BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

QUARANTINE: DAY 0


Here the main recommendations for my students regarding these two weeks at home:






RECOMENDACIONES PARA LA CUARENTENA


Como, en principio, vamos a estar 2 semanas sin clase, voy a dar una serie de directrices para los alumnos para que atenuemos en la medida de lo posible el impacto negativo de estar sin clase. Algunas de ellas se refieren al tercer trimestre. La idea es adelantarlas para después tener más tiempo.


Es importante visitar mi site https://sites.google.com/site/albertomeditutor/1o-eso y mi blog http://albertomeditutor.blogspot.com/  porque voy a intentar poner al menos los días que teníamos clases con el grupo en concreto alguna novedad que vaya surgiendo.


 

Voy a intentar mandar individualmente lo que le falta a cada alumno, aunque toda esa información está en PASEN.


 

Nivel: 1º ESO


¿Qué es lo que debemos hacer en estas 2 semanas?

>> Unidad 5 del libro de texto (siempre que el alumno tenga alguna duda o quiere comprobar si tiene un ejercicio bien, no tiene más que contactar conmigo por correo electrónico)

>> Debe terminar de leerse y escuchar la lectura Around the World in 80 Days y hacer todas las actividades recomendadas (comic, traducción, leer en voz alta, actividades, hacer la ficha de control) porque haríamos el examen justo después de la cuarenta y antes de la Semana Santa.

>> Debe entregar todos los WRITING EXERCISES que no haya hecho (me manda foto o escaneado del documento al correo). Deben hacerse a mano. Yo le devolveré correo con las correcciones.

>> Completar los comentarios en mi blog. Recuerdo que eran 5 para el primer trimestre, 10 para el segundo y 5 de calidad para el tercer trimestre.

Insisto para información más detallada está mi site, mi blog y mi correo electrónico. Por ejemplo, ahí pondré capítulos del That’s English a visionar.

If you want to write a comment on this post, you can give your hint (piece of advice) about what to do during this quarantine time.

 

And remember today we are celebrating the second anniversary of Stephen Hawking's death and 𝛑 Day (3.14). Here's a good post to have a look at it!

  1. The government has announced the "alarm state" in Spain and because of that we are in quarantine. School has been cancelled for 2 weeks(but we still have homework) so it should remark how important it is.
    During this quarantine we should stay at home. It is the most basic but most important advice I could give. If we have the symptoms we should´t go to the doctor because all hospitals and sanitaries are collapsed and busy, and they must be used for more severe cases and people who have other important issues like a heart attack, a car accident etc. Also for most of the population this virus will pass just like a flue so the solution for all of them is to stay in bed, treat it like another one, don't panic and do not spread it.

  2. We have to be quarantined for two weeks for the coronavirus. For the students it is happy to be without secondary school but, it is also bad because they forget things.

  3. The government announced on Thursday that since Monday the institutes and colleges have to remain closed for two weeks, because of covid 2019 (coronavirus). Teachers are sending our homework through platforms and gmail, so we all have homework to do. We all have to stay in our homes during quarantine, because if you go out, you can get a ticket. If you find any symptoms do not go to the hospital, as all the hospitals are occupied by more serious cases.

  4. The goverment has announced that we need to stay at home for two weeks, (actually, the goverment adds two weeks more), and is relaxing for us, but some difficult exams that we had (actualy not) we can forget essential things to have good marks.

    I'm a person that usualy go out with friends or go to parties so stay at home for a month is not as good as if we went out, but with conditions.

    At the moment, I have already finished all the homework that teachers send to me, but now, that I have so much time I'm getting bored so easily with all.
    I hope that we go out soon.

  5. The government has announced that the quarantine will last until half month of April. We should be conscious that quarantine, is't a holiday, it's a period of time when you can't go out of your home because it's dangerous for you and other people and you must stay at home doing homework as a normal day of class.

    Recently, the term hasn't finished yet, so we must keep doing all the homework that the teachers told us to do until the term finishes. I don't like to stay too much at home, but's fine because I can do a lot of things. I can play with my sister to a lot of things. She loves board games, so I spend a lot of time playing with her. I can also watch any serie on TV. I can play video games, but not for too long, because I know that they're not healthy for me. I can also do some sport on my backyard, because it's really big.

    Right now, I'm all day doing homework and doing sport, so I can be fit and don't get too much weight. I also chat with my friends and they tell me what they're doing and how are they spending their time.

    I don't think this quarantine is as bored as much people say, but I think that's much better going out and meet your friends or do some sport.

  7. A few days ago, the alarm state was announced by our government. That means that everybody has to stay at home and they can only go out if they have dog or if they have to go shopping. This announcement means that this virus is more serious than we thought before, so we need to stop it from expanding. Some people have followed the government indications, but others are doing what they want. If we want to stop this pandemic, we can´t meet others, so the only way we can do this is staying at home.
    A problem the government has noticed is that we have very few medical resources and hospitals need them, so they can´t work well. These hospitals are getting too busy because there are a lot of patients with covid-19, so that´s another reason why we can´t go out, because we don´t want to make hospitals collapse.
    There are a lot of people that are helping us to be as well as we can, like policemen, shop assistans, doctors...
    As you see, this is a hard situation that we have to live, so please, don´t make it harder, and follow the indications that the government gives us, so we can end this hell as soon as we can.

  8. The government has long announced the state of alarm and the beginning of the quarantine in Spain. Institutes, universities and colleges have closed as a precaution to this new virus called COVID-19, which was spread in China in December 2019. We are still waiting for instructions.

