After today's class:

• You will know my name (or so I hope).
• You will have thought about what you want to achieve for English this year.
• You will have decided how you are going to achieve your goal and what you require from your teacher.
• You will know what we will do in class the following weeks and what you will do at home.

Before we look at our programme...

tell me something about yourself

This is how I feel about my summer holiday:

😒🙁😐🙂😃

What I liked most during the summer was...

I have a pet.

YES

NO

My favourite pastime is...

Now let's talk about school for a bit.

I know I am good at...

1. doing English grammar
2. working together with classmates
3. studying and using English vocabulary
4. doing my homework on a regular basis

Considering my results from previous years I am most confident about my English...

1. Speaking
2. Writing
3. Listening
4. Reading

My goal for English this schoolyear is...

This is what I am going to do to achieve my goal...

This is what I need from Mrs Hogemans to help me achieve my goal:

More serious stuff...

• SE exam idiom (blue booklet handed out last year) > Test 1 (of 3) about chapters 1-7 in wk 37 (starting 9 September) > set a date
• Testwk starting 23 September: SE Speaking about article, pictures and film seen in class
• Autumn Break in wk 43
• SE Novel 1 in wk starting 28 October > set a date (book 1 in 5H, chosen from literature list)
• Testweek 7 November > SE Writing an Essay

So the programme for the following weeks is as follows:

IN CLASS:

• watch film and take notes while watching
• practise speaking exam with a partner (describing and contrasting pictures, talking about articles and answering questions about the film)
  

AT HOME/ON YOUR OWN 

• study exam idiom chapters 1-7
• after teacher discussion of booklist, pick a novel and start reading

What is always a good idea:

Watch films and series in English.

Read in English.

This information can also be found in Studiewijzer, SOM.

Any questions????

Time left? 

Practise speaking.

Work in pairs.

Take your phone and find a picture that was taken last summer.

Don't show it to your partner!

Describe the picture, while your partner draws what you describe.

Done? Compare the picture to the drawing.

Did you describe well? Is your partner a good listener?

Change roles.

Now we are at the end of our first English class I

1. know my teacher's name .
2. know about what we are going to do during classes in the following weeks.
3. know my teacher's name is Mrs Hogemans, have set my goal for this year and know how I am going to achieve it.
4. feel overwhelmed and slightly apprehensive.
