Trailer of the Week - Inside Out

INSIDE OUT (2015)

Plot

When a young girl named Riley is uprooted from her Midwestern lifestyle and moves to the busy and chaotic San Francisco, her emotions; Anger, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and (her most important emotion) Joy, start to disagree on how to deal with this dramatic change, which causes problems up in Headquaters, the central living and working place for the five emotions.

Cuando una jovencita llamada Riley es desarraigada de su estilo de vida del medio oeste y se muda al ajetreado y caótico San Francisco, sus emociones; Rabia, Tristeza, Asco, Miedo y  Alegría (su emoción más importante), empiezan a discutir sobre cómo enfrentarse a este dramático cambio, que causa problemas en la sala de operaciones, la sede en la que habitan y trabajan las cinco emociones.

Read a book! - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum.

 PLOT:

When a nasty neighbor tries to have her dog put to sleep, Dorothy takes her dog Toto, to run away. A cyclone appears and carries her to the magical land of Oz. Wishing to return, she begins to travel to the Emerald City where a great wizard lives. On her way she meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. They all hope the Wizard of Oz will help them, before the Wicked Witch of the West catches up with them.

Difference between wake up and get up

Muchas veces confundimos despertarnos (wake up) con levantarnos (get up).
Este listening nos lo aclara un poco más

Click here to listen

The difference between wake up and get up is very small.  But I thought it would be beneficial to know the exact difference.  Wake up is when you wake up from sleep.  Get up is when you get out of bed.  Usually, when people wake up, they get up.  However, sometimes people just stay in bed.  In that situation, they couldn't use these two words interchangeably.  Here is an example dialog showing the difference.

Person A: 'When did you get up this morning?'
Person B: 'I got up at 11.'
Person A: 'You slept at 11 last night.  So you slept for 12 hours?'
Person B: 'No.  I actually woke up at 9, but I just stayed in bed.'

When you talk to people, go ahead and use either of these two words.  Just keep in mind that there is a small difference.

On a side note.  When you ask someone when they woke up, you don't use the past tense of 'woke' although it is referring to the past.  'What time did you woke up this morning' is incorrect.  The correct way to ask this question is, 'What time did you wake up this morning?'

Likewise, you wouldn't say, 'What time did you got up?'  The correct way to say this is, 'What time did you get up?'

THE PRESENT, AN SPEAKING CLASS

THE PRESENT

Watch The Present in Vimeo

Step 1
Divide the class into an even number of groups. Tell half of the groups that they have to come up with positive adjectives to describe character; the other groups have to come up with negative adjectives to describe character. Give them 10 minutes to come up with their adjectives.

Step 2
Pair students so that there is one member of the group who came up with the positive adjectives and a member of the group who came up with the negative adjectives in each pair. Their task is to compare their adjectives and to try to match the positive adjectives with a negative adjective. If they have not got the opposite of an adjective, they should try to supply it.

Step 3
Get feedback from the whole class, and write up the most common positive and negative adjectives.

 Step 4
In their pairs ask your students to discuss the following question:
What adjectives are normally used to describe teenagers?
Encourage students to use both positive and negative adjectives.

Step 5
Hold a plenary discussion on the question.

Step 6
Tell your students they are going to watch a short film in which they see a teenage boy. As they watch they should think of adjectives to describe the boy and his behaviour.
Show the film until 02:41.
