Our excursion to The Rocks
 |
 |
| Customize your own free digital slideshow It's a real pity that the whole class wasn't able to share in our excursion last Wednesday. It was a beautiful sunny day and the students who came had a good time. We explored some of the significant areas of Sydney's past which help to throw light on to the places being researched for the oral presentation. I'd like to sincerely thank the students who attended and commend you on your behaviour on the day. Everyone got on well together and eagerly went where they were told and completed the activities in the Rocks Discovery Museum with enthusiasm and good humour! Thank you! |

Week 5
G'day all
I'm sorry about not posting anything last week but I just ran out of time. I also wanted you to work on researching the topic for your oral presentation so I felt it wasn't imperative to set class work for you to do. How is your research coming along?
This morning we started looking at the topic of Media. If you have time, open this link, click on Topic 8 print off the text and then open Topic 9 to see the questions. Complete the activity.
If you still have time, search for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph. Look at the front page of each. Choose a story from one paper and write a short summary of it in your blog. If you try answering the questions- who, what, when, where and why or how, you should be able to put the summary together. Remember to include the title and source. Use your own words to retell the events.
Good luck! Don't forget our excursion on Wednesday! We'll confirm tomorrow that it's happening if we see an adverse weather forecast!

Week 3
G'day all
I hope all you mothers had a lovely day yesterday and that your families spoiled you rotten! What did you do to 'celebrate' the day or what did your families do for you? Was it Mother's Day in your birth country too? Put a short comment at the end of this blog answering the above questions.
Did you enjoy working on The Big Scam last Monday? I don't think everyone has handed in the worksheets yet! I hope I get the rest of them today!
I talked last week about using PowerPoint as part of your oral presentation so today you can start practising using it! Have a look at this YouTube video explaining how to use it. If you need to get more information then have a look at some other links for help. My home internet is running very, very slowly because my daughter has been downloading a lot of shows recently so I couln't do anything on the blog at home. As a result, I couldn't access my little presentation!
When you have had a look at the tutorials, then it's time to start a little practice. Choose an Australian animal. Look up some information and pictures of it and make a little PowerPoint presentation. If you don't finish then remember to save it on a USB so you can retrieve it next week.
Good luck! Happy blogging!

Week 2

| South Cronulla |
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. The weather was lovely again wasn't it? My husband and I met some friends for breakfast in Cronulla yesterday. It was so busy because it was such a lovely morning! The sun was so bright I actually had a problem taking the photo!
Last week I tried to create a Facebook group for this class but I couldn't get anything to upload! Perhaps today I'll just get your Facebook details and try from home!
Today I'd like you to publish your recount about the holidays if you haven't already done so. Then I'd like you to go this link and complete the activity. Follow the text and you'll have no problem working out who dunnit????
If you get through that, talk to me and I'll give you something else to work on!
Have a good week and happy blogging!

Term 2, Week 1
G'day all and welcome back to term 2!
I hope you had an enjoyable break and that you managed to do a couple of fun things! Why don't you log on to your blog and write a short text about how you spent your holidays! Include any photos if you took some!
I'd like you then to think up some questions you could ask someone about their holidays. Once you're sure the grammar is correct, interview one of your classmates. Record the conversation and then upload it to your blog! We'll have to see how the internet is working today to see if we can do this from here! Always a challenge!
That's all for today. If you finish these 2 tasks then I'll direct you to something else!
Happy blogging!

Week 8
G'day all
Hard to believe that this is the last class for term 1. I hope you have good plans for the holidays! I know I have!
Today is a chance for you to catch up on any outstanding work that needs to be done as well as a little bit of fun!
Log on to VOKI and sign up! Choose an avatar and create a little story. Try to use the microphone and record your story! I wasn't too successful with the voice recording only because the name I chose was pronounced incorrectly! Have a play and see what you can create.
When you're happy with your selection, send me a comment to let me know you've posted your creation.
Now, finish off any outstanding work. Not everyone has done the research on the famous Australians on the banknotes!
If you're looking for something else to do then open Issues in English 2 from the menu selection in the Programs and choose a topic to work on!
Have an enjoyable break and try to have a bit of a break in between doing your 'homework'!
Happy blogging!
