First Day of High School!


Hello Everybody!!!

First, welcome to the new year 2012/2013. Today in Social Science, Paqui, the teacher has started calling the roll, then she has been explaining the organization of the notebook, which will include:
   -We have to correct the exercises everyday.
   -We have to have a glossary on the notebook.
   -And we have to do the journal everyday.

After this she has been explaining the assessment criteria for this new school year. The assessment criteria are the following:
    -50% of the mark will correspond to the exam marks
    -50% of the mark will correspond to:
       
             the work in classroom and homework(25%)
             the notebook has to be clean, organised and complete(10%)
             studen's attitude in the classroom, participation, collaboration... etc..(15%)

Then Paqui has been explaining how we are going to organize to write the journal. She has tell that we will do the journal in alphabetical order.


The first part of the unit that we are going to start next day will be a sheet that Paqui has given as is a summary about the Modern Age and it´s an introductory unit before starting the Contemporary Age, because we didn´t finish these contents in 2º.

After this Paqui has been explaining the participation in class. If we do the homework, we check the exercises in class everyday we will have a positive, in contrary we will have a negative.

She also has been explaining the good experience of the blog in the last years, because it had a lot of views, almost 184,000, more or less.
After the teacher has give us a sheet with the fist part of the unit that we will have started next day. After this the bell has rung and we have finished with our fist day os Social Science class.

Hello Laura,

First of all, remember that the pictures have to have the text in English, not in Spanish. You should look for a different one and remember to include the source of the picture (website from which you have downloaded it).

These are my corrections:

- First, instead of "at first".
- Social Sciences in capital letters.
-... which will include
- After this
- The assessment criteria are the following
- ... how we are going to organize to write the journal
- ... alphabetical order
- the first part of the unit that we are going to start next day
- ... first day

About the content, the sheet I have given you is a summary about the Modern Age and it´s an introductory unit before starting the Contemporary Age, because we didn´t finish these contents in 2º. You could also add what your homework is for next day.

You could also add what I have told you about participation, behaviour (positives, negatives), because this is new, and about the blog experience last year.

Good work, but correct the things I´ve told you. See you on Wednesday.

The last thing: include a title for your post.

Hello again Laura,

Your journal is much better now. Only some final corrections:
- It would be better that you write "has explained" instead of "has been explaining", because this means the the action has lasted a lot of time and it wasn´t so long

- On the contrary

- In the last sentence has given and first... that we are going to start

Remember that "fist" is not the same as "first"

That´s all. Well done.
