(4) Song: "Can't stop the feeling!" by Justin Timberlake. (2018 Super Bowl hit)

Halftime shows are a tradition during American Football games at all levels of competition.

Entertainment during the Super Bowl is a fundamental link to pop culture and helps broaden the television audience and interest.

This year, Justin Timberlake was chosen for the third time to return to the big stage.

Timberlake closed the show with "Can't stop the feeling!", entering the stands at the conclusion of the song.

Here's a very easy listening comprehension activity.

You must complete while listening to the song:

	When we move, well, you already know
	Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
	But you dance, dance, dance
	Under the lights when everything goes
	Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
	All those things I should do to you
	So just dance, dance, dance, come on

Got this feeling in my body
Break it down
Got this feeling in my body
Can't stop the feeling...

(Got this feeling in my body, come on...)

P.D: Are there any songs that you want to use in the classroom?
Any suggestions?

(3) "Super Bowl LII"

"Super Bowl LII" was the championship game of the 2017 season of the National Football League (NFL), the 52nd Super Bowl overall.
Philadelphia Eagles defeated the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, 41–33, to win their first Super Bowl.
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was named Super Bowl MVP.

The game was held on February 4, 2018, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
It was the second Super Bowl in Minneapolis, and the sixth Super Bowl in a cold-weather city.

(2) THE PURPOSE OF THE BLOG - MANIFESTO

Una mansión junto a un lago suizo en verano, un selecto grupo con algunos de los mejores autores de su generación, un temporal que les retuvo durante tres días entre aquellos muros... y una apuesta.

La suma de esos factores propiciaron un portentoso resultado: "Frankenstein" se convirtió en una inmortal obra literaria y la apuesta fue ganada por una "menor de edad" con la que a priori nadie contaba, superando en ingenio a rivales tan consagrados.

Mientras escribo estas líneas, fuera de mi casa está nevando, no puedo salir sin riesgo de congelarme o resbalar calle abajo... así que decido arremangarme, inaugurar este blog de propósito didáctico y plantear una apuesta a todo aquel alumno que lo lea: 

"atrévete a participar compartiendo tu ingenio, todas las aportaciones ayudarán a crear nuestro propio monstruo de Frankenstein... tarde o temprano cobrará vida".


P.D: Outside this Villa, the weather is always miserable. We are locked inside so... let's make the best out of it!

(1) INTRODUCTION: "Villa Diodati"

The Villa Diodati is a mansion in the village of Cologny near LAKE GENEVA in Switzerland, notable because Lord Byron rented it and stayed there with his personal doctor John Polidori in the summer of 1816.

Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley, who had rented a house nearby, were frequent visitors.
The group was also joined by Mary's stepsister, Claire Clairmont, with whom Byron had had a love affair in London.

Because of POOR WEATHER, in June 1816 the group famously spent three days together inside the house reading horror stories.
“We will each write a ghost story”, Byron suggested imperatively.

Thus began a competition to see who could come up with the scariest tale. The rest of their holiday seemed dedicated to this endeavour.

Two of those stories became milestones of the Gothic horror genre: "Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus" by Mary Shelley and "The Vampyre", the first modern vampire story, by Polidori.

Thanks to poor weather, it turned out to be a night to remember...
