Context 2- I'm sorry I'll have to let you go

From next week onwards we will be using Vklass for all assignments. 

I will publish the blog pages in the course webpage so that you will only need to stay in one place.

Today we are going to have a more traditional English lesson.

Start off by opening the new words document.

You can open it in the format which is suited for your computer.

Then every second week you need to send a digital copy to Vklass of a wordlist with 25 words and sentences.

Make sure your NAME and WEEK are in the title of the file:
newwords_mike_week38.

The first list will be handed in AT THE LATEST  Monday week 38  - 14th September

Back to today....

I want to try out a more traditional language lesson today.

We are going to work in the Context book with the first text:
"I'm sorry I'll have to let you go"

It's all about breaking up in  a relationship.

Ice-breaker
What is the most common way that people break up today?
Look at the video.

Where do you think the couple are from (their accent)?
Why is the girl so angry about the break-up?

Listening
We are going to listen to the text... Have your word list open in the background. I will ask everyone in the class questions about the text and vocabulary

Speaking
Role play
Play the role of Sarah and a friend after the break-up and discuss the way things went.
OR
Play the role of the protagonist and a friend discussing the break-up

Writing
Do exercise B on paper

Reading
Now we have read/listened to the text
There are a number of idiomatic phrases and words in the text. (You know like " Today it's raining cats and dogs)
Look for 10 of them and if they are new for you add them to your word list

Example  page 7  aggro;  page 8  up to scratch (line 3); page 9 taking it in (line 5);  page 10 (line 2) she knows the score: page 11 (line 10) get off my case

Page 344 is the word list

Finally

Using prepositions
Do exercises H and I

Verb forms
A lot of the text is written in the past tense
(simple past and pluperfect "had thought" etc.)
Work out 56-57  on page 296-297

write down any new phrases in your digital word list

already week 38 we will have a test on the chapter
