Thanksgiving Day

As you know, Thanksgiving Day is as important for American people as Christmas for us. They meet, celebrate and enjoy  some days remembering some important moments in their history. If you want to know more about the origin of this festival and how it is celebrated nowadays you could try to do this "treasure hunt". Here you will see some links to answer short questions and after collecting a lot of information, you will be able to answer the big question.

Welcome to all the students in 2º D

I want to welcome the pupils who are in the second course of ESO at IES Carmen Conde. As you know we are getting in touch with new technologies little by little; that's the reason why we have started with the first courses and now, we are going to try to follow with you.

To start with, I'm going to show you some grammar websites to practise for our following exam which will be especially based on simple past tense (Unit 3 of English Alive 2) and  present simple and present continuous.

My favourite food

Do you know your teachers' tastes? Look at this  video and try to interview your teachers asking the same questions. You can write a report about their favourite food, the worst food they have ever eaten, if they cook at home and what restaurant they prefer, etc...

Spaghetti and meatballs

Have you counted how many times we have seen this dish in our unit? In Spain, we usually eat spaghetti with mince meat cooked differently, but it seems in Italy and in England they do it in a different way. We are going to work using a video with this recipe made by Jamie Oliver, one of the best known cook in the world. You can choose between two activities:
a) Copy all the steps you must follow to cook the spaghetti with meatballs, or

b) Make a list with the tools used by J. Oliver during the video.
