Please let me know if you have any questions! I am here to help. You can contact me by email or whatsapp.

Hi all!

I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to you all from the United States -- I am in quarantine for 14 days so I do not infect my family, so I am very bored 🤪

This week we are celebrating English Week at Liceo Científico. Normally May is English Month, but due to the situation we changed it to one week. To celebrate, we are participating in a social media challenge. You will use the hashtag #MyQuarantineLifeLC to explain in English how you have been spending your time during quarantine. Your homework for this week is to participate in this challenge. 

Aquí les dejo las indicaciones en español. Ya que no l@s tengo en las redes sociales, me pueden enviar una captura de pantalla/una foto para enseñarme que han hecho el reto. También adjunto a este correo una foto que pueden subir a los estados para animar a los demás a participar en el reto.

Normalmente en mayo celebramos el mes de inglés, ¡pero debido a la situación vamos a convertirlo en sólo una semana! Entre hoy y el lunes que viene, el Departamento de Inglés pide que reflexionen un poco sobre la vida en cuarentena y que practiquen un poco su inglés. Aquí tienen los pasos para participar:
​
1. En Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc., va a publicar algo que represente cómo han pasado el tiempo durante esta cuarentena. Pueden utilizar fotos, videos, canciones... lo importante es que esté TODO en inglés!

2. Junto a la publicación, escriba algo explicando lo que ha publicado, etiquete la página del Liceo Científico, e incluya el hashtag #MyQuarantineLifeLC

3. Etiquete a 3 amigos para participar en el reto 

Esperamos sus publicaciones! Happy English Week!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Good morning, and happy Monday!

I hope everybody is doing well and trying their best to stay happy and healthy. Before I give you your assignment for this week, I want to remind you that communication is the most important thing in our class. If you have any problems with the activity or any doubts about vocabulary/grammar, please contact me! I know we are not physically present in class, but I am still here to support you and help you learn. I answer questions through email, whatsapp, and even video calls if necessary.

Hi all!

I hope you have had a good week.

Primero, me gustaría comentar algo sobre el diario de la semana pasada. Estamos viviendo momentos muy difíciles, pero sinceramente creo que también podemos aprovechar para que también sean momentos de gran reflexión. En la vida normal, suele ser que no tenemos tiempo para para, respirar, y preguntar, "cómo me siento hoy"? No sabemos qué hacer con nuestro tiempo libre, porque no estamos acostumbrados a tenerlo. Quiero que utilicen estas semanas para descubrir quien eres, que te gusta, y que es lo que te hace feliz. Escribir es una de las mejores maneras de reflexionar, y he visto los frutos de esa reflexión en muchos de sus diarios. Por eso, la semana que viene, vamos a seguir con esa actividad. Recuerden que no tiene que ser largo el diario -- sólo un breve resumen de sus días y sus sentimientos. Me encantó leerlos porque así también me siento más conectada con ustedes; para nosotr@s como profesores también es difícil no estar en el liceo, y l@s extrañamos mucho!*

This week, you will complete the following activities:

1. Continue with your daily diary. Remember that you should have one entry per day (Monday-Friday) and that Saturday and Sunday are optional. I hope this can be an activity that you enjoy! If you have not turned in your diary from last week, please send it to me as soon as possible.

2. This week we are going to do something a little different, and hopefully fun! You are going to create Quarantorial (Quarantine tutorials) describing how to do normal, daily quarantine activities. Here you can watch my example video about how to watch Netflix in quarantine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLkbfnCE4Oc&feature=youtu.be. These videos should be fun, and should be silly! You can describe how to do anything: how to take classes online, how to get ready (arreglarse) in quarantine, how to make lunch, how to play a game, etc. Be creative and have fun! Here are the instructions:

1. Choose a normal activity, and make a video of your quarantorial! (Quarantine tutorial!)
2. Each video must have at least 5 steps (pasos).
3. The video must have audio!
4. Send your video to teacher Alyana by Monday, April 27th.

If you have any problems, please let me know and we will find an alternative task.

Have a GREAT week! :)

Prof. Alyana Guidotti
Hi all!

I hope you enjoyed Semana Santa and were able to relax a little. 

The current situation is very complicated, and I think it's very important to recognize and understand your feelings. This week, your homework is to create a quarantine diary. Each day (Monday-Friday) I want you to write a short paragraph about your quarantine.
I will give extra credit if you also complete the diary for Saturday and Sunday. 

In your paragraphs you can talk about anything you want, but here are some ideas of questions you can answer:

1. What did you do today?
2. How are you feeling today? Why?
3. How is your family?
4. What are you worried about?
5. What do you hope for the future?

It's not necessary to write very long paragraphs! You will send me your quarantine diary for Monday, April 20th. I hope you enjoy this activity! Writing is one of the best ways to express and understand what we are feeling. 

Please contact me if you have any questions! Have a great week 

Best,

Good morning all!


I hope you're staying safe and healthy, and most importantly STAYING HOME!

I'm attaching the materials this week to this email. Please complete the following:

1. Read the article "How Do You Get to School?" and watch the video: 
https://sn4.scholastic.com/issues/2019-20/090219/how-do-you-get-to-school.html 

2. Search for the definitions of the vocabulary words (located in PDF document)

3. Respond to the three questions in the PDF document

On Monday, March 30th you will have a short online quiz about the article and vocabulary. 

If you are still not in the Whatsapp group, please send me your number so I can add you. I will send a question in the group that you will have to answer with a voice message, so be alert 

Please contact me if you have any questions. 

Have a great day!
