Welcome back!

Welcome back after the mid-term break. 

Whether you have been on a cruise on the Baltic Sea or skiing 90 kilometres or just chilling in front of a screen or two I hope you got something positive out of your break.

On this course we will now turn to the first book assignment. It is based on the language of "Letters from the Inside". 

The book contains a lot of slang used by the two girls. Some expressions are clearly from the USA, some from the UK and others are from Australia.

We are going to do a little etymological study to try and find out (where possible) from which "English" they come. In the Fun day Monday I have put a little example worksheet we can go through together. 

Now here comes the real thing
Use the links suggested in the document as well as your own google searches to find the answers.

As you can see  on Friday we will be doing some poetry analysis in small groups and also giving those who missed the interviews a chance to do so.

We will try to get it organised today.

Good luck!
