I'm sorry

Today we are going to continue where we left off last time.

Hope you have all read the text...

I'm sorry but I'll have to let you go

How would you describe the main character?

Do one of the  writing assignments on page 14

As usual mail it to e either on gmail or first class


During the lesson I want you to complete the work from last lesson about Helen Simpson....


READ her story and write a comment in today's blog.

This will now be a usual exercise.

Hopefully by the end of this lesson as many of you as possible will have loaded up the grammar program.

I want to go through it with you at the end of the lesson and show you how to work with it...

Hi and welcome back!

Hi everyone and welcome back after a hot, hot summer.

Hope your vacation (holiday) was all you had hoped for.

So, here we are with a new academic year, new text book and the same old teacher!  GROAN !!!!!!!!!!

So, let's make the most of it!

We start off by making the traditional pilgimage to the great prophet Björn in the library!

(Hope he's not one of the ones they are planning to shoot!)

Then when we get back to the classroom we will look at the book and remind each other about the web.

After that we arer going to divide into small groups for some discussions and activities. 

The final activity will be to do something on the Context web
