WELCOME GREETING 21-22

 

Welcome back to Bites of English blog ☺☺

This year we will continue to use our blog for English lessons!

This blog has been created especially for you. It is made of different sections: Home, Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking, English Phonetics, Watching English, English in lyrics, and More than Dictionaries.

In this section (Home) I will post a weekly planning with:

• some of your school homework, 
• extra activities to improve your English skills 
• and a schedule for our 2-hour Skype lesson.

Also, we are using a shared folder in Google Drive (if you have a Gmail account, it is easier to acces). In this folder I will upload theoretical and practical material about what you study at school. Here you can also find a Given lessons record in on-line and face-to-face modalities. 

Here it is the link to the shared folder: 

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B6SH7uOzMiaWeUJQbGRtbWoxV0k?resourcekey=0--aBKIm6DJYa5aYW3YR_ZOQ

We will try and start following this procedure, but any change will be made if needed.

Also, I will need some help from you:

• Every week, you will send me an email with a description of your school homework, always indicating deadlines.
• I need to know what content you are learning at school, so you will take pictures of your English coursebook and send them to me via WhatsApp. If you have your coursebook in a PDF file, you can just send this to me.

These are my contact details:

• Email adress: nora_fernandezparedes@hotmail.com
• WhatsApp number: +44 7517 902058
• Skype user name: Nora fpr

Any doubt you may have or suggestion you may want to make, please let me know. I will do my best to help you. Your ideas are as warmly welcomed as you are :)
