World Health Day

April 7th is World Health Day and as a way to commemorate it, here you are a film. Click over the image below to be directed to BrainPOP site, and see this time, a movie about the human body. The movie is close-captioned but watch the video without subtitles first for comprehension purposes and watch it with subtitles later on. To do so, activate the CC buttom (closed captions = subtitles) by clicking on the icon CC on the lower part of the film. Enjoy!



A follow-up activity is forthcoming.
