EF6 8:30 March10

 

Good morning, everyone.

We will get started at 8:30.

 

 

Today’s agenda

 

1.    Continue with adjective clauses

 

The internet connection at the school is still unstable. The voice and video quality may be less than optimal.

Some people are having trouble hearing me.

 

 

This week: Quiz#5-adj cl Thursday

Test#3- paragraph Friday

 

 

 

***

Spring Break is from March 15-26. We are back on Monday, March 29.

***

On Monday, March 29, I will be giving out midterm reports. You will need this report from me in order to register for the next term: April-June.

We will not have a class together on Monday, March 29.

You can email me anytime between 8:30-10:45 on March 29, and I will email you back your midterm average (%) and my recommendation as to whether you should register for the next level or stay at this level.

Your midterm average will be based on the quizzes and tests we have done so far.

The pass mark for the class is 50%. That’s true for all of BC schools.

The minimum average for early recommendation (midterm recommendation) is 65%.

Our English department policy is anyone who is getting below 65% is probably not ready to move on.

***

 

 

You can figure out your own average

Quiz 1,2,3,4         x/3

Test1,2                 x/6

 

*Scenario 1:

1/3    2/3    2.5/3           3/3

4/6    2/6

 

x\y  14.5/24  = 60.4%

NO EARLY RECOMMENDATION

 

*Scenario 2:

1.8/3           2/3    2/3    2.2/3

4.5/6           4/6

 

16.5/24 = 68.8%

EARLY RECOMMENDATION

 

 

We will do a optional makeup quiz after Spring Break. You will have an opportunity to replace one of your quiz marks with a new quiz mark.

For example:

*Scenario 1

Quiz1          2/3

Quiz2          3/3

Q3               1/3

Q4               0/3 (late) 2/3

Q5               2.5/3

 

Replacement quiz- You choose which quiz you would like to replace. e.g. Quiz4

You do another quiz, and then the mark will replace the old one.

Replacement quiz 2/3

 

Scenario2

Quiz1          3/3

Quiz2          3/3

Q3               2.5/3 1/3

Q4               2.8/3

Q5               2.5/3

 

Replacement quiz- You choose which quiz you would like to replace. e.g. Quiz3

You do another quiz, and then the mark will replace the old one.

Replacement quiz 1/3

 

 

The replacement quiz is optional. If you’re happy with your mark, don’t do the replacement quiz.

It is an opportunity, not a requirement.

 

The replacement quiz will be this after Spring Break.

 

Normally, out of a whole class, most of the students don’t do the replacement quiz. They just stick with what they have.

 

This is the time to ask questions.

 

We will do an optional replacement test after we have 5 or 6 tests done.

 

My goal is not for you to get 100%. My goal is only to offer an opportunity for people who feel like something went wrong and they want to correct it.

 

Go back and reread the notes. Ask if you don’t understand.

 

 

 

Continue with Adjective clauses

My advice is stick with ‘who’. It is easier, it sounds good, and it always works for people.

 

My advice: Forget about ‘whom’. It is not important. We have more

important things to work on.

Spring Break is from March 15-26. We are back on Monday, March 29.

On Monday, March 29, I will be giving out midterm reports. You will need this report from me in order to register for the next term: April-June.

We will not have a class together on Monday, March 29.

You email me anytime between 11:00-1:15 on March 29, and I will email you back your midterm average (%) and my recommendation as to whether you should register for the next level or stay at this level.

 

Your midterm average will be based on the quizzes and tests we have done so far. Quiz 1,2,3,4,5. Test 1,2,3.

 

The pass mark for the class is 50%. That’s true for all of BC schools.

At the end of the course, if you have 50%+, you can move up.

 

The minimum average for early recommendation (midterm recommendation) is 65%. Our English department policy is anyone who is getting below 65% is probably not ready to move on.

16.5/24 = 68.8%

EARLY RECOMMENDATION

 

 

We might do a makeup (replacement, redo) quiz or test later in the course.

 

This will be a midterm report. We still have four weeks left to learn, do tests and quizzes, and get better.

My question: “Are you ready to succeed in the next level?”

 

 

 

Discussion from my other class:

 

Classroom learning can only teach you so much.

You have to get and live in English some. You have become familiar with real English.

 

I practice my guitar every day.

Practicing is not the same as playing music with people.

For me, playing music in a group with real people is 10X as useful as practicing by myself.

Both are important, but playing in a group is much more important than practicing by yourself.

In the same way, studying more grammar books is not going to help you as much as actually putting yourself in situations where you must communicate with other humans in English.

Are you afraid of that?

Are you nervous around English speakers?

Are you afraid of people who are different than you?

If yes, be brave and do it anyway.

 

 

 

Test#2

“Write a paragraph about a funny thing that happened when you were a kid.”

 

(100-150 words)

 

 

fun/funny – different meanings

fun- enjoyable “Hiking is fun.”

funny- humourous, laughing         “My aunt does funny impressions of other family members.”

 

“The movie was funny. We were all laughing.”

“Our English class is fun sometimes.”

* writing a paragraph – begin with a topic sentence

 

TOPIC:        “Write about a funny thing that happened when you were a

kid.”

 

Topic sentence (TS) – address the topic directly

 

          I remember a very funny thing that happened when I was a kid.

* writing sentences – SIMPLE COMPOUND COMPLEX

Sometimes when students are writing paragraphs, they get carried away and the sentences go out the window.

 

Practice! You have to practice your sentences.

You can’t learn to write sentences by listening to me talk.

 

Practice and you will improve.

Don’t practice and stay the same.

 

It’s up to you. It’s your choice.

 

FOR SOME: The sentences that you are writing in your paragraphs are

not the sentences that we have been practicing in class.

 

You have to change if you want to get better.

 

The internet at the school is not good today.

 

Did you hear any of what I just said? You got the idea.

English Foundations 7 and English 10 is the same course.

English Foundations 7 is for people who already finished high school anywhere in the world.

Review Test#2 paragraph

confusion about vocab: fun/funny

fun – enjoyable “The party was fun.” “Hiking is fun.”

funny- humourous, laugh “The movie was funny. We laughed a lot. “My uncle is a very funny guy.”

 

-topic sentence -on topic

You must begin with a TS that is one topic.

Example of TS that did not work:

 

TOPIC: “Write about a funny thing that happened when you were a kid.”

“I did a lot of things when I was a kid. Here are six of them.” XXX

 

“I has no funny things happen to me when I was a kid. Instead, I will tell you how miserable we all were.” XXX

 

“My grandparents had a farm when I was a kid.” XXX

 

“When I was a kid, I liked to go fishing.”

 

Begin with a topic sentence:

e.g.

TOPIC: “Write about a funny thing that happened when you were a kid.”

          I remember a funny thing that happened when I was in Grade 2. I forgot to wear my shoes when I went to school. I wore my slippers instead.....

 

          I had a lot of funny things that happened when I was a kid. The funniest thing was when we pretended that we couldn’t hear or see my little brother.

 

If you don’t answer the question, you will not get a good result.

 

 

- sentences – frameworks that you should follow

When students write paragraphs, they sometimes forget about the sentences.

SIMPLE, COMPOUND, COMPLEX

 

Writing in simple sentences are a good start. Compound sentences are a small jump from simple sentences.

 

, SOBA ;

TRUTH:      You have to practice. You are not practicing. If English is

important to you, you have to practice. You have to put in the hours- start today! Make a change! Do the work and it will better. Don’t do the work, and you will remain frustrated.

 

It’s in your hands: practicing or not practicing is up to you.
