It's in English of course. It may be too difficult for your students, but email me if you're interested.

Let me know if you have any trouble downloading the song book. You can also find me on Facebook and message me there if you need to. I post my fairy tales, which are in the process of being published. They may be a bit young for your students, but they might still like them. Best wishes and let me know about any responses from your students.

I am a teacher in the Netherlands, teaching English to class 7 and 8 pupils. I am working on making a workbook themed around Midsummer / St John's Tide. Because of the lockdown we all have to work / teach / go to school from home, and I wanted to give them a sense of this period by letting them read, listen, sing and play games from their homes. The information on this website has given me a lot of inspiration. Is it OK if I use some of the material either here or on the PDF, included the illustrations in here for this workbook? Thank you for you reply.

I did break down and watch them just before the third movie, The Return of the King came out. Luckily, the production was close enough to my own imagination tbat it did enhance the experience. But mind you, I first read the books way back in 1973 or thereabouts and didn't see any film version until 2003, so I had 30 years of "owning" these books. I read the whole trilogy and The Hobbit many times in between. <br /><br />I get depressed when I think that most of the younger generations will see the films before reading the books, or never read them at all!Christine Natalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229816325785606031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843096852420067991.post-30918590061460771802010-12-06T15:29:24.142-08:002010-12-06T15:29:24.142-08:00"When we hear a story, we have to create our ..."When we hear a story, we have to create our own images.

I just experienced this myself the other day, and I'm an adult! I have been falling asleep reading Harry Potter books for years - like since they first came out in 1999 - but never had a dream about Harry Potter. I have been re-reading and re-watching them all recently so I'm really deep into the imagery. Still, it was a shock when, after falling asleep watching a making-of documentary the other night I had a quite scary dream starring dementors and Voldemort himself. Kind of creepy how those visual images on the screen make such an impact on our internal images. I'm conciously not watching the Percy Jackson movies for this very reason - I want to cherish and keep those images I made in my own mind, thank you very much :)Alysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820396354932192545noreply@blogger.com
