1. Warm up
We chose a famous person (anyone we wanted) and gave some details of
that person to the rest of the class without mentioning the name. For
example I said:
- I’m a famous Mexican actor
- Dora The Explorer is my friend
- My name is similar to one of our classmates
- Sometimes I’m half a donkey
so with those details the rest of the class had to guess who was I talking
about and in my example was about Eugenio Derbez.

2. Narrative Essay “The Discovery of America”

We presented to the class our narrative essay about “The Discovery of
America” whether or not Christopher Columbus discovered the continent.

3. Class activities
We finished page 18 of the Reading Book by groups and we also did the
Reading Comprehension of “Discovery in the Americas?” reading with the
whole class.

1. Dairy-entry
We read to the rest of the class the dairy-entry we wrote with our partners
the last day, Thursday 12th.

2. Punctuation Marks
We worked on pages 9, 10 and 11 of the Writing Book and our topic was
“Punctuation Marks”. (You can either read them from the book or read it
here, I’ll also attach you my summary of the topic.)

2.1. The book

 2.2. My summary

Punctuations Marks are symbols that writers use to divide

written words into sentences and clauses. Using punctuations
helps the readers to clearly understand the message by indicating
the pauses, stops, or a change of tone voice. There are 11 primary
punctuation marks and we use:
1. A period to stop at the end of a sentence.
2. A question mark at the end of a direct question.
3. An exclamation mark to show excitement or shock.
4. Parentheses to indicate references, to add extra information, a date, or an
after-thought.
5. A comma to show a pause in a sentence, to divide an introductory word
or phrase from the rest of the sentence, in direct speech, for listing items,
and around relative clauses with a coordinating conjunction.
6. An apostrophe with an “s” to show ownership and with contractions.
7. Quotation marks for reported speech as well.
8. Colon to introduce a list or a quotation.
9. Semicolon to join together closely clauses or sentences.
10. A dash before a summarizing phrase, and before and after extra
information in the middle of a sentence.
11. A hyphen to create compound words or numbers.
 3. Class Activity
We did individually the exercise 1.2 on page 12.

4. Homework
Our homework was a summary of the topic.
Monday 16th August 2021
1. Warm up
We discussed about the meaning of a Natural disaster.
-Natural Disaster: A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from
natural processes of the Earth.

2. Reading
We read “What is a Hurricane?”, “How Hurricanes Form?”, “Where
Hurricanes Form?”, and “How Hurricanes Are Classified?” about Hurricanes
reading.

3. Class Activity
We had to summarize the paragraphs we read and we had to include real
life examples of each category of Hurricanes and a comparison between a
Hurricane, a Cyclone and a Typhoon as well. My group was Keyla and you so
I’ll attached what we did (we didn’t finished it):

3.1. Our summary

Hurricanes are gigantic, circular storms with extremely powerful winds, torrential
rain, and high seas. Their center is called eye and winds become more intense from
the outer edges of the storm to the eyewall. Hurricanes form over tropical oceans
worldwide and they usually form in the summer time. The energy from the Sun
heats the ocean water and the warmer air pushes up through the cooler air, which
then sinks down to replace the warm air. If a tropical storm gains more energy,
wind speed increases and thick spiraling clouds spread out from the center of the
storm. Hurricanes hit Central America, the Caribbean islands, and the East Coast of
the United States almost every year.
Hurricanes are classified according to their intensity using the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Scale from category 1 to category 5. In category one hurricanes have
winds from 119 to 153 km/h. The Hurricane Danny, for example, formed between
Cuba and the Gulf of Mexico reaching 129 km/h wind speed. Category two
hurricanes have winds of 154-177 km/h. For instance, Erin, in 1995, hit Atlantic
coast and Africa with and intensity of 160 km/h. Hurricanes with 178-209 km/h are
category three just as Katrina in 2005 over the Southeastern Bahamas and the Gulf
of Mexico. In category four, the storms reach 211-249 km/h. For instance, The
Great Galveston Hurricane in 1900 with 233 km/h. Finally, a category-five one have
winds greater than 249 km/h and cause extreme damage. Hurricane Andrew, 1992,
was a category 5 causing $26.5 billion in damage.
 4. Homework:
As homework we had to write a 150 essay about the natural disaster Nandi
assigned to each of us.
