Talk about yourself (writing)

We are already approaching the end of the academic year. We are going to review a little bit today the most important things of this course. Look at the top picture. That girl, Mary, talk us about herself. You, like her, must use nine sentences:

1. A greeting.
2. Your name.
3. Your age.
4. The month of your birthday.
5. What you have and what you don't have.
6. What you can do and what you cannot do.
7. What you are wearing.
8. Your favorite animal.
9. What you like for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Here you have a PDF worksheet so you can write those sentences and make your own drawing. Remember everything we studied this year and follow the example of Mary's sentences. This will be easier. You can color your picture if you feel like it. 

If you can't print the PDF worksheet, you can also do it all on a separate sheet.

Please, at the end, send me your worksheets to fogarnews@gmail.com.

Colours and feelings

We have found this wonderful story that you will surely like. It is based on the book The Color Monster, by Anna Llenas. It tells us about a monster that is feeling bad and confused because it has a great hubbub of colors. That's because he also has a lot of confusion of feelings. We can help him by ordering his colours so he learns to recognize his feelings.

yellow = happiness (felicidad)

blue = sadness (tristeza)

red = anger (enfado)

black = fear (temor)

green = calm (calma)

After putting each feeling in a diferent jar, we can look them more closely.

Happiness shines yellow like the sun. (La felicidad brilla amarilla como el sol)

Sadness is gentle like a blue rainy day. (La tristeza es suave como un lluvioso día azul)

Anger blazes red like fire. (El enfado arde como el fuego rojo)

Fear is black like the night. (El temor es negro como la noche)

Calm is quiet like the trees. (La calma es tranquila como los árboles)

Watch and read the story carefully several times. It doesn't matter that you don't understand all the words. Anyway, you can check the ones you want in this online dictionary.

Finally, to practice the vocabulary of colours and feelings, do these activities: here, here and here.
