Benjamin Black

A recommended book by Benjamin Black titled The Silver Swan( El otro nombre de Laura.Alfaguara). I saw it in Babelia El País last weekend and thought it was interesting.It is the pen name of John Banville.

Recommended book and film by Alan Bennett

Here is a film titled "The history boys" who deals with teaching.I think it is good to watch films about different types of teaching styles.

And Alan Bennett's last novella " The uncommon reader" who comes out being the Queen of England.A book about how reading can be fascinating, magic and entertaining.

Demands for next year course

I would like you to write your training activities for next year.I would like you to think about courses, seminars or training activities to work in your school and with other English teachers working in other schools.
The idea is to satisfy you as much as possible, to share the knowledge among English teachers both primary and secundary,to plan them in advance, sequence them and surely enjoy and have some fun as well.Learning and improving has to be done in a friendly , confident and enjoyable environment.
Hope to receive new ideas from the ones we have been working in the last three years.
Give titles and specific needs to cover.
Yours sincerely,Chelo.
