Linking Words - or Conjunctions

09-02 and 09-07,

This week we learned about the linking words - or conjunctions - and, but, so, because. Remember to study your notes about when we use each one and the rules of punctuation and capitalization that apply to the sentences when we join them together using these linking words.

Using linking words - or conjunctions - correctly is one of the objectives we covered in New Headway Plus Unit 5, so please make sure you know how to use them correctly. If you have any questions, jot them down and ask me.

Have a nice weekend - and remember to start preparing for your English LC2 Exam!

Capital Letters and Punctuation

09-02 and 09-07,

This week you looked at using capital letters and punctuation correctly. Please remember the importance of punctuation and capital letters at all times, even more so when you are writing your task for your LC2 Exam.

We are going to continue working on punctuation and capital letters this week in the context of description, using the present simple tense, so remember what we learnt in class about when we use capital letters and punctuation and be prepared!

Different Ways of Reading

09-02 and 09-07,

This week you learnt about different ways of reading: skimming, scanning and intensive/study reading.

Remember to use all these different ways of reading for school, especially intensive/study reading when you're preparing for your quizzes and exams.

Grades 09-02 and 09-07,

Please remember to go over Units 4 and 5 from your New Headway Plus Student Book and Workbook in preparation for your LC2 Exam and any possible drop quiz that you may have this week.

Busy Week!!

Dear 9.05 and 9.10,

Excellent job on creating surveys, collecting data and analyzing your results. Please remember to submit your graph analysis along with two other writing samples to “Google Documents”. The link is on the right side of this page! ☺

This week we have our mid-cycle quizzes, therefore, take some time to study units four and five. If you have any questions please ask me during class time. Also, don’t forget to do your online homework. This week you can only take it once!

Study for your mid-cycle quiz!

09-02 and 09-07,

Well done today: you worked well in pairs, writing conversations to give directions.

Remember, today you were assigned your mid-cycle quiz for the end of the week. So, study all your notes in your notebook, the material in your student book and workbook and all the handouts and worksheets. Note down any questions you want to ask me so we can go over them in class.

Have a good week!

Ms. Lara