    The most important thing in this quarantine is not to go outside, since if we have it we can transmit it to other people or catch it. The government announced that you can only go out to the pharmacy, supermarkets, and work (farmers only) as long as they wear masks and gloves. But still; there are still people who do not meet these conditions.

    Despite the fact that due to the quarantine we do not go to the institute, schools, universities, etc., the teachers send jobs, assignments, make a videoconference ..., in order to continue with the subject. so it is not a vacation. In this period we have to be responsible since we do not know when we could return.

    Me personally regarding quarantine, I think that we should all follow the appropriate indications since it seems that some of us are not aware of the danger we are in. This is a virus that in most cases kills. As for the educational tasks, I think it is the right thing as long as the teachers do not exaggerate by sending too many homework.

  9. This day was the beginning of a great nightmare. The alarm state was announced by the central government in Madrid. One day before Andalucia’s government has announced the close of the educational community, both schools and universities.

    13th, March, 2020 is going to be an episode in the history of Spain and we are going to be the main characters. This, like any story,has heroes and villains, although it depends on who speaks, and who is who in this story. The story’s setting is Spain, a country whose future is uncertain.

    The main problem was that we had few medical resources. Another big problem was the fact that people didn’t follow the rules. They were on the streets and this caused that hospitals were collapsed.

    From my point of view, the critical situation was politized and this is wrong. We should remain together as a great nation in order to solve this inconvenient in our daily life. It is not about ideas; this is about people, especially about lives.

  10. Last Thursday the government decreed the state of alarm, because of an epidemic that has ended millions of people. During this quarantine we have had to stay in our homes out of respect and health for ourselves, that is why they closed schools, institutes and a lot of work. During the quarantine, our teachers have sent us tasks through gmail and other platforms to continue giving us the knowledge we need.

  11. The government announced the state of alarm on March 14, it was Friday, I will not forget that day when our lives were going to change.

    Here in Spain we did not know what we were going to face until the virus reached our country, that is when our lives were going to change completely, you could not leave home, you could only go buy a person ... When you see the news and you see thousands of infected people and people start to die, there you realize that this was not a game, it is a pandemic.

    The first days it was strange for me not to be able to leave home to go to school or later in the afternoon to go out with friends, when a week passed it was getting heavier and the hours were very slow, the teachers began to send many duties and we were a little overwhelmed the truth, was getting used to the new life.

    Now that we have got used to this new life, all that remains is to live with the virus and move forward.

  31. HITLER ¿QUIÉN FUE?
    Biography

    Son of an Austrian customs officer, his childhood was spent in Linz and his youth in Vienna. Adolf Hitler's training was scarce and self-taught, as he barely received any education. In Vienna (1907-13) he failed in his vocation as a painter, he lived poorly as a vagabond and saw his racist prejudices grow before the spectacle of a cosmopolitan city, whose intellectual and multicultural vitality was completely incomprehensible to him. His conversion to Germanic nationalism and anti-Semitism dates from that time.

    In 1913 Adolf Hitler fled the Austro-Hungarian Empire to avoid military service; He took refuge in Munich and enlisted in the German army during the First World War (1914-18). The defeat led him to enter politics, championing an ideology of nationalist reaction, marked by rejection of the new democratic regime of the Weimar Republic, whose politicians he accused of having betrayed Germany by accepting the humiliating peace conditions of the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919).

    Back in Munich, Hitler joined a small far-right party, of which he would soon become the main leader, renaming it the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). This party declared itself nationalist, anti-Semitic, anti-communist, anti-liberal, anti-democratic, anti-pacifist and anti-capitalist, although this last revolutionary component of a social nature would soon be forgotten; Such a motley ideological conglomerate, fundamentally negative, was fed by the fears of the German middle classes regarding the uncertainties of the modern world. Influenced by Mussolini's fascism, this movement, adverse both to what existed and to any trend of progress, represented the reactionary response to the crisis of the liberal State that the war had accelerated.

  33. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE RUBIK'S CUBE:
    The Rubik's Cube is a three-dimensional mechanical puzzle created by Hungarian sculptor and architecture professor Ernő Rubik in 1974.2​3​4​5​ Originally called a "magic cube",6​ the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Company in 1980,7​ year in which it won the German Game of the Year award in the best puzzle category.8​ Until 2020, 450 million cubes were sold worldwide,1​9​ making it, not only the best-selling puzzle,10​11​ but is generally considered the best-selling toy in the world.12​

    A classic Rubik's cube has six uniform colors (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green and yellow).13​ An axle mechanism allows each face to rotate independently, thus mixing the colors. To solve the puzzle, each face must be returned to a single color.

    It was initially called "Magic Cube". This three-dimensional puzzle has a fascinating structure: in its classic version, it consists of 26 moving pieces and can present up to 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different combinations. Despite that astonishing number of possibilities, there is only one correct configuration that shows all the colors aligned on each of its six faces. Solving it involves moving the pieces precisely through a specific sequence of moves to reach that ordered state.

    The cube celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2005, so a special edition of it went on sale in which the white face was replaced by a reflective one that read "Rubik's Cube 1980-2005." On its 30th anniversary, in 2010, another special edition made of wood was marketed.

    There are variations with various numbers of levels. The main versions that exist are the following: the 3×3×3, the original Rubik's cube,14 the 4×4×4 (Rubik's Revenge), the 5×5×5 (The Professor's Cube); and since September 2008 the 6×6×6 and 7×7×7 from Panagiotis Verdes.15 The Shengshou company has launched 8x8x8, 9x9x9 and 10x10x10 cubes on the market since the beginning of 2012. Since then, both new products and new brands have been released.
