I have a full good mark for: Emma, Óscar, Tamara, Ana, Paula, Kristel, Valentina, Alicia, Javi, Sergi T, Álvaro and Sergi L.
I have just half of Lorena's answers, what she could do in class.
And I know I erased Angie and Marina's first 2 answers, that I told them they didn't need to do them again, but what about the other 13?
As for number 15, you had to class the articles on the blog. For example, extra activities, videos, treasure hunts, students' contributions, notices, etc. So thhat you had a look at previous posts!
Well done, guys!
See you on Tuesday!
