Dear all, this is a little valentine poem competition with my Elementary/Pre-int children (c11 yrs) old here in Viseu. Would you be so kind as to listen to the poems written and read by them and do two or three things:
1. Vote on your favourite one by clicking on the poll
2. Click on comments and write a brief comment on their poem - they'll be oh so excited to get some feedback!
3. IF YOU KNOW the students, try to guess who is speaking and write their name in the comment box.
Thanks and hope you had a fun valentines!

Guys here we go the valentine's show! For grade 3 and grade 6 - and anyone else out there in IH Viseu or the wider world of efl who wants to have a go!
Listen to the instructions and then write your own valentine's message. Record it, but don't say your name. Then we can all listen to each of the messages and try to identify the speakers!
What do you think? Cupod, huh?!

Have a look at/listen to this site to get some ideas: http://dreamteam.podomatic.com/ - they are the people I got the idea from! Say "thank you" to them!!
