Homework for March 3

Hey everyone,

Today we talked about Mrs. Serrano's "abnormal" (strange) family and then we read about a nine-member family! We studied new vocabulary and different types of pronouns: subject, object and reflexive.

For Monday do also exercise 12 page 144 and the two worksheets (schede) with pronouns (60 & 62).

Please finish writing the text about how Naomi (the youngest child of the family) sees her family. 
Use pronouns and some of the new vocabulary such as: to be into (something), don't mind, to get on well with (somebody), to bug (someone), messy, by yourself/myself.

Don't forget to finishing work on Practice for Key Writing Part 6, from the book page 154 (Units 1-12)

PS: for the students who didn't come to the lesson, please call your classmates and ask for the homework.

Thank you.
Bye,
S
