Hi guys,
I've been following your conversations in the forums till (or until, Jaime) now and I have to say you are living up to my expectations! Again, this page is yours, not mine. I think we found a way to break the walls of our classroom and the time we spend studying English.
Have you ever thought about how useful it is now for you? What is something you would be losing if you hadn't started studying this language?
Well, this is one question you can answer in this forum, but I have another topic for our discussion now.
At first, I thought we could only use subjects that interested you, but life is not that funny, is it?
After the horrible event in a school in Rio de Janeiro, when a 24 year-old man invaded a school and shot many children killing 12 of them, I thought we could have a little discussion about that.
So, first of all, I would appreciate if you could watch the video below: New Boy
Now, try to answer the questions:
Who is Joseph and where is he from?
What is the teacher like and how does she discipline the children?
What do the maths exercise remind Joseph of? What happened to his father?
How does Joseph react to Christian bullying him in the classroom? And in the playground? Why?
How do children usually react to bullying?
Why do Joseph, Christian and Seth end up laughing together?
What is the message of the film?
I'll build this page slowly, I have another slide to post, but let's first talk about the video.
If possible try to write sentences using the grammar contents we have been studying:
Thanks again for your participation
