Assignment Deadline Extension

ESO 2, 3 & 4 Students,

Your assignment ("Just keep missing" comic) deadline has been extended from Sunday 12th April to Sunday 19th April.

Enjoy your Easter holidays, stay safe and take care.

ESO 2, 3 & 4 Assignment: 30th March - 19th April

Dear ESO Students,

During this extension of the lockdown situation, you will be missing 3 sessions (remember Easter Holidays extend from Saturday 4th to Monday 13th April). This is your assignment for that period. This is a group task. Just like for a PBL, you will have to do it along with your Olympic colour classmates.

It would be wise to distribute the workload evenly among each and every member of the group; some of you are good at translating, some are good at using image edition software, some are good at writing, some are good at organising teamwork... Now it's the time to use and take advantage of Skype, WhatsApp or whatever Internet communication tools you feel most comfortable with and get this job done!

Your task is to download, translate and adapt this inspirational poster (Just Keep Missing) by artist Gavin Aung Than into the language of your choice: Galician or Spanish.

You should translate EVERY SINGLE WORD IN ENGLISH YOU SEE IN THE COMIC STRIP, create a new jpg or png file and once it is polished and finished, the captain of each Olympic group will have to forward it to my mail... As it is a group task, only one e-mail per Olympic group is allowed (that means 4 e-mails per class or a total of 24 e-mails for ESO 2, 3 & 4). 

Keep the poster as it is: do not change any of the images. Just keep the same layout, fonts and colours as in the original, and substitute the English words (and only the English words, not the words in other languages, e.g., French) with your Galician or Spanish version.

Gavin Aung Than's favourite fonts are Creative Block and Red State Blue State.

Your file identification must be as follows: GROUPCOLOUR_CLASS.JPG or GROUPCOLOUR_CLASS.PNG. Example: RED_3A.PNG.

You must fill in the "subject" section of your mail messages with YOUR GROUP IDENTIFICATION. In your email messages you must also include the full names of each and every member .

No automatic translations are allowed (forget about Babel, Google or any other of those useless translation gadgets) and you bet we will easily find out if you use one: CRIME NEVER PAYS. You will have to use your talent. Make it sound natural.

The deadline is Sunday 12th April at precisely 23:59:59. ATTENTION! NEW DEADLINE! SUNDAY 19TH APRIL at precisely 23:59:59. No messages will be accepted beyond that point.

Remember that in our 'Online Dictionaries' section and our 'Resources' section (which you can find on the right-hand column of this blog) you will find all the tools you need to solve this PBL. We definitely recommend Wikipedia, Wordreference, The Free Dictionary, Linguee and Questions and Answers.

As usual, feel free to contact me at labor.teacher@gmail.com if you have any queries or doubts. I will try to reply as soon as possible.

ESO 1: 3rd Term PBL Assignment

COMICS!

Dear ESO 1 Students,

This is your last term PBL assignment. Now you will have to create your own webcomic.

To do so, you must craft a creative story and draw your own characters and their roles.

Your comic strips must contain:

- Layout (design)
- Imaginary and unique characters (give them names and moods)
- Dialogues (put your grammar and vocabulary into practice)
- Setting (draw the different places where the story happens)
- Plot (the whole story)

Here you have a video and a website with interesting ideas on how to create your webcomic:

https://www.gocomics.com/ (web comic samples)

After putting all your bright ideas together, you should shape them into cool and eye-catching comic stipes that will bring your heroes to life. Here are some online comic strip creators:

Makebeliefscomix

Pixton

Toondoo

webcomics (Google Play App)


Once you have finished your comic strip, you can send it by email or print it and hand it in in time.

The deadline for this assignment is Friday, May 31, 2019. No assignment will be accepted after this date. Remember that you can send your webcomics before the deadline.

There is an artist inside you waiting to create visual art and take the world by storm.


Good luck on your creations!

2016 Best Graduation Speech, by Mariña Allende

ESO 4 Students,

We give you this year's best graduation speech, by Mariña Allende. Mariña's speech has been chosen not only for its magnificent, deep contents, but because of the brilliant way she delivered it in front of her classmates.

Mariña will be delivering her speech again at your graduation ceremony to be held next Tuesday 21st at 13.00 in our brand new sports and assembly hall.

Good afternoon classmates, teachers, families,

Today is the day. Today we are going to say goodbye to this school. I remember my first day here as if it was yesterday. New city, new school, new people, new world. I was only eight years old, and now, I am sixteen. How fast! At that time, I was braver. I could make friends and I could find my place easily. It is simple: my place, my home, is where people I love are. This school has been a

great home.

I think remembering the school should be like remembering a person: in their beautiful moments. Because memories are made of people and of the moments they give us. That is why I am grateful to this school: it has allowed me to meet amazing and wonderful people who have built my memories and have made me the way I am. Thank you everybody.

Before, I said that I was braver when I was a child. I had doubts for a long time. I thought that I was not good enough. I thought that I was not good enough to do this or to do that; that I was not good enough to be an artist. Should I choose a different way? Should I do a degree with better career prospects? I hear it everywhere. So ridiculous!

Now, I do not have any doubts. Now, I am sure. I am sure that I do not desire that for me. We only live once, so we have to find our way. Let us walk our own way. We do not have to do what they expect from us, but what we expect from ourselves. Do not worry about the future. Future does not exist yet. Live your lives as you wish. We are the owners of our lives, and nobody can change that. Go on, enjoy yourselves and do not fear, because tomorrow is tomorrow. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Time goes only in one direction. If we think about future every second, we will miss present. And present is a present. Stop saying “maybe I…”

We must do those things we think that we cannot do. Make them possible. It is not only about studying, it is about life. Try to make our dreams come true. Fight for them. Never give up. Work hard. Continue working hard. And, someday, we shall not dream. We shall get it.

Thank you again, classmates and teachers, for your friendship, affection and time. I hope we will have an unforgettable school trip, plenty of laughs, smiles and funny moments.

I wish you all the best. So long.
