Good morning! Ready for your Thursday?


SPEAKING PRACTICE LIST WITH BRANDON
Please, turn on the camera. Seeing someone’s face while you talk is more pleasant than seeing a black screen. Don’t be distracted by mobiles or other technological devices. It’s very unpolite.

Happy nice morning kids!

We have been confined for 51 days and I have never told you that I admire you children. So it’s time  to congratulate you for the great effort you make doing your homework every day at home. Most of you send me the work that I ask for and I perceive the effort behind it:  It is exciting that children your age try to overcome this crisis that we are living with your integrity.
You are great guys. Congratulations. ♥️
I also want to congratulate your parents for the enormous effort of working at home and taking care of you. It’s very hard. But we are strong!

Llevamos confinados 52 días y nunca os he dicho que os admiro niños. Así que es el momento de felicitaros por el gran esfuerzo que hacéis cada día en casa. La mayoría de vosotros me mandáis las tareas y percibo el esfuerzo que hay detrás de ellas. Es emocionante ver niños de vuestra edad que tratan de superar ésta crisis que estamos viviendo con vuestra integridad.
Sois geniales chic@s! Enhorabuena. ♥️
Felicito también a vuestros padres por el enorme esfuerzo de trabajar en casa y cuidar de vosotros. Es muy duro. ¡Pero somos fuertes!

SOCIAL SCIENCE
1) Selfcorrection:

a) The two institutions that govern in an autonomous community are the city council (ayuntamiento) and the autonomous government (gobierno autonómico)

b) The mayor or the mayoress (alcaldesa) and the councils (concejales).
They are in charge of organizing and managing important cities for their function ability. For example. The city cleaning service, monuments and buildings, security services as the police and firefighters, etc.

c) The autonomous president (presidente/a autonómico and the counselors (consejeros) They regulate the before mentioned services and manage the budget (presupuesto or money) that covers the autonomous community expenses (gastos)

d) It’s a law that concerns the territory of each autonomous community. So each Spanish autonomous community has its own statute of autonomy that regulates life there and tells the cultural symbols of that area: the flag, the anthem, important festivities, language spoken there as a second language (gallego, catalán, Vasco) etc.

2) It’s time to finish reading the last part of the summary titled Unit 6 Spain’s organization. 

What I want you to do to in this unit? 
I give you two options so you can use the one that fits better to you:
- A diagram of this unit.
- A summary.
Choose the one you like most and send me your choice next Wednesday 13th May 2020 to my email.
If you have any question, if there’s something you don’t understand you can write also to my email.

Good morning kids,
Yesterday was the Mother’s Day. I hope you had a loving day. Especially towards your mom.


NOTA PARA PADRES Y ALUMNOS
Mañana martes día 5 de mayo vuestros hijos podrán tener una práctica de speaking con el asistente Brandon por medio de la aplicación ZOOM.

La práctica será en parejas y durará unos 15 minutos cada una. 

Más abajo pongo la lista de alumnos que comenzarán ése día. 

Importante: Si por algún motivo no algún niño no puede participar en la actividad por problemas de acceso al ordenador u otro motivo, no pasa nada. ¡Cero estrés! 
Se puede hacer otro día o simplemente no hacerla. No pasa nada. Somos conscientes de la situación y sólo queremos que aprovechen tener al asistente de cara a ejercitar su habilidad comunicativa durante el confinamiento. Comprendemos que hay diversas situaciones que no siempre son fáciles de sortear. 
Me avisáis vía email y reorganizo parejas o lo que sea necesario.

LISTA MARTES 5 DE MAYO

1) Review page 124, unit 6 Modals of probability/deduction.

2)  Read the following chart about these modal verbs and complete the activity below on your notebook. 

Example: 0 Type 3 “She could be an engineer because she knows about robotics”


Answers tomorrow! 


3) AB page 69 activities 1 and 2.

4) If you have Brandon’s speaking interview tomorrow, go to the post published in Wednesday  29th April in this blog and watch again Brandon’s three videos“Speaking part 1 Ket”

When you finish imagine you are with Brandon and pretend you are answering his questions for part 1. This will warm you up to be ready for the practice tomorrow.
Imagine he asks you to spell your surname, your favorite school subject and why, who do you live with... I mean, the type of questions you watch in the videos.

If you don’t have the interview yet, continue with Social.

SOCIAL SCIENCE

We start a new unit: Unit 6 Spain’s organization. 

As I find the book quite difficult “to digest”, I prepared a summary that you can use if you want. If not, you can follow the book. Today I publish the first part of my summary and I also wrote very easy questions to answers.
I will publish a part during the week with questions and at the end of the unit I will ask you a diagram or a summary of the unit. This means that you won’t do an exam but rather than task I have just mentioned. At the end of the week you will know when you have to send it.

1) Read part 1 of unit 6 summary titled: 1) The country.







2) Answer:
a) What type of government do we have in our country?
b) How many powers rule Spain and what are their names?
c) How is our country territorially organized?
