Week 32: May 14th- Emboldened animals and more

- I like this image on the left  ;-) it appeared when I wrote "emboldened animals" in my search engine.
- I reminded you about the video we sent you and the survey we would love you to complete.
- We started talking a little bit about these events in which some animals have been seen away from their usual surroundings and into human domain.
- We then analized structures to react to news. We also practised how to pronounce consonant clusters in isolation and inside sentences.
- We also saw how Sheldon Cooper reacts to news and did a listening comprehension about the video clip.

Homework:
- We didn't have time for the listening news report on bicycles but we may next day and I found this file on the same topic, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Have a look at it, crammed with interesting vocabulary as always. And with the key.
- Besides, if you want to record a short presentation, it could be about the future now: what have we learnt because of the confinement and pandemic? how should we change after this? what future would we like to work for? Or also, as Mar told us today, how should we live our present to make the future we want? I'm looking forward to your ideas!

This photo also appeared when I wrote "emboldened animals", and it's like just the opposite! I love it.

- We had one class with no freezing problems. I couldn't be happier!
- We talked about the organisation of distance learning and our own experience.
- We also talked about positive outcomes of the coronavirus crisis.
- We met Captain Tom, a charity hero in the UK these days that just turned 100 years old a few days ago. We saw this video, examined some expressions of this handout and listened to his nº1 hit in the charts. You have some more information about him here.
- Video poem: we saw a poem written by Darren James Smith that deals with racism and fear in the coronavirus crisis: You clap for me now.
- We revised coronavirus pronunciation with Pronunciation studio, a great site.

Homework:
- There's the possibility to send me a recording of what you've read about positive outcomes of the coronavirus crisis. Organised and trying to use new words so that you can expand your vocabulary.
- You can also work your reading skills and vocabulary building with a news report on Emboldened animals in the coronavirus time. Have a look at the key to the exercises.
