Before we start

Some rules and agreements:

How about chattering?	When I talk, you are silent and pay attention. When I appointed a student to talk, the others are silent and pay attention.
Books and laptop	Textbook + workbook + laptop.
Homework	You can find your homework in the planner (SOM). I will always tell you your homework at the end of the lesson.
If you have a question?	ASK! Be curious! We are in a safe zone and we respect each other (which means: no laughing at each other).
