Easter Homework

First of all, great work on the wiki everyone! Well done! It's really coming along nicely.

Easter Wikiwork:

i) Create an Easter page from your 'home' page. eg 'Inês's Easter Page'.

ii) THIS WEEKEND (27-29 March), write a paragraph about your plans for Easter. Remember to use the language for talking about plans:
going to
I'll probably...
I probably won't...
I might...
I'm sure I'll...
I'm sure I won't...
I'll definitely...
I definitely won't...

I've already put my Easter plans on my Easter page!

iii) On the weekend 10-12 April, write a paragraph about what you did and didn't do during the Easter holiday. Which of your plans did you do, and which didn't you do?

And have a Happy Easter!

Weekend Homework - March 6th

Two main homeworks for this weekend!

i) Answer the questions under 'More Questions on Disaster Area!' Remember, the website you need is here: http://www.fema.gov/kids/dizarea.htm

ii) Make a page on the wiki for your favourite actor or actress. Filipa has already done a very nice page, and I've done a page about my favourite actress, too. You can use the paragraph about «Macaulay Culkin on page 57 of the student's book as a model, and look at Filipa's page for ideas about what to write.

Also, do write something on 'Good Weekend Things'.

And finally, if you haven't already done it, you need to finish your 'home page' and add your 'hobby page'. Inês and Rita and Catarina P all need to work on this!
