Hi, everyone! It’s been a hard term, but I decided to refresh this blog with new ideas/suggestions for 11th grade students. The 11th grade classes are going to start Module 2 related to environmental problems and ethics. Well, I hope these suggestions provide you a broader view on the subject and don’t forget to check the supporting website. Maybe you can find extra material to study the grammar aspects of the units/Module. See you!

Remember that someone once said: “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

It's my life - Bon Jovi

Here's a song that makes you think a little bit about what's really important in life and the importance of the choices you make. Jon Bon Jovi said in an interview: "It's my life, and I'm taking control. Everyone kind of feels that way from time to time".
