Tuesday, October 16th

On Tuesday the 16th at the English class we first checked our homework in our notebooks. The rest of the class we were talking to each other in dialogues from our English book. There are 8 different dialogues and each one of them is talking about a different thing. At the end of the class we were talking to the teacher in this dialogues. Filip, class 9a

Monday, October 15, 2012 Today's English class started at 12.10. First we checked our homework. For homework we had to read a text about the life and habits of a Native American and sort the verbs in the text by tenses (Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple and Present Perfect). Each student read the verbs, which were in the same tense. Our teacher told us to do the 'pattern practice' on pages 20 and 21 in our books (we had to do it in pairs). We had to make dialogues, it was a revision of the Present Perfect tense. This could be very boring, but after every 3 to 5 minutes, the student, sitting on the left side of the desk, had to move a chair behind and continue making dialogues with his new partner. We then repeated the same thing, but this time with students, sitting on the right side of the desk. I had a lot of fun doing this exercise, I think the idea behind it is very fresh and interesting. The bell rang at 12.55, which meant that the class was over. A SPECIAL NOTE FOR MY CLASSMATES: Don't forget to do the exercise 3 in your books, page 20. There are also exercises 24, 25, 26 and 27 in your workbooks waiting for you! Veronika Hanc, 9.a

Native American Indians I was quite excited for Wednesday's English lesson because we all knew that we are going to have a short quiz about the Native Americans. Most of my classmates have heard about the Indians before; maybe from History class, movies (everyone knows Pocahontas, right?) or interesting books. Our English teacher gave us a long, but a really fascinating text and put us to groups of 4 and each of the group had to make-up different kinds of questions from the text on a piece of paper. For example: What did the Native Americans in the 20th century suffer from? a) Music b) Poverty c) John Lennon After we finished, we changed our papers with other groups and answered their questions. Miss Oroz asked us to read the text once more and then we had a quick quiz. Unfortunately my group didn’t win. We weren’t too sad about it. The winners (of course) won some pretty marbles form Mercator - the ones with mammoths and weird-looking squirrels on it. Živa Hanc, 9.a

On Tuesday, 9/10/2012 at English lesson, we worked in groups. Ms Oroz put us in groups. We got worksheets. Before solving them we needed to read the text about Native Americans. When we read it, we wrote questions on the worksheet. When we all wrote the questions, we changed the sheets with other groups and solved their questions. The time passed quickly because the work was fun! Kristina, class 8

Our English lesson today started as usual: our teacher came in class and we all stood up, said »Good morning!« and sat down. She told us that we will do a group exercise today so she put us in groups of 3 and 4. I was in group with Anže and Luka. We all had to do the same thing: we had to read the text and then make questions about it. We were done pretty fast so we changed the sheet with another group and tried to answer all of their questions. We had to change the sheet with every group until we had all the answers. Today our group almost finished everything so we will continue with answering the questions on Wednesday. And that is what our English lesson was like today. Domen, 9.b
