Our second term reading adventure, Wonder , is starting right now! Get ready to see people from another viewpoint! Here you are the official movie trailer:   Based on the New York Times bestseller, Wonder tells the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman.   Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.   As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out. The bestseller is already waiting for you at the School Library, on the ground floor. Do not miss another minute and get it!

All along the first term of this 2018/2019 school year, my ESL students have been reading different books. My A1 ESL bunch chose their own basic abridged books back in October, read them thoroughly and recommended their readings to each other in an amazing book club discussion . Besides, they have been inspired by their first term reading in order to go into the kitchen and cook some tasty Christmas food, which then they have brought to school and signed up for the traditional Christmas recipe contest that the school has been holding for 25 years now. This way we are combining mediation, reading, speaking and writing language activites, with fun and enjoyable learning. Here you are their awesome outcomes, which we hope you find inspiring too!: On the other hand, my C1 ESL students have concentrated on reading a single book for the first term: ' The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society ', and so have contributed to the digital collaborative educational p...

On 13 December 2018, B2.1 and C1 ESL students gathered together at EOI Luarca, Room 32, first floor, for our first book discussion club meetup , after having been reading ' The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society ' novel for nearly three months. Reading is much more than opening a book and thumbing page after page. Reading means imagining the time and location where a novel is set, understanding the characters and their reactions as well as putting yourself in their shoes; analysing the authors' styles and backgrounds, reviewing, commenting and feeling the whole story, so as to later celebrate your learning with your class peers in a social event. For example, a school meetup.  This is obviously time consuming and involves prior work before joining such a book discussion club meetup, and the B2.1 and C1 ESL students who attended last Thursday's meetup were up to the challenge, and even thought of empowering everybody's brains ...
