What do you remember from last week?

In short: what did you predict would happen in 2223? (try to use 1 or 2 sentences at most)

Today... We are wrapping up grammar

We will do the last exercise in your book 

This exercise combines all tenses:

past - present - future

So... how do you know what to fill in? 

Context! (p.t.1)

Look for words that point out time: 

Is it past, present or future?

Examples:

Tomorrow-tonight-today-yesterday-5 minutes ago

Past simple: 

Look out for words like:

Always, 

every week,

 usually, etc

They indicate a habit 

Don't overthink

Think logically

If you don't know, go with what sounds most logical to you.

Let's do it!

• Page 170 of your book

• Do exercise 26: mixed tenses

• 10 minutes

To work

• Past > Something both started and ended in the past: worked

• Present> things that happen right now: am/is/are working
• Present> Habits, facts and scedules: work/works 

• Future> you planned something in the future: am/is/are going to work
• Future> Predictions/saying something will happen or not: will work

What were the writing tips I gave you last week?

Tip N.o. 1

'Cause is een informele afkorting van because.

Gebruik deze onder vrienden, maar niet in een essay!

Tip N.o 2

some of you used 'll instead of will:

I'll do that - I will do that

Know that this is also kind of informal. Its not wrong, 

but in an essay, use will! 

The next video is about the history of Levi's first jeans.

Take a guess:

How old is the oldest pair of  Levi jeans?

*go to video*

In short: 

• Levi's Jeans were created for the working class (de arbeiders)

• California gold rush
• railway workers

• oldest jeans found come from 1890! (worth 800.000 dollar now) 

Both jeans and 

signature outfit

shirts became the 

for the "cowboy" look

Levi's now

• Wellbeing of factory workers
• Sustainable clothing
• More clothing than just jeans!

• Have projects helping "working families" in over 12 countries 

• support the LGBTQ+ movement

Future?

Think of a brand with a rich history,
that still exists today.

Assignment: Your favorite brand

Start off your essay by describing what your brand does/makes 

• (You are writing this essay for someone who doesn't know anything about your brand yet)

Using all the tenses!

• Past: explain the history of your brand
• present: what do they do now? what effect does this have on people?
• future: what do you think your brand will become/do in the  future?

Game: the battle of words

How to play?

• 2 groups
• Both groups will form a row 

• Every person in the group has to translate one word. 
• If every person in the group translates their own word right, the group get 1 point.

• The first group with 4 points wins

New rule:

If someone doesnt know the word, the person next to them may also guess

Game rules

No spoiling! 

if you spoil, you automatically lose your teams' round, 

and we move on to the next team.

See you next week! - last lesson :(
