I have really been quite sick but went to class today.
I have gotten good feedback about Carole's substitution from Hicham. I'm sure Tom was fine as well even though he had to leave early.
Since I left instructions for them, it's easy for me to copy and post as Class Summary. You can look at some funny and iteresting posts for my Conv. B2 as well. Kate

1. Bottom page 49: for homework you had to read 1 of the files ( I gave
letters to all those present and wrote on blog for absentees to read 1) You could also bring in a scientific innovation they read about elsewhere. in groups of 3 and tell about what you read starting
Have you read/heard that thing about....? Other 2
partners should ask questions or make comments. If there’s someone who was
absent and didn’t read anything, as 4th person will just ask questions
and think of something they’ve read while listening to
others. Each group tells what most interesting thing heard was. (Quickly!)
2. Statistics vocabulary .50 Read in pairs and learn meanings of words in bold. Repeat for pronunciation. Use a few of these expressions in a sentence, imagining you are a Spanish
politician in the recent State of the union debate. (ie, Mr. Rajoy, you’ve
twisted the figures...)

Listening before the break!) Quickly present the word geeky and be sure to understand all the kinds of scientists in the
box of Listening A – 2nd column. THEN DO LISTENING 7.4. Play a first time

sentences in pairs indentifying the passive and answering ?’s 2,3,and 4. Check.
Point out that in English, we don’t have a reflexive like in Spanish, so we
often use the Passive WITHOUT AN AGENT in its place ( as illustrated by the
majority of these sentences ). Also point out infintive passive phrase is
thought to be in sentence 4 and also the use of HAVE as a kind of passive
in sentence #3 ( to have something done.
Do in column 2 of p.51 for homework. Also Vocabulary
