1S1 Today’s work.

fabienjolive — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:04:00 +0000

You certainly remember that you had to write your opinion on space missions… (You can’t have so little memory, can you?)

Well, here is the first example done by one of your comrades. We first read it, then we started correcting it.

You can have another closer look at it. Don’t forget that you still have to work on opinion 2, 3 and 4!

208 Today’s lessons. Worksheet and debate!

fabienjolive — Wed, 13 May 2009 21:35:49 +0000

After correcting the exercises you had to prepare for today, you were asked to write letters. Some of you wrote to a Greenpeace activist and the other group wrote to the Japanese Government to expose your views on Whaling. I’ll post some of your letters later on.

This is the document you were handed today. Remember that you have to do the exercises for next Monday.

We will correct them and we will have a debate on whaling.

The second worksheet will show you the caharcters you will have to choose for the debate. You can get ready now!

Remember that you will be asked to play the part of one of these characters, which means that some of you will have to defend an opinion which is in contradiction with what you really think!

First worksheet: Grammar: Used to…

Second worksheet: Debate characters. Choose one from the following list!

Once again, for those of you who didn’t get THE WHOLE THING during the lesson, you can ask me some questions right here in the comments zone…
