Planning, new book and preparations for book talk

Today we are going to go through the planner for this term.

Here are the results of your planning you did in small groups:
Måndag 18 januari 2016 kl: 13:22
What language skills do you think we should give priority to this term?
1. Writing
2. Speaking
3. Listening (to different accents!)
4. Reading

Which areas/methods should we focus the most on? - Working in the text book and using the internet! That incorporates the other areas (grammar, vocabolary) in a good way.


2.Decide in the group on one way we can practise listening
Watch documentaries and speeches with different accents. Listening to songs without knowing the lyrics is also a good way to practise listening.


3. Decide one way in the group we can practise speaking.
Have discussions around current topics. Read the texts from Context out loud in groups instead of listening from the CD.


4. Decide on AT LEAST one text from "Context 2" we can work on together.
The drover's wife.

5. Decide on one topic in the group we can do a writing assignment about.
Social media
