Dont forget about your vocabulary words as well!

Nearly everyone is on the wiki now and knows how to use it. The more people get involved, the more useful it is for all of us. This weekend I'd like __everyone__ to post a topic on the discussion page, and respond to __each__ topic from the other students. A few sentences for each topic will give you some useful writing practice. Have a good weekend! Nathan

Hello E5H!

First, I would just like to say that you all did a great job with your grammar presentations today. You only had a short time to prepare and i thought that you all raised some good points in your groups. To the last 2 groups, i apologise that you didnt have as much time as the others but you all worked well together and hopefully learnt something about gerunds and inifintives!

The gerund/infinitive sheet i gave you is also important but it can be completed over the next few days/weekend. Your essays are MORE important!
 * DON'T FORGET** that you MUST have an ARGUMENTATIVE essay written for tomorrow MORNING! Use the plan you wrote for homework on pg 131. Your essay should be AT LEAST 300 words!

Good luck in your listening tests and i will see you in week 5!

Kylie


 * Tuesday 5 Oct 2010**

Hi all!

Just a reminder that your **homework** tonight is to write an ARGUMENTATIVE essay plan for ONE of the topics on pg 131 of the student book. Use the essay plan structure on this page and come ready to use this tomorrow! You dont need to write the essay tonight. ONLY the essay plan!

You all worked really hard today so have a good rest and I'll see you all tomorrow morning!

Kylie

Hello E5H!
 * Monday 4 Oct 2010**

Don't forget that you have your reading test **TOMORROW MORNING**! Don't be late!

Remember that you have **2 pieces of homework** for this evening:

1. complete the verb sheet (gerund/infinitive form) 2. Reading " Why So Many Children?" REMEMBER: For those of you who love your dictionaries, yes they are useful, but you can't use them in an exam! Complete the reading and multiple choice questions WITHOUT using your dictionary. Also, **try** and complete the multiple choice **without** looking back at the reading.

See you bright and early tomorrow!

The class homework for the weekend is to: Have a great weekend! See you in week 4.
 * Friday 1 Oct 2010**
 * 1) complete the essay plan on page 189 of the student book
 * 2) Join this wiki
 * 3) Put a question or discussion topic on the wiki

It is not the best way to give us homework cause we can change the text. :) Anyway, only 7 people are members of this page so I think "How could I join to the Wikispaces?" would be a good topic on next week classes.:D:P (John) Haha, thanks John - none of my students thought of that trick last module! Interesting point :) Kylie might be able to help any students who are lost. Nathan
