IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Good morning! Este blog es para contarles que el  Viernes pasado se reunió el Departamento de Inglés para  establecer unas pautas comunes para organizar el trabajo de todos los cursos hasta que se levante la cuarentena. Se llegó un acuerdo con respecto a lo siguiente:

1- Las tareas o clases se subirán a la correspondiente plataforma (edmodo, classroom, blog, etc) Martes de por medio y se esperarán esos 14 días como plazo para la entrega de las tareas por parte de los estudiantes al mail de cada docente. Una vez pasado ese plazo, YA NO SE RECIBIRÁN.

2- En concordancia con el punto anterior, sólo se subirán clases a este blog, los días MARTES 16 y 30 de Junio ya que después entramos en el receso de invierno. Retornando a las clases en el blog el día 28 de Julio si es que continuamos en cuarentena. De todos modos ustedes deben revisar el blog para mayor información.

3- Se solicitará la ayuda de los preceptores de cada curso para tener un contacto más fluído entre DOCENTE y ALUMNOS. En caso de que los alumnos no puedan acceder a Internet, los docentes enviarán las tareas a los preceptores por una vía a definir luego, y ellos se las enviarán.

4- Los alumnos de la profesora VIRGINIA D'ANNUNZIO, YA NO DEBEN SEGUIR LAS ACTIVIDADES DE ESTE BLOG, ya que ella creará su propio sitio o plataforma virtual la cual les será comunicada a través de los preceptores.

5- Por el tiempo que dure la cuarentena, no se avanzará con la totalidad del programa presentado a principio de año, sino que se estableció trabajar con un sólo tema desde distintos ángulos y metodologías. En el caso de nuestro curso (SEGUNDO AÑO DEL CICLO SUPERIOR), sólo haremos hincapié en los tiempos PASADO SIMPLE (repaso de años anteriores) y PASADO CONTINUO.

6- Se abordarán los temas antes mencionados desde distintos libros, y no solamente desde el LIGHT UP 4 que se pidiera a principios de año. Por lo que se sugiere a quiénes puedan imprimir las actividades del blog, hacerlo o de lo contrario copiarlas en la carpeta, asegurándose de tener el material correspondiente a cada clase identificado como LESSON... y seguido de la fecha en la que se subió la clase, para su control cuando volvamos a las aulas. 

Esperando contar con su comprensión y responsabilidad en la presentación de los trabajos, los despido, para reunirnos nuevamente el próximo martes en una nueva clase.
