Reviewers: do exercises b-c-d
Off-we-go! : write a short paragraph for question -e. Think of the following elements: what concrete actions did the parents do? What motivated their choices? What can they have offered instead of technology? (Use as much vocabulary and as many structures as possible)

Follow the link to practice repeating your speech.
Remember: stress the same words as the model, and respect the pauses.
Use your ‘English is Music’ worksheet to do further work on sounds /e/ and /ei/ just like we did in class.
BONUS for the BRAVEST: if you’re interested, you can watch the speech you’re working on. It is at the very beginning of Dead Poets Society (it lasts about 3 mins)
This is to prepare the lesson of Friday, October 2nd.
You should use your Welcome to Welton Academy worksheet to do this.
Use the online dictionary for English learners and check the stress placement for the words in your worksheet.
Here is an example for you:
The three dots indicate the number of syllables. The blue dot means that the syllable is stressed. Here, for the word gentleman: the first syllable is stressed.
Do the same with all the words, and practice reapeating them with the help of the recording
In this class, you will practice repeating the speech aloud with the correct prononciation.
This is to prepare the lesson for Thursday, October 1st.
We are going to discuss a school called Welton Academy.
First, you have to learn vocabulary about this school.
Then, watch the trailer for the film Dead Poet’s Society. Don’t hesitate to use the subtitles for help!
Dear students,
for Tuesday, you have oral work to do:
You must record yourself and I will take 3 mp3 players at random to mark you.
You also have to keep working on the sounds of English
Sound /u/
and /ʌ / (as in love!)
Today, you are doing two different activities.
There’s is a listening comprehension document where a girl describes her high school in the US. Listen to it as many times as you want and fill in the grid.
There is oral expression with me to discuss what it means for you to be in high school. Make the most of this opportunity to speak in small groups, it really is the key to improvement!
Dear students,
well done for your first test: you all made a real effort at speaking English! If you haven’t sent me your recordings, please do do asap (As Soon As Possible!)
