Friday class's Presentations

Congratulations and hat's off to the Friday class's presentations this afternoon!! I was a little sad and annoyed at 2 people who didn't come and whose presentations we were expected. But those who did them "hit it out of the ball park" to use an American baseball expression!!

I am going to post a copy of the words to the song as they are very special and I will post links to the videos as soon as I can!  :)

Conv B2 :More listening practice

We spoke about these videoclips in one of the conversation courses. It's relevant to the YouTube clip and how children today are so different and so attached to advanced technology.

Conv. B2 class on Wed. May 14th

To clarify things, we DO have class this Wednesday the 14th!

We will do some work with intonation, then play taboo with the vocabulary from the Love and Travel and Tourism lists and then do on other game.

Conv. B2 Monday and Tuesday

We will finish the exercises that we didn't do from FACEBOOK MANNERS AND YOU.
In the Mon. -Wed. class, this was the 2nd viewing questions and the vocabulary. In the Tues- Thurs. we did these so it will be only the Vocabulary.
Then we will discuss a Sherlock Holmes mystery, which comes in 3 letters A, B and C. Each student got only 1 letter, which makes it more interesting cause you need to exchange information before solving.  Anyone who who was absent, I can send you a copy of 1 of the letters before the class if you email  kateseley@gmail.com

I will post the things for the Wed. class later.

And ---congratulations to Virginia and Isabela for a brilliant presentation!
