B2.2 Friday and Saturday

Very nice and quickly done summary by Eva of the Saturday class below. It's also valid for the Friday class.

Also want to remind you of the homework:

Vocabulary exercise p.10, grammar exercise p.11 and the Reading about "urban myths" on p. 12 with exercise B+C.

I told the Saturday group to think of an urban legend to talk about (and optionally to write it.)

Friday class: Also, think of an urban legend to tell in class, but since you have 2 weeks, you should write it too!

Hi everyone , I'm Eva and this is a summary of our last english class.

Firstly Kate tried to remember each name and even if she couldn't remember all of them, i think this made the class more personal, also we can't forget that we have two new partners (Virginia and Leo, sorry if i'm wrong with the names).

 (WE DID A MIXER EXERCISE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO SAID "YES" TO DIFFERENT SENTENCES THAT REVIEWED THE VOCABULARY AND USE OF VERB TENSES.)

Then we corrected the exercises we were told to do for the class and we started with an exercise about problems in the cities, discussing it by groups: A (Tangshan), B(New York), and C (Dortmund).

Later we made other groups composed by one member from each first group, and we show to our mates what we had learned about each city.

Finally we did a vocabulary exercise and also a listening about natural disasters, taking notes to talk about it later.

i hope you guys enjoyed the class,

see you next saturday.

Finally, I'm repasting the link ofr the video clip about poor people who solve problems in a resourceful way. It goes well with the Listening we did. Some in the Friday class said you watched it but no one in the Saturday class watched it.   http://www.ted.com/talks/iwan_baan_ingenious_homes_in_unexpected_places.html.
