A tribute to the best singer ever!

John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 ( during WWII).

Little John with his uncle George.

John with his auntie Mimi, who took care of him on his childhood.

John's father, Freddie Lennon, wasn't a very good dad. Their parents got divorced when he was 5. His dad didn't want to know anything about John till he became rich and famous. What a cheek!

You can see John and his mother Julia, who taught him how to play the banjo and ukelele. Unfortunately, she was killed by a car driven by a drunk off-duty policeman.

The Quarrymen, John's first band. He was aged 15 when he met Paul McCartney...and the story begins right here...

Gorgeous Cynthia Powell, John's first wife. At the beginning of their career, The Beatles didn't want people to know he was married. Young girls were crazy about them...

He married his second wife, Yoko Ono, on 19th, March, 1969, in Gibraltar. For some people she was responsible for The Beatles' break-up.Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon. You can tell which one is Yoko's and who's Cynthia's.

John having a lollipop while resting from shooting "How I Won the War", a film made in Almería.

He also wrote 2 books.
He was very creative, he tried drawing as well.

During the Vietnam War, they spent 2 weeks in bed asking for peace. One in Montreal and another one in Amsterdam.

Mark David Chapman assassinated John on December 8, 1980 outside The Dakota Building, where Lennon lived with his wife, Yoko Ono. Mad Mark asked him for an autograph and while taking a picture of them he said , " This picture will be historic!". Later that night, he went back to the building and waited for John to arrive. When he saw Lennon he asked: "Mr. Lennon?". Then, he aimed 5 shots at him and , unfortunately, 4 of them hit him in the back.

He claimed he had heard a voice encouraging him to kill this great singer..

R.I.P. Mr. Lennon!!

Rosa, here you have a mini tutorial that will help you create the leaflet for Integrated Project. I don't know your version but I think that doesn't matter, I suppose the last one ( 2010) would be a bit more modern ( same function and more options, maybe).

I hope you find the info useful. If you happen to know more questions...you know what you have to do, right?

Bye!

A piece of advice...

For those students who can play the guitar and , fortunately, have very nice voices...listen to these songs and learn them by heart and who knows? Maybe you could do a street performance to earn a little bit of money for the trip!





This girl seems familiar...







If you have a David Ghetta and many instruments...try these

English Speaking Countries Webquest

Hi girls and boys, I have to divide the class into groups of 4 to do activities together and to help your classmates understand and get them involved in the learning process of this language.

The first task for you this term as a group would be the following. Click here

MOVEMBER ( a neologism for "moustache" and "november")

Movember is a month-long event celebrated every year around the world. Instead of running or walking to raise some money, men grow

moustaches. Movember Foundation charity raise funds for men's health issues ( for example, prostate cancer or depression).

I'll write some rules:

1) You must begin Nov 1st with a clean shaven face.
2) Your mo mustn´t join or touch your sideburns ( patillas) because it would be considered a beard.

Let me introduce you to a friend of mine who's growing his own mo. ( Some of you might have seen him in Broadstairs). We'll see at the end of the month how big it can get!

By the way, for those who love music, click on the picture below.

OATMEAL PORRIDGE... Yummy! ( for some...)

Don't know what to do on this long weekend? If you aren't travelling ( at least today) Why don't you go to this "party"? I'm sure it would be great ( I'm not very keen on that type of dessert, but anyway, I'll be there to help them raise some money for the cruise)

So if you don't have any other interesting activity...see you there!
