True Grit!

Today we will be having a short lesson. I have to leave by 10.55.


Those who missed the exercise about chapters 2-5 of No. 1 Ladies' need to do it today.


Otherwise we will do two things.

1. Planner- to go through the planner and discuss especially the reading of No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

Week 45- pages 71-120 (chapter 6-9)

Week 47- pages 121-172 (chapters 10-16)

Week 48- pages 173-233 (chapters 17-22)

2. To watch a short Ted Talk about motivational skills and their importance for our success as students and people.

Here is the film



Then discuss the film in small groups.

Why is "grit" so important compared with intelligence and social background?

Can you give any examples of famous people who have shown "true grit" in their success?

Can you think of examples from your own life when grit and determination really helped you?

Send in a  message from each group to Vklass where you give bfeedback about your discussions.
