Summer school.
When does registration begin for summer school?
I will give midterm recommendations to everyone before the first
day of registration for summer.
It will probably be very soon.
Midterm recommendations/ Interim recommendations will be based on
the marks we have so far.
6 Quizzes
This week – Test#1 paragraph
Next week – Test#2 paragraph
The cutoff for an early registration is 65%.
You can calculate your own average.
Quizzes are worth 3 points.
Tests are worth 6 points.
SCENARIO#1
Q1 1/3
Q2 3/3
Q2b 2/3
Q3 2.5/3
Q4 2.3/3
Q5 1.7/3
T1 4/6
T2 3.6/6
Add numerators and the denominators
x/y x (numerator) y (denominator)
20.1/30 = .67 67%
Good for an early midterm
recommendation.
Pass mark is 50%. On the day of class, if you have 50%+, then you
pass.
65% is only for the early midterm recommendation.
For the summer, I am scheduled to teach English Foundations 6.
If you would like to stay in EF6 with me, you’re more than
welcome. You already know what you’re going to get. You know my teaching style,
etc.
You can decide.
EF 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
EF7 and English 10 – same class
EF7 is for people who finished high school anywhere in the world.
English 10 is for people who did not finish high school anywhere
in the world.
This is a government rule. It has to do with funding.
Normally, EF7 and English 10 are taught together.
English 11 and English 12 are regular classes with no Foundations
equivalent.
EF 6 – EF7/Eng10 – Eng11 – Eng12
If you take a break from SHEC for less than a year, you can
normally just start where you left off.
If you take a break for a couples of years, then we will probably
want to retest you.
Quiz#5
Write a sentence with
adjective clause for each.
e.g. dog that
I have a dog that is white.
1. bicycle that
Mary got a bicycle that has fat tires.
The bicycle that Mary got has fat tires.
2. John who
3. key which
4. wine that
5. shoes who
6. barbecue that
In general, EF6 students find adjective clauses to be harder
than the other clauses. They can be quite challenging.

last night.

SECRET: English speakers rarely use past perfect. We almost always
use simple past.
You can use past perfect if you want.
John had lived in Japan for two years. He left five years ago. past
perfect- grammar book
John lived in Japan for two years.
much more authentic sounding
We use present perfect all the time. I’m talking about past perfect.
John has lived in Japan for two years. He is still there.
I can teach the most common verb tenses tomorrow.
Sentence review:
SIMPLE
COMPOUND
COMPLEX
-adverb clauses
-noun clauses
-adjective clauses
These are the foundations for all of our writing.
Know them. Practice them. You will really need them.
Next steps -paragraph writing
Paragraphs in EF6- approximately 150-200 words
7-10 sentences
Structure of a paragraph
-Grabber/Hook (OPTIONAL)- attention-getter (7 ways)
-Topic sentence- gives the topic & the controlling idea **VERY
IMPORTANT**
-Supporting sentences (aim for 3-4 points)- details, evidence,
support, ‘meat’ of the paragraph
-Concluding sentence- restatement of the topic sentence
-possibly
restatement of the supporting points (more for an essay)
-
a way to close up the paragraph
Some people will already be familiar with this. For some it will
be new.
