Your answers may fall into all three columns, but one column will likely contain the most answers. The dominant column indicates your primary learning style. Knowing what kind of learner you are can help you to develop a learning strategy.

WELCOME TO THIS NEW SCHOOL YEAR

 Hi my dear students, I am Mrs. Marsella Robles and I am glad to be your English teacher.  Welcome to the National Preparatory School No. 1 Gabino Barreda.  I have created this site especially for you, Here, we can communicate and share experiences and you can post your works. I am happy to be your English teacher this year and I hope we can accomplish our goals and learn a lot and also have fun.


In the following site you can visualize the program of the course.  They have adapted it but, anyway, you can have the complete panorama of the course. The site is:
http://www.dgenp.unam.mx/planesdeestudio/96/cuarto/1407.pdf

Also, take note of the following rules.

REGLAMENTO INTERNO DE LA CLASE DE INGLÉS V

1. Es indispensable acudir puntualmente a las clases. Se dará una tolerancia de 5 minutos para empezar la clase, tendrán retardo los que lleguen después. Pasados 10 minutos no podrán ingresar al salón de clase. Tres retardos equivalen a una falta. Con un porcentaje de menos del 85% de asistencia los alumnos no tendrán derecho a presentar examen final.
2. La armonía, tolerancia y un ambiente de respeto y disciplina son indispensables para el buen desarrollo del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, por lo cual es obligación del alumno comportarse con educación dentro del salón de clases, debido a que el comportamiento en clase formará parte de la calificación del alumno.
3. Durante el ciclo escolar habrá tres periodos de exámenes. En cada periodo, la calificación estará formada por el promedio de los exámenes que se hagan de writing, listening, oral production y reading comprehension. Este promedio será un 60% de la calificación.  Un 10% estará dado por las tareas presentadas a lo largo del parcial, otro 10% por trabajos realizados, otro 10% por comportamiento en el salón de clases, asistencia y 20 horas de la Mediateca con el reporte trimestral y el 10% restante por participaciones, totalizando el 100%.
4. Del promedio de los tres parciales, si da más de 8, estará exento de presentar el examen final (siempre y cuando haya tenido más del 85% de asistencia en el ciclo escolar). Si no alcanza el 8, tendrá que realizar el examen de primera vuelta y en su caso, de segunda vuelta.

Mtra. Marsella Robles Mier y Terán

SO, FOR NEXT CLASS YOU WILL HAVE TO print the rules and take them to the class.

In this place you are going to post your introduction to the class, it is very important that you write first your last name, and then your first name and don´t forget to check what you write.  I don´t think it is necessary for you to tell you that we don´t allow bad words or bad behaviour because everyone deserves respect in this class.  So, you are going to write your name, age, about your family and last school you were in, likes and dislikes and what do you think about this language, do you like it or not, do you think it is easy for you to learn and how do you learn and how do you like to learn.

Well, that´s for now, welcome again and do your best to learn English and to have fun.
