Good evening! What a gorgeous weekend we have had! I hope you were able to enjoy the springy weather! We spent most of our weekend packing and cleaning, but did manage to squeeze in a bike ride along the Burnt Bridge path.
Let's see...Thursday we began class with our idiom/slang-- the computers are down. Then we practiced reported speech, with our fast food dialogue (practicing some pronunciation, too). I'll have to check and see if you remember all the funny sounds that have meaning in English. We'll be continuing these same grammar rules tomorrow-- it is tricky to remember all of the changes that you need to do (follow rules for wh- & yes/no questions or that).
Then, we finished up the introduction to argumentative essays. The twist when writing these essays is the final support paragraph-- the counterargument. I'm looking forward to introducing rubrics to you as I have a fun (really, it will be fun) new introduction.
If you are free on Thursday after class, I hope you will attend the Conversation Lunches. It was a lot of fun last week. If we are lucky and have nice weather this week, we might try to go outside for a Conversation Picnic.
See you in the a.m.
