Christmas rap

A group of students from 3rd ESO has created a Christmas rap. This is what we did:

First of all, we translated the Christmas Catalan song: "Hi ha d'haver un caganer", then we chose a few lines from the resulting song and we finally sang them along. We used the app Smule AutoRap to remix the lyrics with the melody of Ganghan Style. 

The final tune is a bit crazy, especially since we had to translate the word Caganer in English, a term not always easy to explain.

Anyway, here we share the hit, hope you like it, or at least makes you laugh ;-)

The Scarlet Letter

These days we’re working the universal literary masterpiece The Scarlet Letter created by the north American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne. Here’s a word cloud resulting from this famous novel. In class we’re going to talk about the main ideas you’ve come up after reading the story and these words might help us.

Wishing you well!

Before we started Christmas holidays the students from SO2n created what we called "Wish Trees". We cut out coloured cardboard strips and we wrote a general wish on the front side, on the back we wrote a more personal wish and a resolution for the New Year! Here's is the result.
