Good morning!

Remember that today we have a video meeting to check Student Book's exercises from last lesson. You can also ask me any doubt you have about them. Don't forget on your lasallechiclana.com mailbox you have the email with all the information you need about the video meeting. 

Now let's focus on today's work. As you imagine, we will continue with the exercises on page 51 from your Workbook. We are going to do exercises from 1 to 5. For those of you who don't have your workbooks at home, I leave you the captures below. 

But... as working with music is the best way of all, I leave you a song to play while you do your exercises.

Have a happy weekend! 

Enjoy each day with simple things!

Listen to music, dance, play, watch films, write stories, draw and paint...

3ESOA & 3ESOB - THURSDAY 26TH - UNIT 6 - WORKBOOK REVIEW II AND TRANSLATION

Good morning! The weekend is near!

But today we have to keep working on Unit 6, and remember you have a video meeting at 10:00 (3ESOB) and 11:00 (3ESOA). You got all the information in your @lasallechiclana.com mailboxes. 

1. We are going to do exercises 5 and 6 from page 55 on your Workbooks. If you don't have your workbook don't worry, I'll leave the captures and you can do them on a notebook or sheet of paper. 

2. Then, we are going to translate some sentences from Spanish to English. Yeeeeeees!!!! Your favourite activity ever!!!! I know the easy and WRONG way is to use Google Translator but remember that if you do that you are cheating yourselves. You won't learn anything at all. I prefer a wrong sentence done by you than a right sentence done by a robot. If you don't know how to say a word in English, use www.wordreference.com, it's the best online dictionary. Here you have the sentences:

• ¿Cuánta pasta hay en la despensa?

• ¿Hay suficiente tarta para todos los invitados?

• Clara va a empezar la universidad el año que viene.

• Daniel va a prepararnos la cena esta noche.

• No hay suficientes sillas en la clase. 

• Peter va a jugar al tenis online con mi hermana el próximo sábado. 

• Tenemos unas pocas preguntas sobre este ejercicio.

• Tengo un poco de trabajo que hacer, después podemos salir al pasillo a andar.

• Van a mudarse a una isla desierta tan pronto como sea posible.

• ¿Cuántos rollos de papel higiénico has comprado?

But... as working with music is the best way of all, I leave you a song to play while you do your exercises.

Have a happy weekend! 

Enjoy each day with simple things!

Listen to music, dance, play, watch films, write stories, 
chat with your friends, draw and paint...

URGENT TELEGRAM: INSTRUCCIONES PARA USAR EL LIBRO DIGITAL SMART PLANET

Como os comentaba en el email que acabo de enviaros, la editorial Cambridge nos ha facilitado los libros ONLINE para aquell@s de vosotr@s que los habéis olvidado en casa. Además, nos servirán para poder trabajar recursos de audio y de vídeo. Aquí os dejo un vídeo en el que os muestro como usarlo:

Espero que tanto vosotr@s como vuestras familias estéis bien. ¡Animo!

4ESO B - TUESDAY 24TH / 4ESOA - WEDNESDAY 25TH - UNIT 6 - RELATIVE CLAUSES EXERCISES 1

Good morning! A new week starts!

Bueno chic@s, empiezo con un parrafito en español, para recordaros lo importante que es que pongáis de vuestra parte en esta situación que nos ha tocado vivir. No os voy a machacar a ejercicios, solo unos pocos cada vez, pero tenéis que intentar hacerlos. De nada sirve que los profesores nos rompamos la cabeza para facilitaros el aprendizaje si tomáis la decisión de no hacer nada. Sé que cuesta. Sé que es mucho más fácil quedarse viendo la tele o jugando a la Play. Pero de esta situación sólo vamos a salir si todos ponemos de nuestra parte. Y de verdad que nuestra parte es más fácil que la de toda esa gente que tiene que salir a trabajar. Mi parte es no salir de casa y hacer todo lo que pueda para que sigáis adelante con el curso y os sintáis atendidos. La vuestra es no salir de casa y hacer todo lo que podáis por ir completando los trabajos que os mandamos. Sé que es muy duro. Pero también sé que podemos. Juntos podemos. Todo va a salir bien. Venga, vamos a por el trabajo de hoy.

