Thank you for all your suggestions. I will include as many as possible in the planner which will be ready by next week.
We are too many to do the planner together but all comments and suggestions to improve the course are welcome.
I want to get your letters now. Only a few people sent them to me digitally.
Let me start off by saying there will be no class on Monday morning.
I have to go to Falun to meet the students who will be studying online.
However you have two assignments for next Friday, over and above what we will be studying today.
1. Your area of studies. Click on the following link to see the areas of study available for the Swedish high school.
Click on your study area and using the translation into English make a wordlist of key words for your study area with translation. Be prepared to tell Mike orally about your studies next Friday.
2. Ted Talks
By using the link to the Topic page choose a TED Talk related to your area of study. I want you to write a brief summary of you talk and in small groups on Friday be prepared to present some information about it. You will show the first couple of minutes of the talk to a small group of students. Make sure you have a computer with you.
Now let's get back to today.
We will be having a traditional kind of class with a:
a)listening exercise
b)reading exercise
c)speaking/ discussion
d) writing a short narrative
a) We will start off by listening to Arthur Cain dscribing the world he grew up in. The sound file is available here for the first part.As we listen please answer the questions either on paper or on your computer.
The second part is here
Arthur is from Scotland and speaks with a characteristic Scottish accent.
b)A completely different accent would be the one used by Bill Sprockett. You can listen to a little section here. But this is a reading task and not just listening.
c) The speaking task is divided into two parts. First of all with your neighbour discuss this story. How would you describe Bill Sprockett's lifestyle?
Secondly do the speaking exercise on page 14/15 in groups of 4 students.
d) Finally there is a writing assignment on the bottom of page 15 which I would like you to do. It's about Bill Sprockett's shoes offering advice.
AS usual all written assignments must be sent digitally or else be handed in on paper before you leave the class.
