Level 100

We started off with a "Pets" warm-up discussion activity, wrapped up most of the "A Perfect Gift" unit except for the last bit on p. 72, which I assigned as homework.

Homework: Please do the brief crossword (Part A) and the "Level Up" Conversation Ex. on p. 72.

Level 200

After a brief "Food" warm-up discussion activity, we reviewed the crossword homework from the week before, reviewed the vocabulary on p. 24 and I gave them some pointers, speech techniques and advice for their next presentation on "Books."

Homework: Prepare and practice your "Books" presentations and be ready to give your presentation in next week's class.

Level 300

No warm-up, just jumped right into the book. We polished off the end of the  "Online Dating" chapter and then went over the Readings 1-3 and various discussion questions about them in the beginning of the "Anger" chapter.

Homework: Please do Parts 1 & 2 in the "Guess Meaning from Related Words" section, on pp. 73-74. Also, please do the "Reading" in Part II on pp. 75-76.

Level 400

They had a good time doing a Conversation Game warm-up activity. We then finished up the 2nd half of chapter 10, including a final group discussion of the Critical Thinking question, plus their own questions I had asked them to prepare ahead of time. 

Homework: Please do the "Key Word Vocabulary" section in Chapter 11 (Homeschooling), and be prepared to define the terms using simple English next week.
