Hi, everyone. I'm Alejandra from Alejandra.TV. And in this video, I'm going to show you how

The zero and first conditional

to organize your locker if it's a big mess and you have to clean it out for end of school

Present continuous

or it has just gone to the point where things are falling out of your locker right when

you open the door or you just can't find things and your grades are suffering because you

just can't find anything and your locker is a big mess. So let me show you exactly how

to clean out your locker so you can do the same stuff and get yourself organized.

So this is the locker I have right here. And inside, you can see it is just a big mess

like you can't find anything, things are just shoved inside and grabbing something from

the bottom is just really difficult to do. So the first thing you want to do is grab

a sheet of paper because you are going to write down the things that you need to do

And so, I've created a locker clean out checklist for you. There's a link below where you can

download it and you can print it and you can use this as you're cleaning out your locker.

So I have mine right here. And I have a marker. And as I come across things that required

me to take action, I'm just going to write them down.

So in addition to the list, I also have three bags that I just got from home, just grocery

store bags. And what I'm going to do is we are going to sort things into each bag as

we come across trash, recycling and things that belong -- like things you want to take

home or things that belong to other people. So I'm just going to hang them right here.

And then I'm going to take three sticky notes. And so, I've just grabbed three different

colors of sticky notes just so we can create like quick labels just like this.

And actually, you don't have to label them. Like if you just remember this is trash, this

is recycling, this is to bring home, that's perfectly fine also. But just to make this

-- just so you can better see, I'm just creating one for home. I'm just going to put that right

there. Then I'm going to create one for trash. I'm just writing with the Sharpie. And then

And then we are going to just staple it to each bag just so we can know what is what.

And the best time -- like if your school doesn't give you a designated locker clean out day,

like we used to have locker clean out day and it goes like once a quarter in our high

school and middle school. If you don't have that, you can maybe get to school a little

bit earlier and do this or stay after school for like 30 minutes. It really shouldn't take

you that long to do this, or if you have like interact or recess or maybe during your lunch

you could do this. But really, just find a time when you have some down time and you

OK. So I've got my three bags right here. And what we're going to do here is we're going

to start at the bottom and we're just going to sort everything out into trash, recycling,

OK. So we have all of our bags labelled right here nice and organized. And now, we're just

going to go through and pick one thing out like one by one and just sort it out into

what's trash, recycling, and what's to bring home. So, we're just going to start here.

So gym shoes -- we're going to pretend like this is the end of the year and we are going

to bring those home. We no longer need those.

All right. A worksheet from last quarter, a test from last quarter, trash, so what I'm

doing here is I'm just going to take out all the paper. I'm going to lay everything flat.

And if you don't have time to kind of go through the papers right now because you don't have

a lot of time, just stack them nicely. And what you can do is just bring them home and

when you get home, go through them one by one and figure out what you actually need

to keep, put in your filing cabinet or what can be discarded because you're not taking

that subject anymore or next year, it won't be applicable or you just don't need it. And

then everything else -- everything that's obvious trash, we're going to put in the trash.

OK. So my lunchbox can go at home. OK. So like a sweatshirt you borrowed from a friend;

that needs to go back to a friend. So we're going to go here and on our locker clean out

checklist, we're going to say, "Give sweatshirt back to friend." Just like that. And so, that's

your first action item. So when you're done cleaning out your locker, you're going to

have a nice list of things that you need to do.

All right. More papers, so just think like how good you're going to feel like once everything

is organized and the mess is gone and it's just going to be like a fresh new start if

it's like the middle of the school year or if it's the end of the school year then it's

going to feel good to already have gotten this done.

OK. So like here's that agenda book that you couldn't find in the middle of the school

year and because you couldn't find your agenda book, you aren't writing down your homework

or your assignments, project due dates or test dates and stuff. So it just goes to show,

if you get organized, you can find the things that you have been missing. So what I'm going

to do is I want to bring this home so we can kind of go through that. All right.

So here's a book from the library. So this needs to be returned. So on my list, I'm going

to write, "Return library book." OK. I got some more notes. Here is trash. This is like

a note from a friend. I'm going to recycle that. OK. Here are gym clothes. This needs

to go home so we can wash this. These are pretty gross. This is just like random stuff.

We can bring this home with us. And when you get home, you need to go through this bag

and take action and decide what's to do with these things.

OK. Here's a book. Now, because your locker was so messy, you spilled on your book. So

good things you had it covered so it doesn't get damaged. Old gum, that can be trashed,

candy wrapper, a gross tissue. OK. Here's like school photos that you paid money for

and now they're at the bottom of your locker. That can go home. This fell down from your

locker so we'll just -- for now, we'll just put it back up. OK. And then a pen. So we'll

All right. So now, the bottom or your locker is clear now. Like that didn't take up that

much time, like a few minutes. And we can finally see the bottom. So if you have a wet

wipe, I would suggest just wiping it down or doing whatever you need to, to clean the

All right. So now, we are going to see what's at the top of the locker, clean that out into

our categories and just continue making progress.

Here is a disgusting banana that we found on top of the locker.

OK. So now that we've cleared out all the mess, all the papers, all the trash, recycling

out of your locker into these three bags, now it's just a matter of taking the trash

to the trashcan, take the recycling to recycling, and then when you go home after school, just

make sure you bring this bag with you. I'm just going to tie this so nothing falls out.

And I'm going to hang this in the locker or I'm going to put this in the bottom of the

locker so when we go home, we can bring those.

And then our action list, what we're going to do is put all the papers that we need to

go through. I'm actually going to put them inside of this folder right here. I just have

a folder underneath my checklist. So then we can just bring the folder home.

And then maybe not after school today but maybe this weekend or Sunday, we can go through

the sack of papers and figure out what we need to keep and what we can get rid of. And

that really depends on what stuff you need to keep and what stuff like you need for next

year and what stuff is safe to get rid of.

OK. So then on my checklist, I'm going to add, "Go through these stacks or go through

the stack of paper." All right. Cool. So now, I'm just going to take this home and I will

deal with that when I get home. But as you can see, that didn't take up a lot of time

to organize your locker. It's just a matter of going through all the stuff, pulling out
