welcome y'all.

Today's class:

- start theme 1 'holiday times'.

- instruction on preparing for watching/listening exercises.

- do exercise 6d in Stepping Stones.

- booklet quiz. (if you behave !)

Holiday times.

The theme starts with a question (exercise 5) rather then with an explanation.

What do you think is the purpose of that question?

Holiday times.

When you do a listening or watching exercise it always helps to be aware of the subject. 

Look for a title or keywords and ask yourself what you already know about the subject.

Holiday times.

Before listening or watching you must carefully  read the questions. 

That way you can determine what you need to listen for.

Underline keywords in the questions or write them down. 

Finally determine what the purpose or objective is of the exercise.

1: listening for the MAIN IDEA. 

2: SPECIFIC INFO.

3: DETAILED UNDERSTANDING

the whole shebang. understanding of the story as a whole.

read the questions to listen/look for specific information.

the WH questions: what/who? where? when?

Holiday times.
