SPEAKING ASISTANT - ELECTIONS

Resultado de imagen de elections pictures or kidsMike, our speaking assistant, came to visit us once again last Friday. This time he showed us a video about a very influential British woman from last century, Emmeline Pankhurst, who defended the women´s right to vote and to have the same opportunities as men. After that, we pretended to have general elections in the classroom, with 2 different political parties defending opposite ideas: ice-cream vs cake, winter vs summer, mountain vs beach. Then we organised a debate where the representatives of each party exposed their ideas to promote their option. After that, we proceeded to vote and finally we did a live counting to see the results. 
Apart from having a great time, we learned many words related to elections: voting sheet, voting box, polling station, party, debate, campaign, ...
Thanks a lot again, Mike!!! We really appreciate your effort.
