possible in the planner which you can check out the present version on the blog.
We are too many to do the planner together but all comments and
suggestions to improve the course are welcome.
I want to get your letters now. Only a few people sent them to me
digitally.
The deadline was today! If I don't have them sent by Sunday evening 6 p.m. then maybe you have chosen the wrong course!!!!
To give you some info about next week.
On Monday we will start off with an ice-breaker.
After that you will work with the materials below.
1. Your area of studies. Click on the following link to see the
areas of study available for the Swedish high school.
Click on your study area and using the translation into English
make a wordlist of key words for your study area with translation.
Be prepared to tell Mike orally about your studies next Friday.
By using the link to the Topic page choose a TED Talk related to
your area of study. I want you to write a brief summary of you talk
and in small groups on Friday be prepared to present some
information about it. You will show the first couple of minutes of
the talk to a small group of students. Make sure you have a
computer with you.
Now let's get back to today.
We will be having a traditional kind of class with a:
a)listening exercise
b)reading exercise
c)speaking/ discussion
d) writing a short narrative
a) We will start off by listening to Arthur Cain dscribing the world
he grew up in. The sound file is available here for the first part.As
we listen please answer the questions either on paper or on your
computer.
The second part is here
Arthur is from Scotland and speaks with a characteristic Scottish accent.
b)A completely different accent would be the one used by Bill
Sprockett. You can listen to a little section here. But this is a
reading task and not just listening.
c) The speaking task is divided into two parts. First of all with your
neighbour discuss this story. How would you describe Bill
Sprockett's lifestyle?
Secondly do the speaking exercise on page 14/15 in groups of 4
d) Stereotypes and expectations
What stereotypes of Australia are in this text? What is "typical"
Australian?
Compare with Sweden... What is typically Swedish?
Finally a reflection about "Expectations".
What expectations are placed on you? Studies? Sports? Life choices?
