ENGLISH 20E

February 9, 2021 (Tuesday)

Hello and Welcome to English 20E Class!

My name is Ariel, and I am your English 20E teacher.

We meet everyday in class, Monday – Friday, from 8:55 – 10:55 at Room 001 (Basement).

Also, to deliver the class, we will be using a variety of platforms which include our Classroom Blog, Google Classroom, Google Meet, and email. We will set them up for you as we start the semester and make sure that you have the access and support to use these platforms.

For today’s agenda, we will organize and structure the class as we welcome and introduce everyone, go over the course outline, and work on your needs assessment.

As your teacher, my main task is to facilitate learning and make sure that we are recognizing your skills, tracking your progress, and addressing your needs. Thus, communication is very important. Feel free to email me using your school email if you have questions or other concerns.

I am so thrilled to meeting you all in class and seeing you progress and achieve your personal, academic, and employment goals.

Good luck and see you in class!

February 1-5, 2021 (Mon-Fri)

Hi Class!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

This week, February 1-5, is our Recovery Learning Assessment Week. During this period, you can revisit and reflect on your learning. Think about the lessons that you think you did well as well as those that you were challenged with. Plan on how you can improve and better your knowledge and skills in learning English. You can also work on your outstanding assignments/assessments; Course Reflection. This is a good opportunity for you to improve your marks, too.

If you need help or if you have questions, feel free to jump in our Google Meeting during our class hours. I will be happy to help you. You can also email me afernando@wsd1.org.

Have a great day!
