PRESENT CONTINUOUS.
You are about to watch a funny video to practice the use of present continuous in English:

WHAT TIME IS IT ?

Telling the time in English.

En inglés, se pregunta la hora de varias formas, las más comunes son:
What time is it? se traduce en español: Qué hora es ?
What´s the time ? se traduce igual que la primera expresión.
Could you tell me the time please ? esta expresión es más formal y se traduce: Me podría decir la hora por favor?
Voy a dedicar esta entrada a explicar de una manera sencilla como se dice la hora en inglés a nivel básico. Para ello, incluyo dos clips. El primero está en español y el segundo en inglés. Después podéis poner en práctica lo que habéis aprendido realizando una serie de ejercicios que se encuentran en los siguientes enlaces:

SHAUN THE SHEEP TV SERIES

Shaun the Sheep Activity.

I would like to devote this post  to Shaun the Sheep TV Series and how we can use its episodes with our students in the classroom.
First of all, I will include some information about this series:
Shaun the Sheep is a British stop-motion animated television series, a spin-off of the Wallace and Gromit franchise. It has been very popular not only in the U.K but also around the world.
Besides, a film called "Shaun the Sheep the Movie "has recently been released at the cimenas which I strongly recommend.  For further information you can look at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_the_Sheep.

Each episode is very short so it is ideal for a lesson, since you show the video and then you do the exercises related to that episode. Additionally, it is good fun, the students love it. It could be used as a warm-up or cool-down activity to revise vocabulary for example in a different lesson.

I will add a Reading Comprehension activity which I created and did wih my  2º ESO students aged 12/ 13. This is the link: Shaun the Sheep Activity

Finally, I will embed one of the episodes that includes the song that students can sing along at the end of the lesson.
