MULTICULTURAL SNACK using a CONVERTOR

• On May, when we finish the book we are going to prepare a BIG MULTICULTURAL SNACK. But before we have to learn to read ENGLISH RECIPES.
• In pairs you are going to receive a recipe which you will have to prepare. But first we have to read ENGLISH MEASURES. Let's practise 1 first.

In your recipes you will find this:
3 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 tablespoon (tbsp)
16 tbsp = 1 cup (c)
8 ounces (oz) = 1 c
2 c = 1 pint (pt)
2 pt = 1 quart (qt)
4 qt = 1 gallon (gal)

SPEAKING SPANGLISH

THIS IS THE THEATRE PLAY YOU ARE GOING TO SEE on 11/02/08:
by Blue Mango Company

This cross-cultural comedy follows the exploits of a Spanish girl who is coming to live in Britain for a year. Warned by her parents to watch out for “bad food, bad weather, unfriendly locals and football hooligans” she has some interesting preconceptions of how Britain will really be. On her journey she realises that some of these stereotypes are not altogether true and that Britain can be both diverse and welcoming. Wherever she goes she keeps running into Charlie, an English student she met on the flight over. This could be the start of something good… But with so many preconceptions and prejudices about each other, will they ever manage to get together?As we follow her adventures into the unknown we take a humorous look at stereo-types, traditions and customs of both England and Spain. We ask the audience to help her on her way by participating both verbally and physically.

MUSIC PROJECT 2

Your project will be divided into some STEPS:

STEP 1: You prepare a Christmas English song to do in class.

STEP 2: You choose a Spanish/Catalan group you like and you choose a song. You invent the lyrics of the song in English. The lyrics should be about PEACE, CHRISTMAS TIME, IMAGINE THE WORLD, WINTER, etc. I will give you more ideas.

You do not have to sing the song... it can be a RAP!!! A type of poem, etc.

STEP 3: You have to choose an ideal place, ideal clothes you will need to record your videoclip.

STEP 4: You will record the videoclip.

STEP 5: We will create a blog with our videoclip, etc.

HAVE FUN. I will tell you the groups on Wednesday 7/11/07

In a few days, I will explain you about the project that you have to do. This will give you a mark too.
