To clear a little space in the .......... of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't ........................... without a way back into love

And if I open my ART to you
I'm hoping you'll TELL me what to do
And if you help me to BEGIN again
You know that I'll be there for you in the BAND

FILMS


I went to the movies and I saw
WORDS AND LYRICS with HUGH GRANT AND DREW BARRYMORE

The film is about a famous Pop Star of the 80's.After going through a difficult period (he didn't sell many copies of his solo album )Alex Fletcher wants to be famous again and is offered the chance to compose a new song to be sung by Cora Corman, a famous singer.
He can write the music, but he desperately needs to find a good lyricist. He accidentaly meets Sophie Fisher ,the girl who waters his plants ,and who is also a talented lyricist. She writes the words and...of course, they fall in love.
If you want to know more about this film click the link on the right and watch the movie trailer.

You can also listen to the song "Back into Love"(the link's there too) and complete the tasks on it.

Actividades para alunos

Os alunos do 11º ano, turma C, e 1º ano dos Cursos Profissionais, turmas G e H, da Escola Secundária Poeta Al Berto em Sines,são especialmente bem-vindos a este espaço que foi criado para comunicar com eles.
Aqui poderão encontrar informações sobre filmes, música, passatempos e assuntos de interesse na actualidade.
Pretende-se que comentem, sugiram e dêem opinião sobre os temas que aqui se abordam.
Os materiais são Ingleses e espero que isso os motive a participar também nesta língua. As participações em Português também serão bem vindas, claro.
As actividades estão organizadas por anos de escolaridade para facilitar a pesquisa dos alunos, mas esse facto não impede que os alunos dos outros anos dêem também uma espreitadela.

Apresentação


Olá a todos!
Primeiro que tudo a justificação para o título do blog. Sou uma das três professoras de Inglês que se orgulham de partilhar o apelido. Para elas ( a C. e a N. ) vai um beijinho muito especial e o desafio para participarem com comentários e ideias.
Este blog está a ser desenvolvido no âmbito de uma Acção de Formação sobre "A Utilização das TIC no Processo Ensino / Aprendizagem" da responsabilidade do Centro de Formação Contínua de Professores de Santiago do Cacém, Sines e Grândola . O objectivo deste trabalho é desenvolver materiais de trabalho on-line para utilizar com os alunos das turmas que lecciono.
Pretende-se que este espaço seja não apenas um local de interacções educativas, mas tam bém um pretexto para trocar opiniões e experiências com os alunos.
Um bom trabalho e muita criatividade no nosso trabalho
Leonilde
