In the class of Social Sciences (1º ESO) we are studying Weather and Climate. Here I leave some activities with a song to practice the vocabulary of Weather, some idioms on it and the link to the youtube video where The Weather Girls sing "It's Raining Men".

Dictogloss

¡Hola! 
 Dictogloss es un tipo de actividad que permite a los alumnos asegurar el vocabulario y las estructuras gramaticales de una forma motivadora. Aquí os dejo un ejemplo sobre el lanzamiento de un disco por una banda, pero, lógicamente, esta activdad puede realizarse sobre cualquier tema y en cualquier asignatura.



Mogwai:  
Music Industry 3. Fitness Industry 1.
 

Earlier this year, Mogwai released their eighth album and then reissued their second one, and listening to both, one could reasonably conclude that the Scottish art-rock quintet have either evolved considerably over the past 15 years or not at all. Sure, Mogwai songs are no longer the time-bombs they once were; now as reliant on sci-fi synths as nuclear guitar blasts, their more-than-ten-minute epic songs have been reduced to more digestible, pop-friendly forms. But on an album-to-album basis, that change has been so incremental, it can seem like Mogwai have stand still. While their old sneak-attack tactics have been replaced with more carefully orchestrated ascensions, their music has nonetheless retained the slow-moving tension and uneasy atmosphere that defined the band’s early efforts
