Congratulations, you're finished!
After you've finished making your Google Slides presentation, I'd like you to spend the rest of the lesson researching information about your reader.
You can start making your presentation today, or if you like you can just take notes in your notebook.
In your presentation. you can talk about these things:
Title: What is your book called? What does it mean?
Author: Who wrote the book? When did they write it?
Characters: Who are the most important characters in the book? What are their personalities? What do they look like? How are they related to other characters in the book?
Plot: What are the important events in the story? How does the book end?
Opinion: What did you like about the book? What did you dislike? Would you recommend this book to someone else?
Remember, you will use Google Slides in the background for your presentation. You can show pictures, videos, animations, and more to make your presentation more interesting! Think about how you can use visual aids to help your presentation.
This week, we're going to look at the topic of happiness. What exactly is happiness anyway, and how can we 'be happy'?
First, I'd like you to take this online questionnaire about happiness. There are 29 questions, so take your time when answering. When you have finished, click "Submit" and look at your score.
Once you have your score, I'd like you to read the information at the bottom of the quiz and think about why you got this score. Is there perhaps something you could do differently in your life? Or, if you are already happy, how would you help somebody else to feel better about themselves?
First, please play the Word 2 Word game at this address. It's the second game on the page. After you have finished, please write down your success rate and your time:
Next lesson, we are going to look at infinitives. Check what you know already with these quizzes: click here for the 1st quiz, and click here for the 2nd quiz.
'How to'
We often use 'How to' guides to help us do new or difficult things. Please read this 'How to' article about giving good speeches, then answer this quiz about the information.
Dating Advice
Lastly, you're going to write advice for someone going on a first date. Give five pieces of advice (e.g. You need to.../You should.../Make sure you...), and don't forget to say why.
e.g.: 1) You should try to show up on time. If you're late, then your date might think that you don't really care about them.
To write your dating advice, please sign-in to your Gmail account and leave a comment on this post. Cheers!
My New Year's resolutionis to go to bed earlier than before! I chose this resolution because I am a night owl and I have been going to bed really late since grade 7. Last year(2016) I went to see the doctor and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Doctor told me that's because of my less sleep!
The problem is, I always play on my smart phone or laptop, surfing the internet before going to bed everyday and I usually end up sleep at 1 or 2 am almost everyday! I know that I spent too much time wasting on the social media and the internet, so I plan to control myself and set time for my smart phone and laptop. I plan to play a smart phone only 20-30 minutes before dinner and try to go to bed before 11 pm.
I've already started this plan on January 1 and still working hard on it!
I'm sure I can do it, even if I can't avoid playing on my smart phone or laptop, at least I will go to sleep early! I will make this a huge success of mine! ♥
This year my New year's resolution is do more exercise. I want to get healthy. Exercise is very important. If we do more exercise, we will be stronger. I will have to find time for exercise, because I spend a lot of my time doing homework and studying, so I don't have time to do exercise. I will do homework at school, and when I get back home I will run. I will start doing this this month. I think I'll succeed with my resolution because I want to be a healthy person.
