Day of Dead

We have class every Saturday so I don't see you very often. I am very nosy (chismoso) and I am curious about you lives. So for this weeks' post you need to write about what you did this Day of Dead.

I want you to write some of the activities you did this holiday weekend, make sure to use the past tense. If you did not do anything, do not write, "I didn't do anything." Ivent something!

Guess the Event

Similar to the last activity, now you will write about a famous event that everyone should know.

Read the instructions carefully.

First, think of a famous event that we all know.

Second, use the list of verbs in the past to write a very good description of the event. Do not write the name of the event, we are going to guess (adivinar) the person.

Third, write event you think it might be after you read the description.

Remember, do not write the name of the event you are writing about!

Remember, guess the ones you think you know!

Guess the Person

Read the instructions carefully.

First, think of a famous, dead person we all know.

Second, use the list of verbs in the past to write a very good description of the person. Do not write the name of the person, we are going to guess (adivinar) the person.

Third, write the name of the person you think it after you read the description.

Remember, do not write the name of the person you are writing about!

Remember, guess the ones you think you know!

Past Tense

Okay, since we're going to learn the past next week, we should start learning more about it, right?

1st click one of the following links to begin to study some of the verbs. Not all the verbs are important so only study the ones you think will help you. Choose the link you understand best.

1. Verbs

2. More Verbs

2nd Click one of the following links to play a game that tests your memory. Play them to review the verbs. Try to use all of them so you remember them more.

2. Another Game

3. Yet Another Game

Welcome

We will use this blog to complement the class and to give you an opportunity to practice your English outside of class with not only your classmates but students from another class of the same level. The Blog will be updated at least once a week which means you have to check it weekly. The content on the blog will be based on themes we touch in class and in the book. Each week there will be either a link to go to or a passage on which we will comment. The idea of the blog is to work from each other's ideas. So you will read what other people have written and comment based on what they said.

Welcome
