Hi guys,

today we talked about a movie extract from the Lorax in which you had to memorize as many things as possible with the correct location on the screen. You did a good job memorizing except 2 students who were mistaken...

Then we continued with the video, we imagined the conversation of the family and finally we saw how fake trees were pretty cool in the future... Summer, Autumn, Winter and ... disco!!! But where is Spring!!!???

Here is what we said about the video:

The story is in the future.
A family is having dinner in the middle.
They are eating jelly mushrooms.
They are talking about real and fake trees.
The tree has a remote to control the lights for the seasons (summer / autumn / winter / disco!!! / spring)
There is a disco ball at the top of the electronic musical tree.

Vocab:
- son / daughter
- curtain
