April / May 2022
I'm an English teacher and I've created this blog for 7th, 8th and 9th grade students from Escola Básica Hermenegildo Capelo, Palmela, and their teachers. The purpose is to motivate students to participate in English. I/ We/They can share opinions, curiosities, information, thoughts, short comments and/ or texts about topics discussed in classes. Learning English can be fun!
World Book
and
Copyright Day
"READ … until no strangers remain.
WHY READING IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER!
On World Book and Copyright Day, especially in uncertain times, we must cherish and defend books as symbols of hope and dialogue. (…)
On World Book and Copyright Day, UNESCO calls on its partners to share the message that books are a force to address contemporary challenges, to understand political and economic realities, and to combat inequalities and misinformation.
Storytelling is an incredibly effective tool when it comes to educating younger generations. Indeed, books are vital vehicles to access, transmit and promote education, science, culture, and information worldwide. For this reason, every year, on 23 April – a date that marks the departure of three great authors of universal literature, Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega – we celebrate their captivating power to spark innovation, generate knowledge and change minds."
Do you know that … ?
On this date people celebrate the
International Day of Mine Awareness.
Every Year on 4 April, International Day for Mine Awareness
and Assistance in Mine Action is observed to spread
awareness about the threat caused by landmines
to the safety, health, and lives of civilian populations and
encourages state Governments to develop
mine-clearing programmes.
