TASK 1B FOR WEDNESDAY 1st. AND THURSDAY 2nd APRIL

Good morning my dear 1B juniors!

Since this is a busy week for all of us. This is the last assignment for the week and the first of the 3rd Term.
Here is some little comprehension activity about a SCIENCE REPORT on "LATE NIGHTS AND LAZINESS". CLICK ON THIS LINK to get the printable material.

Follow instructions and do all exercises. The answer key to the multiple choice is on the last page.

What do you have to do on the blog? Well , write a comment on the vocabulary you have learnt. To do that you'll have to explain the word , give a synonym or use it in a sentence.

You could quietly do it along the week. Deadline Friday 3rd.

    Arantxa, I have a question for you: If I do all the homework that you gave us, I must send it to you or when we'll back to the quarantine we will correct it? I hope this won't bother you ;)
    See you and take care!!!

    1. Hi Alejandro,

      Some exercises consist of just posting a comment. In the case of this self-correcting worksheet, you need to do both, post a comment and keep the worksheet and show me afterwards ( once the quarantine is over). The way of regularly controlling your work is seeing your posts on the blog answering the questions.
      I hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask any time!
