MODELING HOW TO WRITE ABOUT OUR TALENT!


Here, there are two of the written productions students
from last year, Sara Buitrago and Francisco Magaña, came up with for our talent show. They consistently used past simple and expressions of time. Last year, students named the talent show "Born with A Natural Talent".
Let´s start thinking about our name.

Take a look at it... Liliana


















Pictures are not really good...originally they were taken for our site last year.
Here you can see the sequence of different activities we did.
