Opinion essay instructions
The opinion essay is one of the most popular and useful types of texts that we can write on our daily basis. These texts express our views and thoughts about the world and can be found on the internet (forums, websites, blogs...), in the press (newspapers, magazines...) and so on, but they are a really common kind of composition you will need to face if you take your Selectividad exam in two years.
It normally consists of three paragraphs:
Paragraph 1 - Introduction of the topic + short presentation of your opinion
Paragraph 2 - Examples that justify and support your opinion
Paragraph 3 - Summary of the opinion + conclusion

Send your compositions before Monday, 23rd March. This time, they cannot be sent as an attached document, so copy or write the text straight on Aules. As usual, it should contain from 80 to 120 words. This time, there will be a 180-word limit.

Unit 6 Presentation: Kahoot Challenge
Dear students:
Next week we are going to start unit 6: Saving our planet.
In this unit, we are going to practice forming indirect sentences (Reported Speech), as well as learning vocabulary about the environment and recycling. To see how good you are already at these contents, I have organised a Kahoot challenge so that you can play from your homes but still compete with your classmates.
Go to the Kahoot website (link below) and introduce your class competition code:
0827895 4ESOA
0336230 4ESOB
0175913 4ESOC
Don't choose naughty/strange nicknames. Your nicknames must be your name and the first letter of your surnames (e.g. Lucía Martínez Córdoba = LucíaMC). You can play as many times as you want before Monday, 23rd March at 10 am. I will keep a record of who participated in the challenge and who didn't and only the students who followed these instructions will get a positive record.
Good luck everyone!
Lucia, tuve un problema de acceso con Itaca y no pude hacer las cosas. ¿Cuando abran Aules qué tenemos que mandarte?, porque me estoy liando con todo lo que tenemos que hacer.
ResponderEliminarBuenas tardes Lucía, tengo una duda sobre los listenings, como los guardamos o enviamos para que sepas que los hemos hecho?
ResponderEliminarBuenos días. Disculpad la tardanza para responder los mensajes, pero acabo de verlos.
ResponderEliminarLos listenings de la primera semana son simplemente para que practiquéis vosotros, no tenéis que enviarme nada. Aun así, en Aules tendréis unas preguntas muy sencillas y rápidas sobre los audios en un foro donde espero que participéis como parte de la actividad.
En cuanto a las tareas que tenéis que hacerme llegar por Aules, por ahora sería la redacción de un opinion essay (Week 1) y la grabación de voz respondiendo a las preguntas sobre el libro de lectura; he llamado a esta segunda actividad "Vocaroo" en Aules (Week 2).
Si tenéis cualquier duda más, escribidme por Aules (esperemos que a partir de mañana) o por Ítaca/Web Familia.
Un saludo y mucho ánimo. Podemos con esto y con todo ;)
