Gunpowder plot


The 5th of November is an important day in British history. Over 400 years ago, a group of Catholics plotted against King James I. They decided that the King, his family, royals, bishops, and other members of the government must die because of the persecution Catholics were suffering in England. Their plan failed, and the plot's failure has been celebrated every 5th of November since.

This is the material I’ve designed for my classes. They are tailored for 4th ESO bilingual courses and 2º bachillerato students, as well as  students at B1-B2 levels.      I hope you enjoy them!

I let you the link to the videos  I used in the material above.

USING FILMS IN ENGLISH CLASSES: Jumanji welcome to the jungle

Every year, I like to watch a film with my students—no matter their level. Choosing the right film is key: it has to be something they enjoy, something that captures their attention. Of course, most of them prefer to watch with Spanish subtitles (their mother tongue), but I always encourage them to give English subtitles a try. In my experience, this makes a huge difference in improving listening skills and expanding vocabulary.

One of my favourite classroom films is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It’s fun, full of action, and perfect for keeping students engaged from beginning to end.

Here you can find the English trailer and a link to the teaching material I’ve designed to go along with the film.

I hope you and your students enjoy it as much as we do!

Back to school. First day activities. Students A1-A2


I know there is still a whole month of holidays left for some of us. However, in my experience, it’s better to have a good plan for the first days of class. Nice activities will help students get into the mood for learning. These are the activities I’ve prepared—I hope you enjoy them with your students!


The resource includes five varied activities for your English lessons:

1.  Word Cube: Students explore a word cube to identify and classify key vocabulary about people, school subjects, supplies, and places—then translate the words into their native language. (Solutions included!)

2. Wordsearch: A visual word search where students look for school‑related objects; words appear horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and backwards.

3. Motivating Sentences: Students match halves of motivational sentences, choose their top three favorites, and vote to select a class motto for the year.

4. Getting to Know Your Classmates Better: Students write questions to ask classmates, then interview each other to discover new things.

5. Crossword / Vocabulary Revision: A fun crossword to review and consolidate school vocabulary in an interactive way.
