Pirates and Presidents

The two-week wait is over, we're back! Today our topic was current events, and we dealt with two main topics: U.S. presidential election (which will be held in ten days) and internet piracy. We had discussions in groups about both the election and internet piracy, and I think the students found internet piracy more interesting. There were definitely some interesting thoughts and opinions! We also read magazine articles on both topics. At the start of the lesson, we watched two clips from the presidential debates. The first one was actually from the debate. I'm not sure about the second one.

We started the second lesson with the song of the week, this time chosen by Wayne Teller. It was certainly something different. Plus, it was extremely funny! We'll be back next week with a proper blog entry.
