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
