The Fourth Thursday in November

Thursday 27^th November

Hello again!

 How’s your weekend going? I hope it’s Ok.

I’m glad you did your homework. Most of you, at least. Andrea, what happened to your homework? And Alejandro, what about yours?

It was clearly stated on the blog!! In case you didn’t listen to me in class!

We started the class listening to your proposals about what you can do in your area to protect the environment. The best essay was Pilar’s – all of you agreed with me. But the most persuasive speech was Jorge’s. –have you thought about getting into politics (becoming a politician)?

Your essays were OK but they sounded rather (a bit) repetitive. And not many solutions were given. Everything sounded rather ‘abstract’ to me. You should have given more practical solutions.

Anyway, it’s a beginning.

See! It’s not so difficult to enjoy a class and not make the teacher angry!

As it was the fourth Thursday in November, we watch a video about the story and history of Thanksgiving Day.

After watching the video you wrote some questions, in pairs, related to the story and we had a quiz in teams.

You can watch the video again here. And also the version for kids, that tells the story of Plymouth’s rock.

 

    






Homework: read the text on the photocopy and answer the questions all of them. In writing, please!!!

   
And finally, you continued polishing your pieces of information for the         news programme. I hope we can finish it next week!

And talking about news, this is a piece of information that may interest our weatherperson!
