Hello again!!!

It was so nice to see you all!!!

As part of today's class, I will ask you to write on your folders (language notes) the following information (include everything up to the double line):

Topic 6: What challenges do humans face?

We discuss the different challenges that affect the world today, for example:

• Access to education
• Air pollution
• Wars
• Refugees
• Access to clean water
• Intolerance of diversity
• CORONAVIRUS!!!
• Etc...

Useful vocabulary:

Scarcity: a situation in which something is not easy to find or get.

Convention on the Rights of the Child

It is a treaty signed by most countries in the world on September 20, 1989. It establishes the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children.

In Argentina, this convention was ratified in 1990 and included in our National Constitution in 1994.

After you wrote all of the above, go to your Liveworksheet account and complete the new exercise. When you finish, come back to your folder and write some of the rights included in the Convention.

Please watch the Grammar video ( will/won’t) again and I will post the power point presentation tomorrow for you to copy it.

That's all for today!!!
See you tomorrow!!
