Week 15 RW Past tense

This week we concentrated mainly on past tense. Recalling our weekend events, looking at grammar skill building and looking at a short clip of media to describe what happened.  During the course of working out and remembering to correct our mistakes students wrote on past events. Then after seeing the teacher as they progressed through the assignment, they hopefully saw their errors and learned from them as they continued to write.  As you can see, the first day of this assignment the student completed it only part way (corrected in red), when he had extra time the next day in class he finished it making fewer mistakes (corrected in green), therefor showing progress in his learning of the past tense.

Time Exercises

This is a pic of a time exercise.  Students asked each other the time and wrote their answers.  Students also wrote sentences for questions about time as indicated by questions 1-7.
