MONSTERS

These are some of the  funny monsters created by my 2ºESO Bilingual students for Halloween :

ENJOYING HALLOWEEN (activities)

This week we are going to watch some  flashcards  about costumes, Jack O´Lantern, skeletons and all these scaring things so we can practise our pronunciation and learn some songs  with Lauren Guimmell our Scottish Language Assistant.

Some ideas for our optional assignments are: 

• Students can surf the net for some information about Halloween to write a nice project and add some photos to decorate their class.
• They can write  a short paragraph about something they have done for Halloween in the past, for  example, what they have dressed up as or a party they have attended to.    
• They can invent a very short story related to Halloween, for example a spooky story.  
•  They  can draw a picture of their favourite Halloween "monsters"  and then write a short paragraph describing them.

I am sure there will be some funny surprises on Friday :-))

Have fun guys !
