Dr J (QUARANTINE: DAY 40)

Here's the history of a legend in basketball that goes far beyond the sport itself. He lived really tough times, as we do now (already 40 days confined!!!), and was able to overcome any obstacle in life successfully.

 

Julius 'Dr J' Erving was a key figure in the development of modern basketball, as we can see it today. Michael Jordan, Lebron James... and many others have always tried to take after him!! 

 

He played for various teams, but it was in the Philadelphia 76ers  where he won the NBA world championships. Why is this team called this way? Read about it here and tell me.

  Revising Unit 6  >>>>   Do you remember the Science Week? We had something in mind to do, so here it is:

  Wr15: Writing exercise: Describing an experience/experiment at our Science Week. You can do this by making a video, a digital presentation or an inphograph, or just writing a composition. It must include the description of an experiment, examples of passive voice and relative clauses.

   

  You've got some examples in my site and in this post:
