English week 47

Wednesday 20 November

Today we have different tasks to do...

Great Women
If you have completed your study of a historically significant woman, make a summary on 1 page of A4 paper that we can add to our display of "Great women".

Include the key facts (dates and achievements) - enough to make us curious and want to learn more!

My generation
Everyone who wrote a text in answer to Monday's questions has received detailed feedback and corrections. So...

• log into Twinspace and add/edit your text. 
• comment on somebody else's text
• show a new group member how to log in and publish their work

Welcoming new group members
In the classroom, we're going to do some different types of exercise so we can learn about one another, see what works best and what each new participant can contribute.

Personal pronouns

Here is a link to the original document: Personal pronouns 1

Here are 2 copies that can be freely edited: Personal pronouns 1 - copy1
Personal pronouns 1 - copy 2

Monday 18 November

This week we welcome some new group members!

I'm in a meeting with my LISA colleagues from 9 - 12 so you don't need to be in school for the first lesson.

Those of you who have a login to Twinspace can work there on the topic "My generation".

For those of you who don't have a login or experience problems with Twinspace, here are the questions I'd like you to work with:

What year were you born?
What special experiences and memories do you have in common with other people of around your age?
What are the problems that face your generation?
What opportunities does your generation have?

What differences have you noticed between your generation and older generations?

You can email me the answers - gordon.mcculloch@folkbildning.net

I'll check my email at 10:15 on Monday and register class attendance then.
