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...

• 2 classes per week
• Of Course! 4V/Gym for grammar, vocab and skills
• Literature Programme that includes literary theory and the reading of 3 novels, 1 of which is The Circle, the other 2 you choose (min. 200 pages, written by native English writer, aimed at (young) adults

Programme:

• Bonus Test vocab 1.1-1.4 on 11 September > bonus 10 = + 1 on your unit test, 9 = +0.9, 8= +0,8 etc
• 23 - 27 September: Activity Days
• 2 October Test unit 1 Grammar + Vocabulary
• 16 October Book Test The Circle
• 21 October Autumn Break
• Testweek 7 November: Reading + Individual Presentations

So the programme for the following weeks is as follows:

IN CLASS:

• take notes
• do exercises to check your understanding
• work on your homework
• check your homework to check your understanding

AT HOME/ON YOUR OWN 

• study vocabulary unit 1
• read novel and make notes
• finish your homework

What is always a good idea:

Watch films and series in English.

Read in English.

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.
