Talking about death is not always easy or welcome and English speakers have developed several ways of doing so without being too direct. Session I looks at literal uses of "die" and its related forms. Sessions II and III consider metaphorical uses, some euphemistic and some a little bizarre.
These advanced-vocabulary one-hour single-topic sessions focus on accuracy, appropriacy and on developing the speaker's range, while considering the many different forms, meanings and usages, both literal and metaphorical.
These sessions cover the Reading and Use of English test (Paper One) of Cambridge English's Advanced C1 (formerly CAE) examination. This section of the examination focusses on accuracy, appropriacy and on assessing the candidate's range.
Science in Lower Primary should not be a subject. For students, Science should be an exploration of the world around them while they develop scientific inquiry and learn how to follow scientific practice. For teachers, Science should be incorporated into daily activities and into the regular classroom. A laboratory and specialist equipment are not required; this science can be done on top of a table.

Lower Primary (G1 - 4, 1º ciclo) students are story-tellers, and will even make a tale out of what they had for breakfast. Take advantage of this impulse to develop and inculcate composition basics, and the organisation of thoughts within the context of language acquisition and development. This session includes tips for assigning topics and assessment strategies.
Lower Primary (G1 - 4, 1º ciclo) students are focussed on themselves and their world. They are particularly interested in and knowledgeable about their homes, their family and friends, and their hobbies and interests. Take advantage of this to develop and inculcate composition basics, and the organisation of thoughts within the context of language acquisition and development. This session includes tips for assigning topics and assessment strategies.
Writing is the least natural of all language skills, requiring guidance and practice, and it is that combination which places demands on teachers. The only way to develop as a writer is through producing written texts and receiving feedback, and providing that feedback takes time.
