ELL 1/2 Topic Presentations

 Hello ELL level 1/2 students!

For the presentation, you must find a partner. Please choose an animal. You will present about this animal and teach the class. You can choose any animal you like. Please do your own writing. Don't copy from other websites. You can use computers to make a PowerPoint to show us and teach us about the animal. You should speak for 3-5 minutes. You and your partner should speak.

1. Teach us about the place where the animal lives (habitat)
2. Is this animal common?
3. Teach us about what kind of things the animal eats.
4. Teach us some other interesting things about this animal.
5. Show us some pictures!

ELL3 Current Events

Here's our current event project for ELL3 social studies:

1. Make a pair with one other person.
2. Find a newspaper article. Check these websites - they are all reliable, but some of them will have more difficult English than others.
1. cbc.ca
2. https://www.nytimes.com/ca/    < - this one is tough
3. cnbc.com
4. https://www.ctvnews.ca/
5. https://globalnews.ca/
3. Read the article together.
4. Create a short presentation - 3-5 minutes. You can use a computer to make a PowerPoint or Google Slide. Tell us:
1. An article summary. Give us the key details so we can understand the news.
2. Is there more background about this problem or news?
3. Who is it about, who does it affect? How does it affect them?
4. Why is this news important?
5. What can we do with the knowledge this news offers?

Wrapping up Animal Farm

 Greetings English 10 - here are a few items:

1. Reread "The Psychology of Dictators" - this text is key in order for you to answer the essay question on Friday. With 80 minutes, you won't have time to read the entire thing during class. Look through the reading for evidence that explains what a dictator is.
2. Bring your chapter package on Monday next week. We should focus exclusively on the essay for Friday.

When you come in on Friday, put your bags at the front of the room or on the couch. You should only have your green sheet essay guide, pink rubric, "Psychology of Dictators," and Animal Farm.
