Hello everyone,

I hope that you are managing to stay dry in this raining weather!

In the level 1 class today, we talked about frequency. We finished page 44 and then played a really fun board game. J For homework, please finish the “How Often” conversation on page 105 and preview the frequency questions on page 77 and 78.

In the level 2 class we discussed city life. Great work on your mind maps (page 38)! I was quite impressed with all of the detail. We also finished the points of view section on page 39 and the personalization section on page 40. For homework, please answer the discussion questions at the bottom of page 40.

   

In the level 3 class we discussed city life. Your mind maps were also really well done! I really enjoyed listening to you present them. You did a very good job connecting all of your ideas. After discussing your mind maps, we finished the points of view section on page 39 and the personalization section on page 40. For homework, please answer the discussion questions at the bottom of page 40.

In the level 4 class we finished listening 1. The listening was quite challenging but judging by your answers to the main ideas and details questions and from your discussion on the “what do you think?” questions, it seems like everyone fully understood the article. Next week we will do listening 2 so please complete the vocabulary section on pages 115 & 116 and listen and/or read the article a few times before coming to class.

I am looking forward to seeing you all again on December 1. Please note that all of the classes will be held in room M206 on DECEMBER 1.

Regards,
