Wasn't it a beautiful day? (Don't you notice the negative question? I'm just giving you the chance to see it in "real English". Of course, I expect you to agree with me!)
I introduced you to the slang, pack rat. I feel I'm definitely a pack rat-- I save baby clothes, old pictures, cards, etc. You name it, I save it! Then, we listened to a story from Story Corps. I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I do. NPR airs the program once a week and you can find them on the web site. I used the story for listening practice (native speaker/radio show) to practice reported speech. Tomorrow, we will have one more focused activity on reported speech and then we'll move on.
The drip calculator was interesting-- it's hard to imagine how much water the drips amount to. I took your ideas to conserve water and made a ballot for you. I'll keep track of our top choices (water, garbage, etc.). It looks like we'll be having a green cleaning demonstration on May 7. I'm still working on getting the other speakers. You created comprehension questions on the pre-ged readings for test preparation. I took some of your questions (and some of my own) and developed a worksheet for tomorrow's class.
You're also doing well with the error corrections. Sometimes, they're difficult to spot.
Tomorrow we'll get back to writing, but the exciting rubric activity won't be until Thursday. Have a good night!
