Today: Unit 12

1. Starter: significant historical events
   
2. The grammar topic that is perhaps the most important for CT: Linking devices

SB p.99 has nine significant events in human history. 

Can you put them in order and determine their significance/importance?

Topic 2: Linking devices

A starter

Write down all the linking devices you can find in the following text

The astronaut Rusty Schweickart made a spacewalk in order to test an emergency procedure, in case the Apollo capsule and lunar module failed to connect. However, as the test began, there was a delay due to a technical problem, and as a consequence, Rusty had five minutes in space on his own whilst it was being fixed. 

Although the astronauts hadn't been briefed to take photographs, when Rusty saw the Earth hanging in space, he was so awestruck that he immediately captured it on camera. Not only did these images affect the astronauts deeply, they also had a profound effect on the rest of mankind.

These are all 14 linking devices in the text

Linking devices

All linking devices have a function.

For skills, it is important to know these functions.
