Winding up with the text
Next Friday at this time we will be having a short test to Check your knowledge about what we have done up until now.
We will start today's lesson with a quiz and some prize giving..
Then we will wind up the work with the text. Here is something we missed last time.
Verb forms
A lot of the text is written in the past tense
(simple past and pluperfect "had thought" etc.)
Please discuss Work out 56-57 on page 296-297
Remember the irregular forms of many verbs in the past-
both the simple past and the participle:-
DRIVE- DROVE- DRIVEN
GIVE- GAVE- GIVEN
HERE is a list of most irregular verb forms..
Loads of exercises available at:
agendaweb.org
verb exercises
past and past perfect
Let us look at the PAST PERFECT
Here are some examples from the text in the book:
page 6
He had been living for the past year...
He had flown out to New York
Page 7
He'd noticed
Page 8
They had had a year together
He had thought it through
He had told her about the job
Page 9
he'd always liked it
Why and when do we use this form?
We are going to watch the video from Agendaweb
http://www.agendaweb.org/verbs/past_perfect-exercises.html
Now turn to your neighbour and discuss when and where you use the PAST PERFECT.
The form of the Past perfect is easy to use
HAD or 'D + past participle
FINALLY let's get into the Gleerups Web. Many of you have still not done the Context + exercises there.
The words/phrases in the test are all taken from the two exercises there.
Moreover we will practise verbs using "Take"
Monday's lesson will be for revision

I'm sorry but I'll have to let you go
Thanks for your work about " No. 1 Ladies'"
Still some missing though!!!!!
Today I want to try out a more traditional language lesson .
We are going to work in the Context book with the first text:
"I'm sorry I'll have to let you go"
It's all about breaking up in a relationship.
Ice-breaker
What is the most common way that people break up today?
Look at the video.
Where do you think the couple are from (their accent)?
Why is the girl so angry about the break-up?
Listening
We are going to listen to the text... Have a wordlist open in the background. I will ask everyone in the class questions about the text and vocabulary
Speaking
Role play
Play the role of Sarah and a friend after the break-up and discuss the way things went.
OR
Play the role of the protagonist and a friend discussing the break-up
Writing
Do exercise B on paper as outlines
Reading
Now we have read/listened to the text
There are a number of idiomatic phrases and words in the text. (You know like " Today it's raining cats and dogs)
Look for 10 of them and if they are new for you add them to your word list
Example page 7 aggro; page 8 up to scratch (line 3); page 9 taking it in (line 5); page 10 (line 2) she knows the score: page 11 (line 10) get off my case
Page 344 is the word list
Finally
Using prepositions
Do exercises H and I
Verb forms
A lot of the text is written in the past tense
(simple past and pluperfect "had thought" etc.)
Work out 56-57 on page 296-297
Send in all your answers to Vklass as a message
write down any new phrases in your digital word list
already Friday week 37 we will have a test on the chapter

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, planning and letter to Africa.
Hi everybody!
Hop by the time you read this blog you will have a copy of our novel No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in your hand.
I want you to read pages 1-5 today... just to get started...
Here are the questions I want you to answer..
Send them to me as a message (meddelande) on Vklass.
1. Where and how does the novel start?
2. What picture of the main character- Precious Ramotswe- do we get in these pages?
3. What picture of Africa (Botswana) does Alexander McCall Smith give us? Write down some details.
Secondly I clean forgot last time that all the members of SA15 need to write a personal letter to an African pen-friend in Soroti. (For the students of ES15 (since the last years two students from ES have also travelled to Uganda) it is recommended - but not compulsory.
The letter should contain information about you and your family, your interests, where you live, your studies and things you would like them to tell you.
The deadline is Friday 16th September.
Finally today, if you have time, get into your planning groups and do some more concrete planning for one of your chosen chapters.
How can you do some kind of examination of the chapter to show what you have learnt?
All suggestions can be sent to Vklass.
Have a good week-end and I'll see you all on Monday-
