no judgement!

Class expectations

Everyone tries to speak English

Laptops are half-closed when not in use - NO gaming!

Listen to each other when someone's speaking

You're silent when working alone - Q's allowed

No loud noises when working together

Have respect and be kind!

Write a review

Include:

background info (2 sentences),

plot & main characters (2-3 sent),

your opinion (min 2 sent: 1 good thing, 1 bad thing),

a summary of your opinion & recommendation = who should watch it and why?

XYZ is the latest film directed by...

about your favorite or

least favorite movie

Write in your paper notebook. The information in your review does not need to be true ;)

(since you can't research)

I feel like I can write a simple (& good)
review of a film.

3.4 Reading

Goal: you can understand the keypoints in a text on a familiar topic?

1: Start by looking at the (sub)title and pictures.

2: Read the first and last sentences of each paragraph. 

3: Read the questions.

4: Underline important words in Qs.

4: Find the answers in the text and answer the questions. 

Done? Make sure you answered everything and read your book.

Tips to R-E-L-A-X

                                       Check yourself

Every answer is worth one point.

You need at least 16 out of 20 for

a 6.0 on the real reading test.
