Please Excuse the Interruption, But Here Comes Homework!!

Unfortunately, we had two students absent from class today (we missed you, Jimena & Greta!), so we had to rearrange our class activities a bit this morning. Good thing we're all very flexible! Tonight, we'll have two completely separate sets of homework--one for the students who were in class, and one for the students who weren't. Our grammar focus was on expressing future in the past, and because it's was only introduced today, I don't think it's fair to ask our absentee students to complete an assignment based on it. Check out your homework below.

Adam, Minori, Ellie:

1) Watch this similes vs. metaphors video (just click the link) and follow the narrating teacher's directions. If you can get through the entire 8 minutes, that's great. If not, please complete just the first half.

2) Write a 1-3 paragraph blog post about something you were going to do in the past, but didn't. Use "would~" or "was/were going to~" in your writing.

3) Finish your carnival toy avatars!

Jimena & Greta

1) Finish typing the second draft of your personal narrative.

2) If you haven't already, please write your blog post about the "Do you remember? I do." prompt.

3) Finish your carnival toy avatars!

4) If you have already completed the rest of your homework, please watch the first half (4 minutes) of this similes vs. metaphors video, like the rest of the class.

Good luck!
