3ESO: CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN TASKS (until 19th April 2020)

Dear 3rd of ESO students,
Here is my proposal for these days. Organize your time and do your best!

GOOGLE CLASSROOM: set your google classroom in your Drive of your educand.ad account as we, teachers, are asked to use this rescource to follow your academic evolution during this period.  I will send you an email inviting you or the PASSWORD to join the class. 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).

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/

Thanks. So, here we go with your tasks. 

Deadline for all these activities: 20th April.
