Thansgiving´s Day

Hi students!

  Last week we were talking about this American celebration. We learnt many things about it and we were working on it in diffferet ways. First, we read, then we watched a video where we learnt and checked the language we had previously learnt. Then we watched the cartoons where all the things learnt were represented. I know that it´s difficult to uderstand  the first time you hear it. So now , you have the opportunity of  playing it as many times as you like. Enjoy yourself!

We all know how tough prepositions are! Practice is a good way to learn them that´s why I have chosen this multiple choice exercise where you  can check how much you know and learn new ones.  Try as many times as necessary until you get all of them correct. Remember to look up the words you don´t know in the dictionary you have in the blog.
