Hello Class!
I hope that your spring break was relaxing and that you are all healthy and feeling ready to start working on your school assignments again.
As you know, classes will not continue in the school building for the rest of the school year. So students will continue to do school work at home. I strongly encourage you to continue with your learning by participating with me in our daily English classes. The school year is not cancelled! You will receive your final mark and 10E credit and will be ready to move to 20E if you continue to participate in this class. I am here to support you in completing your educational goals. Thank you for continuing to participate in my class.
Today I was very happy to have a successful meeting with many of you on Google Meet (11 students joined the meeting!) It was good to see your smiling faces and hear your voices. I look forward to our meeting again tomorrow. I would like to use this app regularly to meet with you, answer your questions, and read together. If you were unable to join the meeting today, please join us tomorrow at 2:00 pm. I will email a new code and link to the meeting tomorrow. If you have not downloaded the app on your phone, you will need to do that to join the meeting. Please email me if you have any questions.
The Meet app will look like this on your phone:
Today’s Lesson:
We started reading the Who is Malala Yousafzai? book today. We read the introduction together in the meeting (pg. 1 – 6). Before you read Ch. 1, please complete pg. 4 (Before Your Read) and pg. 7 (Dictionary Detective – Ch. 1) of the book study. Then you can read Ch. 1 of the book. I encourage you to read Ch. 1 several times. We will also read it together in the meeting tomorrow. Once you finish the chapter, you should do the assignment on pg. 8-10. Also, this week, after you finish Ch. 1, you will need to write a paragraph about the chapter. This is the assignment that you will email to me. I will tell you more about this assignment tomorrow in our meeting at 2:00 and I will also post instructions about this on tomorrow’s blog.
Please continue to check your emails and the blog each day. You can also email me if you have any questions.
See you tomorrow! 🙂
