Ice-breaker/Ted Talk/planner/Presentation of your study area

First of all some important information about the course.
Monday lessons will start at 9 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. as I have to fit in my online Spanish class.
However, I think it is important to use the "lost" hour wisely. I will put some resources every week on the blog for those in need of guidance.
This week I have put on the "bad day" texts to comment.
What was your worst day?

Otherwise the classroom will be open at 8 and it gives you a great opportunity to do your vocabulary work, book reading or other tasks

Down to today.We are going to start off with an ice-breaker exercise based on something you wrote to me in your personal letter.

I have tried to take something general (not too personal) and not too obvious.

Go round in class and by asking questions ascertain (find out) the name of the person in question.

The first all correct answer gets a little prize of some candy(sweets).

 If we have time before the break I want to do a couple of presentations of the different study areas

After the break we will go through the planner in detail. No paper copy. It's on the blog.

Finally your TED-talk. In small groups of 4 give a 30 second look at your TED Talk and then tell the other students about it and your opinions on it.

Don't forget to email me the summary of it.
