This a nice tool I’ve been using for a while and that I want to share with you.
I normally try not to waste too much paper or ink but very often I find very nice things online I need to print. PrintWhatYouLike.com lets you print just what you need without wasting tons of paper. Some of the options this site gives you are: hiding background , images , margins,choosing the font , …etc.
Here I am again!!!! Summer has slipped by and I can hardly believe that I am about to start a new school year. This year I’ll be teaching in a different high school and yeeesss, there are some butterflies in my stomach!! I don’t know the teachers , I don’t know the students… and they don’t know me. It’s hard to start all over again. This year I’ll be teaching lots of different levels (OMG!) mainly due to cutbacks so , sadly, I don’t think I’ll have much time to research new tools or create new materials .
Anyway, these are some of the pictures I’ll be using on the first day to try to make my new students relax and have a healthy laugh and, then, there also follows some other pictures to get them into more serious thinking. My aim: to make students talk. Is there ever any other?
Summer´s here and totally in motion. These last two weeks have been hectic and I haven’t been able to post, so sorry if you have kept coming back to the blog only to find I hadn’t added a single thing.
If you have followed the blog for a while you may remember that in June me and my blog take a long holiday.
In four days I’ll be leaving for Jerusalem (Israel) to take a course and do some research on the Jewish Holocaust and the politics of Nazi extermination during the Second World War. I know! Nothing to do with teaching English but … this is an issue that has interested me for a lot of years! 🙂
So, please drop by at the end of the summer and be happy!

Maria Mena has, long ago, won my heart .She released her first album when she was fifteen and writes all the tracks on her albums which are known for their raw emotion and honesty. This song Habits is from her new album Viktoria released in September 2011.
