Change your mindset

Change your words. Change your mindset!

I recently put this up at the back of the classroom, and I really hope that you will begin to think like what it says on the coloured papers. Good work takes time and effort!

"We all have dreams, but in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." - Jesse Owens (American track and field athlete)

As you've previously been informed, the class will deliever the speeches on Monday the 12th and Monday the 19th. The class has been devided in two, and while half the class is with me listening to and delivering the speeches, the other half will be with Henrietta in classroom 1:2 (the old English classroom) and practice for the National tests in English.

The group are as follows:

Monday 12/10 - group 1                            Monday 19/10 - group 2
Michelle                                                            Axel
Benjamin                                                           Carl
Jacob T                                                              Ulf
Joel N                                                                Astrid  
Ida                                                                     Melissa
Kevin                                                                 Ebba
Oscar                                                                 Joel G

Essie                                                                  Maja
Desirée

However, everyone should be prepared for tomorrow! If anyone from the first group is off school/sick someone from the second group will have to fill that spot.

We'll all meet in room 2:4 at 10:30 to check attendance, before group 2 leaves with Henrietta.

At the airport -Unit 2

Watch the film in preparation for making your own check-in dialogue. You only need to watch the first minute and a half (1.30), but it is to your advantage to watch the whole film.

Test your vocabulary

Just for fun, test your vocabulary! But remember, only check the box for the words you know at least one definition for. See if you can beat my score. I will reveal it to you in class.
