EF34 11:00 March11

 

 

Good morning, everybody.

We will get started at 11:00.

 

Today’s agenda:

 

1.    Review narrative writing, narrative paragraph

2.    Quiz#5 adjective clauses

 

Test#3 paragraph tomorrow

 

Two-week Spring Break – don’t forget all the English that we have learned. We forget new things quickly. We have to keep up on the practice if we want to retain the new information. Because a lot of this stuff is so new, we have to practice and refresh it in our minds until it becomes deep in our brains.

 

Monday, March 29 – we are back. However, there will be no class that day because I will be giving out midterm reports.

Email me between 11 and 1:15, and I will email you your midterm average and my recommendation for next term.

 

 

Those sentences that we practiced stuck in my head.

 

Same thing happens to me.

 

This weekend -recording guitar for three friends’ songs

The music was in my head when I was trying to go to sleep. It kept me awake.

 

Keep working. Keep thinking about it. It‘s the way that we learn.
