Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

WHAT WE WILL LEARN THIS WEEK: 

We will continue with Unit 9 this week and get lots of practice with regular past tense verbs, use them in sentences and when we speak.  We will start practicing for our Speaking Assessment, Pt2 by showing our 3 community photographs and talking about them in small groups.

Updated Week 7 – Week 11 Schedule

Homework due on Monday: 05/18

• (This assignment is for the Speaking Assessment Part 2)

  1. Talk about 3 favorite places in your community that you always visit.  Using your cellphone, take three (3) PICTURES of community places around your neighborhood.  (your workplace, school, park, place of worship, gym, etc.)

  You will talk about these cellphone photos with a tester/teacher.  Here  are some of the important things you need to talk about during your Assessment:

  • What is the name of the place?  Where is its location?
  • Describe the place. Use “there is” and/or “there are” to talk about 3 objects in each photo
  • Use some prepositions of location (in, on, next to, in front of, in the corner of, behind)
  • How often do you go?
  • Would you recommend that other students visit this place? Why?

• Please also study for a dictation quiz — here is the handout and it is also on page 156 of your textbook.  (Quiz on Monday 05/18.

• Lastly, we have a handout from the workbook; if you were absent on Thursday – ask Irene for this page.
