Work practice instructions

9A - Holes

Hi everyone!

It's so great to be back after the Christmas break, don't you think? I have to say you did a great job on the video recording of "Reply to China". I've edited the video and hopefully the Chinese students will see it before their winter break begins. Hopefully we will receive other videos from around the globe this spring!

On Tuesday we'll start reading a book called "Holes" by Louis Sachar. I'm sure you'll love it! Before we start reading we will take a look at some of the vocabulary from chapter 1 - 7, and you will also discuss some of the topics in the book. After we've read the first seven chapters you will have some written and verbal assignments to do. I will add them as links in this blog.

That's all for now. Have a great week!
