Saturday, December 7

Level 100:  We took a long time with the giving opinion homework as it was difficult for them and they needed lots of help. I think its a very good thing for them to practice and maybe we can revisit that print or giving opinions topic from time to time.
We  read and did the vocabulary and comprehension section of What is Canada's Favorite Sport. I copied and gave out the second page of the reading so they can do it for homework.

Homework: Please do the Use questions and Remembering Details on Page 102. Also, do the Sentence  Completion, Discussion questions and Critical Thinking Question 1.

Level 200: Students had a very good time and did a good job with the Agreeing/Disagreeing with their classmates' opinion homework. hey were good and I think we can review this topic from time to time to help them get better at it. They also really enjoyed doing the Speak with Confidence group activity. We started Lesson 14 and finished A on Page 34.

Homework: I asked students to choose 3 of the  7 situations and reactions on Page 34 and to write a short dialog continuing the situation. This is the B pair work activity. I thought it would go more smoothly if they did it for homework. They can then come to class to share their completed dialogues with a partner and practice them in pairs.  I told them to have a little fun and be creative with their  dialogues. Example: A: My brother proposed to his girlfriend in Paris! B: How Romantic. (Did she say yes?) A: She said no and told him she doesn't love him.)

Level 300: We talked about what they have been doing the past month. Hiro went to Cambodia last week so he told us about his trip and so on. We took some time doing the crossword puzzle. They did have a lively discussion of Warm up question Number 1 and asked each other questions so we never got past the first question. So please start the lesson by letting them finish discussing warm up questions 2,3,4.

Homework: Please do the vocabulary on Page 56, Read the Points of View on Page 57 and Complete the Personalization  on Page 58.

Level 400:  They had a great, lively discussion of the Critical Questions. They really gave it all a lot of thought and said the topic of happiness was not as easy to talk about as they thought.

Homework:  Review the Before you Watch Questions on Page 88 and do the Word match on Page 89.
