This is me

This week, we will be producing introductions to ourselves...
The detail and quality of the introduction depends on you, but here are some areas which would be good to include:

Your favourites:

• -entertainment - books, films, songs, actors (& actresses), programmes, singers, groups
• - foods, drinks, restaurants, things which you can cook! 
• - sports - sportsmen and women, which sports do you play outside of school, which teams do you like

Your family - include some details about your family, try to include anecdotes if possible
Pets
Interests outside of school
Interesting facts (e.g. about Seville or your name)
Ambitions and dreams for the future

We're going to be using http://popplet.com/. Eventually, we're going to embed the presentation in your English blog so we can see them all.

You will be writing information about these topics as well as including pictures and youtube videos, so think about using the following expressions:

• I'm really into...
• I love...
• I used to love... but nowadays...
• Usually I...
• I am used to ... (i.e. I have become accustomed to...)
• I would like to
• Although many people ..., I ...
• I have always...
• To be honest...
• This is ..., who is...
