Horse Races ON THE BEACH!

If you love horse races, then here is one that has a twist to it.  Instead of racing the horses on a racetrack, the race is held on the beach.  Yes, on the beach.  This event takes place the 2nd and 4th week in August every year.  This year it takes places on August 10-12 and again on August 25-27.  It kind of makes me want to book a flight to Spain and check it out!

Silent Movie

I found this video at EFL Classroom and plan to use it with one of the upper Spanish levels. 


Find more videos like this on EFL CLASSROOM 2.0

I may use it for simple describing activities, or imperfect vs. preterit, have students add scenes, etc. How would you use it?
