Then you must record a video of yourself delivering your speech (you may use a mobile phone, a camera, etc.) and upload the clip to YouTube, Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc. and send the link to me by e-mail (all you have to do is make sure you create a private channel on any of those platforms so that only you and I can have access to your videoclip and keep it completely private.)
Do not send your videos, only their link.
I must be able to watch the videos online without downloading them!!
I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD ANY VIDEOS WHATSOEVER.

The deadline is Friday 29th May at precisely 23:59:59.

ESO 1 - Oral Presentation Assignment

Dear ESO 1 students,

After our Easter holiday break, we are back… online! Although these were atypical holidays for all of us, I hope you were able to get some fun out of it.

I will now proceed to explain the details for your next assignment:

The next task involves an oral presentation. You will have to give a speech for at least 5 minutes on a topic of your choice. You must use some visual aids, such as Power Point, Prezi, Google Docs, Adobe, or any other presentation software you feel comfortable with. Once you are done with your Power Point (or such) and you have gained enough practice on your speech, you must record yourself (you may use a mobile phone, a camera...) and send the clip to labor.teacher@gmail.com. Recordings must be sent to the aforementioned address by Sunday 26^th April. Hence, you will be working on this project during two weeks, those lessons that will be missed on the 15^th, 16^th,17^th, 22^nd, 23^rd and 24^th April. Note that it is vital that both you and your visual aids appear on screen, as I will be assessing the following items:

- Presence: the speaker maintains good eye contact with the audience and is appropriately animated (gestures, moving around etc.).

- Language skills: correct usage of the language, appropriate vocabulary and grammar, fluency and clear, audible voice.

- Organization: clear logical structure.

- Mastery of the subject:  the student is familiar with the contents, the presentation contains accurate information and it is spoken, not read!

- Visual aids: the presentation software contains enough slides to support the oral speech; the slides are not loaded with boring amounts of illegible text but amusing images and short pertinent headlines and brief information written in a proper font size and colour to support the speaker.

- Deadline: the submission deadline is met.

Since you have already performed several presentations in Galician classes during the 1^st and 2^nd term, you should have an idea on how to give a quality oral speech. In any case, should you have any queries, doubts, suggestions, difficulties or comments of the sort, please, email me at labor.teacher@gmail.com.

Best regards,

Raquel

ESO 1: Easter Reading

Dear ESO 1 students,

So this unusual second term has officially come to an end and Easter “holidays” are approaching… Certainly not the type of holidays we would dream of, since all of us must remain home for some extra time. In any case, as reading is always a delightful pastime, why not spending your Easter lockdown enjoying a book?

I suggest you have a look at Helbling’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist for kids, and read it if you’re in the mood. Note that this reading is voluntary and won’t be marked nor checked.

You can read the online version clicking on the link below. Although it includes some “before reading” and “after reading” activities, the text goes from page 17 to page 66.

Warm hugs,

Raquel

What's Up in the Night Sky for April?

What's Up: April 2020 Skywatching Tips from NASA.

What are some astronomy highlights in the sky in April 2020? This month, Venus visits the Pleiades; Mars, Jupiter and Saturn begin their breakup; and we ask, "What is the Moon illusion?"

Read the video transcription here:

What's Up for April? The Seven Sisters meet the evening star, Mars continues its getaway, and unpacking the Moon illusion.

At the beginning of April, look to the west each evening in the couple of hours after sunset as Venus visits the Pleiades.

Watch each night from the 1st through the 5th, as Venus climbs higher in the sky each evening, crossing through the Pleiades star cluster. The real highlight is on April 3rd, when Venus will appear inside the Pleiades — meaning it'll be in the same field of view through binoculars or a telescope with a wide field of view. This should be spectacular if the weather's clear where you are, so here's wishing you clear skies.

The planetary quartet of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and the Moon once again make a showing in mid-April. Since giving Jupiter and Saturn the slip last month, the Red Planet continues its getaway from the gas giants in this month's morning skies. Mars begins the month just beneath Saturn, but by the middle of April, it's moved a decent distance away. The Moon swings by on the 14th, 15th and 16th. The three planets won't appear close together in the sky again for a couple of years, so catch them now if you can!

Poetry Translation Quiz

ESO 2, 3 & 4 Students,

1 point up for grabs in the next test for the student to send to our e-mail the first correct answer to this quiz:

Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) wrote the poem To His Coy Mistress (which you can listen here). The first two verses of its third stanza read like this:

Now therefore, while the youthful hue

Sits on thy skin like morning dew...

