B2.2 Class of Mar 7 and 8

Hi Classes,

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
__________________ Class of Mar 7,8

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...)
 
3. Go on to p.52 – ( reading was  for hmwk. but I prefer to do the 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 for  them to to match each speaker with one of the kinds of scientists and summarize what their work involved. ( B )
Present on board possible difficult vocab. from listening :  paramount, end up, aim, forecast, endeavour, flow, etiquette and if they are nouns verbs or both.
Pronounce these words in English: vital, regime, psychology, potential.
Listen a 2nd time to do C in pairs or 3’s.
BREAK
After break:
3 b. Get answers to Listening C p. 52 if no time before break.
 
4.  Go back to p. 50. Do A and C, in pairs, going over quickly as whole group.
 
5. p.51  GRAMMAR A :Introduce the passive on having them read the 8 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 Forming words  A on p. 52.  (IF extra, time can be done in class)

 we are skipping Unit 8 so will strat with 9 next class.

Extra homwork . Quiz p. 61 except #s 13. and 15 
p. 62 GRAMMAR, LANGUAGE PATTERNS, PREPOSITIONS
 Thanks Kate
