Level 1: We started with a 15-minute warm-up activity. The students work in pairs to find out what their partner has been up to recently and then reported their findings to the rest of the class. Everyone did a great job using rejoinders and asking follow-up questions. We finished pages 44-46 and then completed the first page of the next unit. 

For homework, please answer the following 3 questions about a special place from your childhood:
1. Why was it special for you?
2. How often did you go there?
3. What did you do there? I used to...

Level 3: We played a warm-up game where in pairs you had to write 7 answers for each of the 7 different categories written on the board. We completed the 3 readings about fashion and then answered the T/F questions on pages 35-39.
