TUESDAY,29TH OCTOBER,2013

Hello everybody!

Today in the class of Social Sciences we have stayed on duty because Paqui hasn't come to the class because she has had personal problems.
At first, we have been waiting in the class of Social Sciences for a teacher.
After five minutes Carmen Teresa, the Language teacher, has come and we have been in the class.
Carmen Teresa has said that the room was very well decorated and she likes the decoration of the class: the ages of history, the maps...






Then, she has said that we have to continue with the homework of other subjects or Social Sciences.
After,she has asked who our language teachers are: the people of the class A have said that Cristina Mata , the people of the class B,Verónica and my class have said that Ángela.
Then, she has asked if we have started with the compound sentence.Some people have started and other people haven't.
After, I have started to do the schemes of renaissance art in the Hispanic Monarchy and the baroque art in the 17th century.

Hello,

These are my corrections:

- "profesor de guardia" is teacher on duty. On guard is not accurate for this context, because it's used in the fifgt context and would mean "en guardia", which means ready to fight. You can say we have been with the teacher on duty, Carmen Teresa

- Don't use "stayed". The right woord would be been
- do the homework

- the people...have

- some people have started and other people haven't

- we have continued to do the homework

As I have said in class, you should have written what contents of the work I gave you you learnt on that lesson. You could write about the contents about art: Renaissance and Baroque in the Hispanic Monarchy. Complete your post with a summary of this information and include some pictures about this content and also all the new words you learned from this part of the unit. See you tomorrow!

Hello Marina:
Good journal, given the fact that Paqui wasn’t there. I think you worked hard. Just a few comments:
- Carmen Teresa, the LANGUAGE TEACHER
- The room was very WELL decorated
- Then, she has said that we HAVE TO CONTINUE with the homework. I know Paqui told you to change this , but I think this is what you want to say.
- After, she HAS ASKED WHO OUR LANGUAGE TEACHERS ARE
And, as Paqui said, it would be great if you could include some pictures.
