December 6th lesson

Dear students,

Today there is a 10-point academic word matching test. This will be similar to the one we did on November 29th. After this, please carry on with your portfolio.

I would also like to check everyone's portfolio today to see how you are getting on. Please have your portfolio ready.

Kind regards,

November 29 lesson

Dear students,

Today is the deadline in your Cornell homework, so please hand it in at the beginning of the lesson. In class, you will have two practice tests to get you ready for the two 10-point academic word list tests coming soon. You do not need to print out the files because I will be bringing copies to class.

The two prints are:

gap fill test 6

matching 1-10 A

Kind regards,

October 22 lesson

Dear students,

Today, you will do a thirty-minute reading fluency exercise which will count as 5 points toward your grade. After that, you will do the matching exercise for the last academic word sub-list, 10.pdf. If there is time today, you may carry on with your 10-article portfolio.

Note, that you no longer need to download anything from the blog, as the office will print for you. This includes sublist 10 matching above. However, please check the blog every week for announcements about homework and mini-tests.

Kind regards,

Chris Elvin
