Enjoy your summer holiday! See you in October!

Hi my lovely and sweet students,

Today we watched a very inspiring and interesting video called "The Conditioned". We wrote the initial story by looking at the two pics of Raimundo. Than we described the characters and discussed the video, Raimundo's poem and then wrote about the the story from Raimundo's perspective.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for the exam/results and see you all on June 24 at GigaIh Party, if not wish you all a great summer holiday!

PS: my address or the photos is silviasgiga@gmail.com.

Baciiiii,
Silvia

Homework for June 11

Hello everyone,

In our last lesson we checked the second mock 2 for Benedetta and Andrea M. Then we did a revision game with relative clauses - defining and non-defining and afterwards we worked on reported speech and commands p. 108-109 ex. 1-8.

For Thursday choose 1 situation from ex. 7 p. 109 and write a complete story in reported speech - use 100 words. Please also continue Vocab and grammar review Unit 11-12.

On Thursday I will not be at school, as I have an exam - an Italian language exam - CILS. So wish me good luck! Mirko will replace me.

See you next Monday - June 15 is our last lesson - we'll say goodbye before the summer!

Bye for now,
Silvia (❛‿❛✿̶̥̥)

Homework for June 1

Hello everyone,

Today we did plenty of practice of Speaking Part 4 from p. 104 and then we listened to Avril Lavigne's song Sk8er Boi in order for you to learn phrasal verbs and idioms in English.

For next time please do the Test I gave you in class last time and start working on Unit 11 exercises from your workbooks. Do as much as you can, I know you have many things to do as we are approaching the end of the school year, but still remember that some of you have an exam to take.

Have a good weekend!

PS: on Monday we are going to do the Listening Mock in class and you will receive the Reading and Writing for home.