Today we are going to continue working on relative clauses and pronouns on your Student Books.

So this is the planning for today:

1. Do exercises 1 and 2 on page 64 of your Student Book (For those who don't have the books you have the captures at the end of this post).
2. Play the video and pay attention to it. There I explain to you how to make a relative clause from two different sentences. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you watch it.
3. Do exercise 3. 

If you have any doubt or question remember to email me.

To finish up, I have something very important to tell you...

And that's all! Have a nice day and come back for our next lesson on Friday 27th!

(El viernes 27 continuaremos con más ejercicios y tendremos una VIDEOCONFERENCIA en la que corregiremos los de hoy. Os enviaré un email con toda la información el jueves).

4ESOA & 4ESOB - THURSDAY 19TH - UNIT 6 - RELATIVE CLAUSES EXPLANATION AND EXERCISE

Good morning! The weekend is getting closer!

Today we are going to learn about our second grammar section, about Relative Clauses. Don't worry because I have prepared something that will help you to understand everything without any problems.

I have prepared a slideshow with the Grammar Map about Relative Clause. BUT WAIT! Don't start copying, because as always, you will first have to listen to my explanation. So, here is what you have to do.

1. Play the audio file.
2. Follow my instructions!
3. You can find the slideshow HERE.
4. When you have finished listening, you can copy the Grammar Map on your notebook. If you don't have your notebook don't worry, you can copy it on a sheet of paper and when we can back you can paste it to your notebook.
4. To finish this lesson, you can do this online exercise.
6. Read the message below the video.

Paso a español para que no os quejéis luego de que "es que no lo entendí". Mañana viernes he preparado una videoconferencia. Cada curso la tendrá aproximadamente a su hora (para no haceros madrugar demasiado). Eso quiere decir que 4ESOA la tendrá a las 09:30 y 4ESOB a las 10:30. Aprovecharemos para solventar todas las dudas que tengáis, tanto de las oraciones pasivas como de las oraciones de relativo de hoy, y de la asignatura en general. Además, aprovecharé para hacer preguntillas y poner positivos. Para evitar que se colapse lo haremos de la siguiente forma teniendo en cuenta vuestros números de clase:

-Alumnos del 1 al 6 (ambos inclusive): 09:30 / 10:30

-Alumnos del 7 al 12 (ambos inclusive): 09:45 / 10:45

-Alumnos del 13 al 18 (ambos inclusive): 10.00 / 11:00

-Alumnos del 19 hasta último: 10:15 / 11:15

En el documento que enviamos a vuestras familias tendréis el enlace para poder entrar. Estoy deseando veros, ¡os echo de menos!

Today we are going to check last week exercises from the Workbook review. So prepare them and your red/pink/purple/green pen and start checking. On the audio below I you have the explanation of exercises 2 and 4. The others are easy peasy, but any way if you have any doubt or question you can send me an email and I will answer as soon as I can. 

Now we are going to watch a short film with a quiz in it. As you watch it, it will stop and ask you to do some things, as choosing the correct answer, writing your answer, ordering the words to make a sentence... just follow the instructions and each time you finish a question press the blue button. Also, you can repeat the sequence by pressing the return arrow symbol on the left. To start, just press the PLAY BUTTON. Do not change the Play mode I hope you like it!

To finish, if you want to get a positive, you can leave here a comment with your NAME, SURNAME AND CLASS, of 30 words about what you think this video teaches us and/or your personal opinion. 

And to finish up, I have something I want you to listen to...

Now let's continue with the writing. We are going to do it as we do in class. Check these questions.

-Have I included a title?

-Have I respected the margins of the page?

-Have I started with a greeting? For example Hello or Hi

-Have I included an introduction thanking for the email?

-Have I continued with some personal news using the be going to future tenese?

-Have I written about how I feel about it, and why?

-Have I included information about what I have done and/or haven't done?

-Have I asked for advice or help?

-Have I finished with my name?

If you have any doubt or question about the grammar you have used you can email me and write the fragments where you need help and I will answer as soon as I can. 

