The Cuchoo Fair ...phonecall dialogue!

B Seniors had fun writing, decorating and practising with their friends the dialogues they wrote pretending they were attending the Cuckoo Fair and tellling their friend what they could see and do there. Just enjoyed the simple but as it proved out to be quite creative project!

The task was suggested by the coursebook we're using in class, Forum 1, Unit 3.1, express publishing.

'cause we're proud "to be greek"!!!!!!

I played it in class today just to find out that I can share the same feelings of pride and excitement with my students. They were as touched and honoured as I was!

Mom, You are the Perfect Fan!!! Happy Mother's Day!

The Perfect Fan (Backstreet Boys)

It takes a lot to know what is love

It's not the big things, but the little things

That can mean enough

A lot of prayers to get me through

And there is never a day that passes by

I don't think of you

You were always there for me

Pushing me and guiding me

Always to succeed

You showed me

When I was young just how to grow

You showed me

Everything that I should know

You showed me

Just how to walk without your hands

Cause mom you always were

The perfect fan

God has been so good

Blessing me with a family

Who did all they could

And I've had many years of grace

And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face

I wanna thank you for what you've done

In hopes I can give back to you

And be the perfect son

You showed me how to love

You showed me how to care

And you showed me that you would

Always be there

I wanna thank you for that time

And I'm proud to say you're mine

'Cause mom you always were

Mom you always were

Mom you always were

You know you always were

Cause mom you always were

The perfect fan

I love you mom

On Mother's Day

I Remember

Today we wrote some very nice "I Remember" poems and here is a sample of them:

I Remember

I Remember watching the fall of the sun and the rise of the night.

I Remember looking the fallen ones passing in front of me.

I Remember when fires of blood covered the earth.

I Remember the desperate looking for a remedy.

I Remember standing in the twilight waiting for a miracle.
