A video on Romanticism

"Romanticism is one of the most important historical events of all time. Unlike a lot of what gets called ‘history’, Romanticism isn’t a war or a piece of technology or a political event. It refers to the birth of a new set of ideas; it’s about a mindset and a way of feeling."

I've used the web tool VideoAnt to create comments/questions on the video History: Romanticism created by The School of Life.
@students: go to this link , watch the video and answer to the questions.

Be happy

Also this year we start with an activity taken from the webpage Film English by Kieran Donaghy. This lesson is designed around a beautiful short film which was inspired by Be Happy: A Little Book to Help You Live a Happy Life by Monica Sheehan. Following Kieran’s lesson instructions students speak and write about happiness, and watch a short video. As homework students write a short composition titled: What I do to live a happy life.

Watch the film on Vimeo.

@students: post your composition in commento.
