PROJECT

"ROLE OF ANIMALS ON THE LOCKDOWN"

PROJECT , 2nd ESO

The emotional role of our pets is unquestionable. Not only do they accompany and show us affection but through them we can express our emotions, especially these days on the lockdown, such as we express through our videos in the ORIGAMI PROJECT.

In addition, animals can play a decisive role in detecting cases of coronavirus thanks to their extraordinary sense of smell.

Our 2nd Grade students, after watching the previous video, have investigated about the important role of animals showing through their photos,  the sensitive emotion that connects them to their pets. They have opened  their lives in Gracián, A Frairía,Fontela, Tórdea, Castroverde, Furís, O Foxo, Riomol,Valinfulgueiro, Outeiro or Latadal to share with us an essential base in their emotions: their pets.

Thank you for your generosity in this project!!

It is a date that each year celebrates the longest kiss ever recorded.which lasted 46 hours,24 minutes and 9 seconds. A Thai couple broke the world record in an annual contest. Perhaps by International Stolen Kiss Day on July 6, masks will no longer be part of the photographs.

Zara's always one step ahead, not just in terms of fashion. Just a few weeks ago, Inditex announced its support for the Spanish Government by making available the logistics chain with China, in addition to donating thousands of masks.

ADVERTISING
Zara temporarily changes its logo to remind us of the importance of maintaining social distance in these times we live in all over the world. Through a GIF in her Instagram profile, Zara wanted to send this message, but also the message that we should not believe that we are alone, because we are closer than ever.

In it, you can see how the letters start to separate to leave a clear message: "But staying closer than ever".

A SHORT FILM : "WELCOME TO MY LIFE"

Short films are unforgettable, making the vocabulary easier to learn. Also, because most of them last no more than 15 minutes, you can listen to the conversations over and over again to better understand how English is spoken naturally.

Monsters are often seen as something not normal and not resembling humans. This short film turns this idea around.

It is the story of Douglas, a teenage monster who tries to fit in at school. He looks like a lot of American teenagers. He has parents who care very much about him. He plays football and even has a "rapper's name" "T-kash." They bully him because he's different from the others.

This short film is a simple way to learn basic school vocabulary.