Now we are going to continue reviewing the content of the unit. So if you have your Student Book, open it on page 68. You have to do all the exercises there. For those who don't have the book, I have included the captures below. 

And this is all for today. Remember to be responsible, take care and stay home! 

4ESOB - TUESDAY 17TH / 4ESOA WEDNESDAY 18TH - UNIT 6 - CHECKING PASSIVE EXERCISES

Goooooood morning! 

Before we start checking yesterday's passive sentences, we are going to do a quick online review of PAST PARTICIPLES with this online exercise:

CLICK HERE

Now we are going to check the two exercises from last lesson. I will guide you through the checking by means of an audio file. It looks as a video, but it's only my voice. So take your red pen and your notebook, press the play button and listen to me as you compare your answers to the correct sentences you will find below the video. 

(La idea es que escuchéis el video a la vez que vais corrigiendo las oraciones. Así que paradlo las veces que haga falta, repetid lo que necesitéis... las frases son algo complicadas y tenéis que estar atentos a la explicación. De todas formas, si tenéis cualquier duda sólo tenéis que contactar conmigo por correo o mediante la plataforma)

Active to passive

1. Once a week, the house is cleaned by Tom
2. Right now, the letter is being repaired by Sarah.

4ESOB MONDAY 16TH / 4ESOA TUESDAY 17TH - UNIT 6 - PASSIVE SENTENCES REINFORCEMENT

Gooooooood morning! I hope you all are doing well!

Today we are going to continue working on passive sentences.

Copy the following active sentences on your notebook and turn them into passive. If you forgot your notebook don't worry, you can do them on an old notebook or some sheets of paper you have at home. 

Be careful because there are some tenses we haven’t worked yet in class. But with the scheme I gave you you can turn them without any problem. Besides, remember there are parts of the sentences (manner, time and place adverbials) which are not affected by passive changes.

(Recordad que para aquellos que os cuesta más, lo más fácil es copiar la frase, analizarla buscando el SUJETO, VERBO Y COMPLEMENTO DIRECTO. Una vez que lo hayáis hecho sólo tenéis que seguir los pasos que tenéis copiados en el cuaderno. AQUELLOS ALUMNOS/AS QUE TIENEN EL EXAMEN ADAPTADO, SÓLO TIENEN QUE HACER LAS ORACIONES 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 13 y 15. Para los que habéis olvidado el cuaderno en casa, os dejo una foto del pequeño esquema).

1. Once a week, Tom cleans the house.
2. Right now, Sarah is writing the letter.
3. Sam didn’t repair the car last week.
4. The salesman was helping the customer when the thief came into the store.
5. Many tourists have already visited that castle.
6. Someone will finish the work by 5:00 pm.
7. Sally isn’t going to make a beautiful dinner tonight.
8. At 8:00 pm tonight, John will be washing the dishes.
9. Jerry used to pay the bills.
10.  I knew John wouldn’t finish the work by 5:00.
11. They don’t speak English in this shop.
12. Kevin asked Dennis a question.
13. Somebody built the house last year.
14. She gives him a box.
15. Max won’t look after him.

Now we are going to do the opposite. Copy the following passive sentences into your notebook and turn them into active.

1. The jar was filled by Peter.
2. Reading is enjoyed by her.
3. The town will be destroyed by the fire.
4. The library has been closed.

Se va a habilitar una serie de horas para que nos preguntéis dudas. Así que cualquier cosa que no entendáis al hacer estas frases, o cuando las corrijamos mañana, apuntadla para preguntármela.

Take care and be responsible

3ESO - MONDAY 16TH - UNIT 6 - WRITING

Gooooooood morning!!!

I hope you are doing well...

Today we are going to continue working on unit 6, and we are going to focus on the writing section. So take your pen, notebook, Student Book and Workbook to start. Don't worry if you forgot them at school, as I have included some captures in this post, and you can use any old notebook or sheets of paper to complete your classwork. 

For this lesson, I have recorded an audio file to guide your work. It looks like a video, but it is only my voice! You can pause, rewind and play it as many times as you need.

If you need to look up for some new words, you can do it here. Choose the English-Spanish option.
