Nuestra labor desde casa continúa, como bien saben, pero el profesorado no sólo no abandona su trabajo didáctico sino que trabaja iniciativas para respaldar el ánimo de nuestro alumnado. Un abrazo a todos, alumnado y familias. #quédateencasa
This situation is weird, our feelings strange... sometimes we are concerned about our daily problems and our future and sometimes this is not easier for teenagers; our work as teachers becomes a task more complex than just explaining contents of our subjects, as a measure to help with this state of unease all the teachers are using different devices to make our students feel closer and better. Most teachers use tool such as classroom, webcam meetings, audio diaries (like we said Matty is doing from London), video recordings for this puspose... For instance, this is a try of youtube-recipe-style review video about the main structures seen in ESO1.
Maybe one of the most remarkable measures taken by the teachers board of our school is the shooting of a lipdubbed video for the tune "Resistiré", one of the resistance anthems for such a season; a kind video where we teachers encourage our guys by singing, dancing and showing what we do to feel better these lockdown days. #stayhome
To finish this post I show you one of my favourite anthems for days like these (it is the soundtrack of my grammar video). Would you check the lyrics? #stayhomestaystrong
Uno de los puntos base de nuestro plan bilingüe es que el alumnado disfrute de la presencia y experiencia de un nativo de habla inglesa en algunas de sus clases. Este año, como ya os presentamos, tenemos la suerte de tener a Matty, una comprometida chica británica cuyo trabajo se hace notar en nuestro día a día, la interrupción de la asistencia al centro no ha paralizado su actividad, que sigue por medio de la tecnología ofreciendo su servicio a los alumnos y alumnas vía audios con sus experiencias en su país en estas circunstancias tan especiales.
After the lockdown order, Matty, our language assistant, decided to move back to her hometown with her family and, as we all supposed, she keeps being committed with such a situation. From home, she sends us voice mails with her experience since she is working with charity, living the coronavirus crisis in a different place and so she explains how her country is facing this problem we all are fighting. These voice mails are played by the teachers of the English board as listening comprehension exercises then adding some activities where our students think about this strange situation and other issues dealt with in the messages received. Thank you, Matty, take care!!
