Thx David and Merry Xmas in advance to you and the rest of the classroom.

I've used this before and known about it for a while - but went out to a concert last night where this was played - got home and set to work. I'll post up a download for the movie later today.

Merry merry to you all in Spain! Again - congrats on your graduation too! It has been a big year for you.

Supporter Comment by ddeubel on December 13, 2010 at 3:43pm: You're both welcome - enjoy! I know educators really need stuff offline - so trying when possible to make it available. Also, the version on youtube is of horrible quality (youtube really over compresses video which destroys the quality!).

Supporter Comment by Roselink on December 13, 2010 at 7:09pm: It is a strange and tiring year since I decided (out of the blue almost) to change my field of teaching. I'm currently working in a Vocational School and everything is new to me. As a matter of fact, everything is new for everybody because English was not part of the vocational formative cycles (professional families) curricula until this school year.

I work 24/7 and against the clock, everything is to be done for today and I'm all alone in the English department. I am the English department, which means paperwork, staff meetings, board meetings, class preparations, materials, assignments, exams, 3 different programmes of study, search for resources for English for Specific purposes, etc, etc. And mine are really specific purposes.

There are three new modules of English: one for Pharmacy and Parapharmacy students, another one for Micro-computer systems and networks students and last but not least (quite on the contrary) Early Childhood Education trainees.

I've been so busy (still am) that I haven't been able to ask for help here. There was so many tasks to do I couldn't choose one. The truth is that I am exhausted, weary.

I'm really looking forward Xmas holidays! Thx for the congrats and have a very merry Xmas time too.

Hi Rosa, so nice to see you again : ) Wow, are your hands full!! The Pharmacy module reminds me of a job Adele had recently... filming a "soap opera" that was written to help nurses from the Phillipines learn English! She said it was the worst script she had ever read, but it was funny :D

Let me know if there is anything specific I can help with, Rosa... I have the time, just need an assignment : )

I have been mostly offline, lots of reasons ... But leave it to David's finds to pull me back again!

I am downloading the high quality version to put up on Portland Free School... the site has been so ignored since Spring!