If you had to translate these two lines into Spanish using the first two verses in a very famous sonnet by a 16th century Spanish poet and soldier... What would your translation be?

Carpe Diem!

April Fools' Day 2020

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is a day celebrated in many countries on April 1st. The day is named for the custom of playing practical jokes and hoaxes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbours, or sending them on a fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, such as the UK, Australia and South Africa the jokes only last until noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool". Elsewhere, such as in Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Russia, The Netherlands, and the U.S., the jokes last all day.

ESO 1 Assignments: 1st, 2nd, 3rd April

Dear ESO 1 students,

As this lockdown situation is extended, we will be missing three more English lessons, the ones on the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd of April.

Below, you will find the activities proposed for this week: the first two worksheets are related to Youtube videos that you must watch in order to complete the activities. The last worksheet has to do with grammar points already discussed in class. Either you can print the copies to write your answers on them or do it on a separate sheet on your notebook.

As usual, if you wish, you may send me your answers to labor.teacher@gmail.com. In case you need any help or have any questions, please contact me at the aforementioned email address.

Best regards,

Raquel

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.

Daylight Saving Time 2020

Daylight saving time (DST)—also summer time in several countries, in British English, and European official terminology—is the practice of advancing clocks so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

When DST starts in central Europe, clocks advance from 02:00 CET to 03:00 CEST.  

Though mentioned by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, the modern idea of daylight saving was first proposed in 1895 by and it was first implemented during the First World War. Many countries have used it at various times since then.

This Too Shall Pass

Have you struggled with really awful experiences and wished they would quickly pass? Or cursed your strings of bad luck and wondered when the bad streak will ever end? What about the other end – have you ever let a great victory get into your head and made bad decisions? Consider the following story.

There’s a famous fable of an ancient powerful king. As powerful as he was, he often struggled with emotional highs and lows, and that had caused him heavily during critical moments in battles.

The King was prone to periods of great elation where he would make very poor decisions, and periods of great despair where he would get extremely upset.

One of the kingdom’s wise men created a ring for the King, a device that would help stop him from getting lost in his high and low moments.

The King asked, “How does it work?”

In the Time of Pandemic, by Kitty O'Meara

(Reblogged from The Daily Round)

And the people stayed home. And they read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And they listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live, and they healed the earth fully, as they had been healed.

How to Protect Yourself Against the Coronavirus

Here are some tips for staying healthy and preventing the virus from spreading: 

• Don't Panic. 
• Frequently wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
• Don't touch your eyes, mouth or nose.
• Clean and sanitize surfaces in your home regularly. The virus will live on surfaces for over 2 hours.
• Practice social distancing. Don't get too close to people, especially if they seem sick. If someone is coughing on the bus near you, move away.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow and dispose of used tissues.
• If you are sick, stay home, wear a mask around family members, and clean things you have touched.
• If you have a fever, cough, and/or difficulty breathing, call your doctor before going in so they can tell you how to proceed.

Most people get better on their own. There is currently no vaccine or cure to the virus but symptoms can be managed.

The WHO has great information about COVID-19; check out this link:

ESO 4 Homework: 16th, 17th, 18th; 23rd, 24th and 25th March

ESO 4 Students,

According to instructions issued by the authorities, we will be missing 6 sessions: Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th, Wednesday 18th, Monday 23rd, Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th. I am giving you now some information and activities to cover Unit 7 ("Perspectives").

Please split and distribute these tasks evenly for those 4 sessions. Do not try and do all of them at one go. A good idea would be to sit down at your usual desk at home at the same time as we would be having our class and work non-stop for 50 minutes.

If authorities decided to extend the present situation, more contents, activities and exercises would be published on this web. So don't worry if you haven't finished all of the activities I am proposing you by Wednesday 25th. Just try and do your best and as much as you can.

If you need any help or have any queries or doubts, please contact me at labor.teacher@gmail.com. I will try to reply as soon as possible.

Before we begin, I would like to give you a piece of advice: now it is the time to be responsible, to help our parents and families, to be positive, (pro)active and patient, even cheerful. It is not the time to complain or to be a burden. We all have a perfect opportunity to read, to work on our weak points, even to think and meditate, to try and become a better version of ourselves. And remember: there are things much more important than exams or school marks and qualifications.

Please take care and stay safe. All the best!
