Been
ages since I've posted - was doing
BBC blog in
December, struggling with the snow (we don't do
snow very well in this country) and a hundred
other things. Have also done a lot of work
reconstructing the site and there's plenty of
new stuff to check out here.

Who
knows what happened to the boy who didn't fly away
in a balloon? But a Californian man did really fly
from his garden in a balloon tied to a chair. You
can read about it here.
Beatles Learning Activities

The
remastered Beatles albums and the new video game
have generated a lot of interest.
The Story of the
Beatles is a
good starting point for projects and other
classroom activities.
The learning activities page is here: http://www.gradedreading.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/TheBeatlesStory/activities/quiz.html
Working on a Beatles Webquest - will post when ready.

The Beatles

All Beatles
fans (and there are a fair few of us) are eagerly
awaiting the new remastered editions of our
favourite albulms. Check out the various
documentaries on BBC Radio 2 on BBC Iplayer.
You might also try introducing your students to my Story of the Beatles - there are plenty of youtube clips, plus a couple of audio documentaries I produced myself.

Thanks to
the wonders of Scribd, I've been able to embed PDFs
of some of the most popular materials on the site.
There is a new version of The Mary Celeste
and
slightly revised ones of The
Signalman, The Body
Snatcher and
The Marble
Finger.
Many thanks to the visitor who pointed out some major typos etc in the original version of The Marble Finger.

New Young Learners material

Learners
Some new
materials for young learners:
1. Fred and Rita: a series of dialogues which first appeared in Ming Pao Daily.
Fred and Rita are college students. Rita needs to work but Fred always wants to talk!
2. Nocturnal Animals: this came out of my six-year-old daughter's school project. The subject for her UK SATS exam (!) inspired me to prepare something at elementary level.
