Announcements

1) Below is some information Ann O'Leary sent to the teachers, about testing and registration for fall classes. Please read it carefully:

Registration and Testing for Fall Classes

IF we can be at school

Outreach Center

301 Avenue of the Cities, East Moline, IL

309-796-8245

You must register and test to attend fall classes. We hope to be at school for registration and for classes. IF we cannot be at school, we will let you know what you can do.

Only 10-15 people will register at a time. We will practice social distancing when possible. Plan to wait or come back. You must wear a face mask.  No children under 18 allowed.

 

If we are full, we will ask you to wait or come back another day.

More registration dates will be added.

Registration will be at 9:00, 2:00, and 5:30. Please be on time.

July 6, 8, 13, 15

August 3, 5

If there is room in your class, you will start on Monday, August 17. If the class is full, I will call you when you can begin class.

2) Our last online class is Friday, 5/15/20. I appreciate your patience and attendance as I was learning how Zoom meetings work. I am also very happy that many of you have been practicing on Burlington English regularly. Please continue to do so this summer, for as long as you have access (you should be able to use it at least through June).

3) The answers to all class assignments through Monday, 5/11/20 (except for those on Burlington English), are now posted in the Homework Answers section.

Tuesday, May 12, 2020 Assignments for 5/13/20

Tuesday, 5/12/20--

I gave homework to the online class yesterday (Monday, 5/11), but forgot to post the assignments here for anyone who wasn't able to attend the online meeting. I apologize for my lateness.

Assignments (due Wednesday, May 13) *

*    Since I didn't post the following assignments until today, you don't have to send your work to me by Wednesday. We will go over the answers in class, and then I will post them on the blog.

1) Future English 3 textbook (this finishes unit 9 for us)

p. 182--Read about reported speech at the top, do Ex. B
p. 183--practice 2 at the top of the page

2) Burlington English Lower Intermediate Core

Lesson 6--In the Workplace: section 4 on reported commands and requests

Doing this section on BE will give you further practice on reported speech.

3) Future English 3 textbook--Unit 10: pp. 186-187--Vocabulary for doctor and hospital visits

• p. 186, Ex. B

Review the vocabulary in the yellow box (places in a hospital). Look up any of these words you do not know. Then try to match the numbers of the pictures with the vocabulary.


     For example, picture #1 (with the babies) matches with maternity ward (where mothers have their babies), so put #1 in the blank in front of that term.

• p. 187, Practice 2

On p. 187, look at the telephone numbers (these are extensions, the last part of a phone number) for the different departments in a hospital. Then do practice 2--fill in the blank with the number of the department you would call in each situation.

4) Future English 3 workbook--Unit 10: pp. 110-111

• p. 110--Label each picture with one of the words in the box.
