4ESO: CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN TASKS (until 19th April 2020)

Dear 4th ESO students,
Here is my proposal for these days. Organize your time and do your best! These are the tasks to revise Unit 4, continue with Unit 5 and start Unit 6.  As we still don't know how long we'll be out of school, if it takes longer, pay attention to your mail/blog. Spread the word among your classmates.

Just in case, I'll ask you to upload your work both on Google Classroom and your shared Drive folder we were using so far (which for most of you is using your own personal gmail account).


 Thanks. 

 PS. CHALLENGE: play and learn with this free app on your hone or laptop to keep up with your level of English! You can comment on your progress ;) https://es.duolingo.com/
