About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

"I Have a Dream"

50 years ago, Martin Luther King delivered the iconic speech "I Have a Dream" that we all know. I had planned to present a timeline, but History Channel has a fantastic short video that I've embedded below to share with you.
This speech with all the biblical associations, references to Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and to the Emancipation Proclamation and the use of rhetoric can be used in class to approach multiculturalism, race relations, racism...



Happy Dreams, y'all!
