Dear C1.2 students,
As
Coronavirus continues to dominate our current situation, we have been forced to
cancel our face-to-face classes. However, we will substitute them and take
online sessions instead. Every class day I will give you instructions on
how to keep on studying English. Please, take advantage of the lockdown and
establish a routine. This way, we won’t waste time and will be able to cover
the contents we are supposed to cover.
I will use
my blog to upload information and give instructions. I have activated the comments
in case you need to ask any questions. You can also ask me questions via this
email address aromeroa@edu.jccm.es or
via Papás 2.0. The problem with Papás 2.0 is that it is overloaded and
it’s not manageable, since all schools in our region are using it at the same
time. I will also try to send an email to the representatives of your group in
case Papás 2.0 fails.
You will
send me your written production, written coproduction and written mediation
tasks to my email attached in a word document. I won’t be able to mark
your compositions if they are jpg, pdf or any other format that I can’t
manipulate. So please: attached document in word
format. Include your name and the name of the task in the title of
the word document. I will send you the document back once it’s been
marked. You need to respect the deadline, since I will be receiving different
tasks from different students and groups. If I received a delayed composition,
it would be really easy for me to mess up.
We won’t
interrupt the presentations. You will record a track lasting 5 to 8
minutes. Please, don’t be tempted to read it out loud because it’s extremely
noticeable. After recording it, you will upload it as an attached document on
Padlet.com, the “digital bulletin board” we are using to post the summaries of
our presentations. It means all those people who want to make the presentation
have to post the summary and then attach the track with the presentation.
This will be the same as doing it in front of the class and your classmates
will be able to listen to it. I recommend you to listen to your
classmates and ask them questions about their presentations. Try to use the
contextualized questions that we have learnt. In your summaries on
padlet.com, remember to mention your name (if you haven’t created a profile),
the date on which you are making your presentation and the title of your
presentation. You have this information on my post anyways. Please,
respect the deadline here too.
Regarding
the grammar or vocabulary activities, I will tell you which ones you should do
and later, I will offer you the answer key.
I hope
everything is clear as clear as day. If it’s as clear as mud,
please let me know and I will answer any questions.
We are
going through a very difficult an rare situation. I hope that at least
these online classes will help taking advantage of the lockdown.
Please take
care. I hope to see you safe and sound in not too many weeks.
Ángel
