Dear students, a time of happines and joy is coming with the major event of our Anglo Mexicano Secondary School: The 2017 Annual English Fair. I hope you all enjoy this event and show how much you have learned. I'm sure you will give your best!
***************************************************************************
March 10th is a special day; all junior high school students will have the opportunity to prove their skills in oral communication through our great event called English Fair.
In this event, students (by teams) will create, prepare and develop a speech about a TV show. They will decide on materials, outfit, accessories and stand decoration. The day of the event, they will show their work to the audience.
Each student will be evaluated in two parts: Work in class and work in the event. This one includes the participation of parents through a special passport they will get and fill up with their visit to the stands.
It's important to mention that the grade you receive in the event will be valid to all four English subjects: Use of English, Literature, Science and Social Studies, and that grade will be respected by every teacher.
