Thank you!!!

The insides of my blog.

This is going to be my last entry in a few days because where I am going there is no wi-fi!! Can you believe it? But I did not want to leave without saying thank you to all of you who have been there. As you can see in the picture, there are already more than 50,000 visits in total (not bad for an educative blog in a year and a half).
I also wanted to give you the list of the top ten, that is, the most visited so you can visit them too. I am going to present them backwards, the last one is the most visited:

• World's Teacher's Day. (includes a funny cartoon about teachers)
• Simple Past Irregular Verbs. (you can find a very interesting mindmap -not done by me, this is homework for next course!!)
• Modal verbs for 2nd of ESO (the glogster is mine, I think it is interesting)
• THE WANTED "Glad you Came" (lots of people like this song and this group, I found it interesting because of the use of anadiplosis in the song)
• Love English Awards at MacMillan Dictionary Blog ( I presented myself this year to this Blog Award and we ended up in the third place, I also have to say thank you to all of my students who supported me)
• The Borrowers by Mary Norton (Burlington Books)
• Cervantes Meets Shakespeare by Ramón Ybarra Rubio (Ed. Burlington Books)
• A Sense of Danger by Tracy Simmons (Ed. Burlington Books) (These last three are short summaries and links of some of the readers we have used in our high school)
• Model composition: What did you do last weekend? (A composition model using the past and other resources)
• How to post a comment in this blog? The winner!! Many people have visited this post and I am happy to think that it has helped some of them to learn how to leave comments, not only in this blog but also in many others.

So, what are your favourite posts?

Ending the course

Present from my class.

This year I have started teaching in a new high school, not that it is new for everybody but it was for me. I was given a tutorship of a 1st ESO course and I was a bit nervous because it was a long time since I wasn't. It has been a long and hard course, many have needed a lot of help and I have done my best.
They are great little people, who will become great adults, each of them is special for one reason or the other and we have learnt a lot together about English and English culture, about adult life and  also about blogging, some of them are followers of this blog, they have learnt to leave their comments... some of them are also bloggers themselves (you can have a look at their blogs if you find them in the members of this blog).

Today, when I came to my class, they were hiding because they had this surprise prepared for me!! You can see in the photo, they offered me a nice, elegant clutch bag  and a poster of a mixture of their photos and a group photo of the class.

I wanted to thank my students, and their families; studying in a public school may be difficult but it gets easier if we work together, the families and the professionals.

Do any of  my students want to leave any comments? Any teachers? Parents? Please do!!!
