Hi there! How are you? I'm terribly sorry for not being in touch before as I had told you in class, but I had some problems and I just could write today. Anyway, the first thing  you have to do is the following: First, do exercises 1 and 2 which are on page 50 of your student book about narrative tenses, then  check the grammar reference on page 178 section 12 and do exercises 3, 4, 5 and 6 which are on pages 50 and 51. After doing that, go to page 52 and do activity 1 about writing a short story, afterwards study the "spotlight on writing " about sequencing and do activity 3 on page 53.

If you want extra help on "narrative tenses" you can click on the following link to study a power point presentation on that topic.

Hello! I hope you have had a wonderful week. This week as you know, we will be working with the topic of a good story" and among other things that  you need to learn, you have to increase your vocabulary about "verbs of manner", yes I said verbs of manner not adverbs of manner. These verbs help us to make a more lively story. And as we are going to see a lot of things about it, we have to increase our vocabulary on ways of looking, drinking, breathing, walking, laughing. So the first thing is "ways of looking" Go to the following click, study the verbs you will find there, and with the last 7, the ones that are "verbos más descriptivos" write 7 different sentences, try to write meaningful ones, or  mini-conversations with them and give them to me on Wednesday in class. Remember, if you can´t make it on time send it to my email before 12:00 pm.

Take care and see you in class
