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.
