3ESO - TUESDAY 17TH - UNIT 6 - CHECKING WRITING AND STARTING THE REVIEW

Good morning everybody!

The first thing we are going to do today is checking yesterday's homework. So take your notebook (or sheets of paper) and your red pen and take a look at these pictures where you have the correct answers to the exercises from both the Student Book and the Workbook.

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

Have I included...

-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 explained what the problem is?

-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:

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)

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
