Summer at last!

Hi again!

I just want to wish you a happy summer and I hope you'll have a great summer break.

Grade 8 - I will see you again in August. Grade 9 - Good luck in the future! It's been great knowing you.

Here is a video from me and the rest of the staff so you won't forget us!

Be happy!

8a, 8b - Create your own English blog

Hi everyone!

The remaining weeks we are going to work with blogs. You are going to create your own English blog on Blogger and you will fill the blog with your own video-clips, photos, different types of texts. You will start off by designing the blog and making a video-presentation of yourselves.

Your blog can be private and you choose the readers. I will show you how to do this during our next lesson.

Here are the instructions for creating the blog and the first assignment.

The first blog assignment

8A, 8B - My two weeks as a trainee

Hello again!

So, you're going on work practice for two weeks! While you are away I want you to find out some things about your workplace. Take a look at the instructions below and prepare an essay and a keynote. You will present your work place for me and your class when you return to school after the Easter holiday.

Have fun!

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!

8A - Ireland and a new chapter!

Hello!

I've sent all your letters to your pen pals in Tubbercurry, Ireland so keep checking your mailboxes for answers. I want you to keep in touch with your new pals by emailing them, you can also add them to snapchat, Facebook etc. Eventually we will schedule a time when you can talk to them through Skype.

We will take a closer look at Ireland this week. Download the questions and find out more facts about Ireland. Add some lovely pictures of Ireland in your fact sheet.
