
AIMS

Practicing basic grammar and interact with each
MATERIALS
Music
Computer
Space with cushions
AGE: 4 or 5 years
TIME: 30’
ACTIVITY:
First we will need a computer and a projector for some online activities. We will go to a space with cushions.
Second we will see a nice video of fruits and other foods. At the end we will comment the video, and we going to practice a little conversation, in pairs or three children. One of the children will pretend to be a waiter and the others children pretend to be customers at a restaurant. I will prepare a blackboard with the topic conversion in a restaurant, but the phrases will lie around. Children will have to arrange in the true order and make a conversation.
The next class we will continue with the same vocabulary and add more vocabulary about food.

New Year's Day
NEW YEAR’S DAY
In England people celebrate New Year’s Day because it is the first day of the New Year.
This day has always been celebrated in a quiet way because the night of 31st December, New Year’s Eve, is usually the night when people have parties until the early hours of the morning.
Traditionally families get together al lunch time and have a large meal. This includes toast turkey, roast potatoes and parsnips, fresh boiled vegetables, gravy which is a sauce made of the juices from the turkey, and various other sauces.
Families will talk about how they welcomed in the New Year.
In the afternoon, quite probably, the men will sit around the table and play cards while drinking Scotch whiskey and the women will chat over coffee. The children will most likely play with their toys from Father Christmas.
In classroom
One day we are going to talk about New Year’s Day. We will start with different questions about this day. For example we can ask:
Can anyone tell us when we celebrate this?
Do your grandparents come for lunch on this day?
Do you remember what kind of food you eat?
Later we can tell a fairy tale about New Year’s Day and finally do a perform a play.
