This week - Follow up to Unit 1

Hello,
Last week we finished Unit 1 and, in most cases, we finished very well with some brilliant sketches and performances :-)
Follow up to this unit includes some attention on how to write a biography, since this has been optional work so far.
You’ll be reading Amartya Sen’s autobiography and we’ll study some of the techniques used to write biographies. Here is an extract of the text AND KEY and some exercises. Bring it to class.
The results of the tests, on the other hand, show me that we should give more attention to grammar in class and some consolidation is needed. So we will be doing some exercises and I urge you bring your doubts to class. If you don’t try on your own ...
We will focus on:
o Clauses – Linking words.
o Reported Speech

Please bring the worksheets on these topics that I gave to your class representative a few weeks ago. You will also need to bring this text, which is an extract of the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I hope you enjoy it.
