<h2>
Hello Guys!</h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, we're going to do something different. Do you know anything abouta type of literature known as 'choose your own adventure' literature?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-18x1Vj2TfEY/VIgz9dj8FHI/AAAAAAAAAcI/iGI1AW2tDJM/s1600/choose-your-own-adventure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-18x1Vj2TfEY/VIgz9dj8FHI/AAAAAAAAAcI/iGI1AW2tDJM/s1600/choose-your-own-adventure.jpg" height="320" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
That's right. As you can imagine, 'choose your own adventure books' are books in which you decide what happens next! I'm sure most of you read one of these books when you were young, as nowadays you don't find many.<br />
<br />
Well then, our friends from Youtube, TheFineBros (cheers to them and their awesome work), have created a game using the famous platform, in which you decide what happens next! Isn't that awesome? It is very easy to understand, fairly intuitive and everybody can access it.<br />
<br />
What I want you to do is to go to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9TG2IjvbLA">THIS</a> link here and start playing their little game. Be sure to remember what goes on, as when you finish your awesome adventure you'll have to write a small essay (free count of words, always try doing your best!) that you'll be handing next Monday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you like this kind of activities, so be sure to let me know. There might be more in the future if you do well! Be sure to also leave a like and a comment for TheFineBros and their amazing work.<br />
<br />
Good luck, young adventurers!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello everybody!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week we are learning a little bit about Phonetics, that crazy world!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here you have a link to the video we have already seen in class about phonetics, just in case you want to see it again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJG0uErf8WY#t=281" target="_blank"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Why are Phonetics important?</span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, you will see how difficult Phonetics can be. In the next video, you will listen to a poem called "The Chaos". Watch the video and select at least 10 words in groups of similar spelling or pronunciation. Look them up if you do not know their meaning <u>(Remember Wordreference is there ---->).</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6JzYkj5Pns" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">The Chaos</span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, in this link you can reproduce those words with different English accents. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Text-to-Speech</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Are all of them pronounced the same way? There might be some differences. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Let's play!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today we will be practising vocabulary. As we have been dealing with the topic 'Sports' these last two weeks, we will be playing a little bit with it and, also, with you own general vocabulary. You will find two links to two different games. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first game is <b>"Beat the Keeper"</b>. On it, you have to beat the goalkeeper as many times as you can in 90 seconds! Let's see who is the best football player in the classroom. Please, note down your scores, and <b>do not cheat!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/study-break/games/beat-keeper" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">Beat the Keeper!</span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second game will test your general vocabulary. Here, forget about Sports. You can write any word in English, but <b>correctly spelt!</b> Spiderman needs your help to climb a building. If you are too slow, he will fall. Do not let Doc Ock win. Again, note down your scores.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.funenglishgames.com/spellinggames/spidermanspelling.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">Help Spiderman!</span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do not spend too much time in each game, around <b><u>10 or 15 minutes maximum</u></b>, because after each game we have to award the winners! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, we will play one last time <b>altogether with Spiderman!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Good luck!</b></span><br />
