3.en.19 A Vindication of the printed book in Spanish, Catalan and English
Five years ago, inspired by a Spanish you tube video that went viral, a group of 4th ESO students from European Sections recorded their vindication of the printed book experience in Catalan. Also, Molly, our American assistant teacher at that time, recorded in two short videos the English version of “book” to celebrate Book day.
Five years later, let’s “retrieve data” to pay homage to printed books. In this pdf you will find the transcript. Maybe you’d like to memorise it (one line each) and put it on stage as the students of 4th ESO did 5 years ago. You are really good as choreographers, so let’s see… something really fun might come out of it. Good Luck!
Here follow the Spanish viral video, the Catalan version staged by European Section students and Molly’s English contribution.

Getting up early was worth it, wasn’t it?
