Announcements
1. Remember to send me your vote on whether you would like to work in unit 10 or unit 11 next week.
2. I will post the answers to Wednesday (5/3/20)'s homework this weekend, in the "Homework Answers" section of this blog.
3. Our last day of class is Friday, May 15th. Because of the virus situation, the ESL program will not have any summer school classes this summer. However, Ann O'Leary will be scheduling the usual testing/registration dates, beginning in early July (more information later).
4. You will be able to use your Burlington English account at least through the end of June.
5. At this time, fall classes are scheduled to begin on Monday, August 17th. Of course, we do not yet know whether we will be able to meet back in our building. I will email you with more information when the college has made decisions about the fall semester.
6. I recently sent you a message by email about Teacher Linda, who is retiring after 25 years of teaching. If you were in Teacher Linda's class in the past, we would like to collect your memories or thank yous to give to her. Teacher Theresa is in charge of collecting them. Here is what the email said:
Assignments (due Monday, 5/11/20)
1. Future English 3 Textbook, p. 177--complete sentences in the middle of the page (#1-4)
2. Future English 3 Textbook, pp. 178-179
Read p. 178 and then do Ex. A and B
Do Ex. A on p. 179
Please send me your answers to both of the above assignments by text or email.
3. Burlington English Lower Intermediate Core
NOTE: As usual, I will be able to see what you have completed in Burlington English by looking in my teacher's account progress reports.
4. Choose a book from the "Readers" section of Burlington English. Read it and write four sentences about what you read. Tell the title and author of the story, and then tell a few things you liked (or didn't like) about the book.
Here is an example (the book I'm using is not on BE):
I read Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. My favorite person in the book is Elizabeth Bennet. She is smart and funny, and she has high standards for the person she chooses to marry. Although Mr. Darcy was rich, she wouldn't marry him until he changed his proud and insulting behavior.
This was assigned earlier in the week, but you have until Monday to send me your four sentences about what you read, by text or email.

Teacher Linda is retiring after teaching ESL at Black Hawk College for 25 years!
Please help us honor Teacher Linda. How? Write 2-3 sentences about a memory. Record yourself speaking the memory or speaking a thank you. Videos should be short because many videos will be put together to make a gift for Teacher Linda.
Here are some ideas:
I’ll always remember you because_______________.
In your class, I learned ________________________.
The best thing about your class was _______________.
Thank you for ________________________________.
Send your videos to Theresa Bries at briest@bhc.edu. Put “teacher Linda” in the subject line.
Thank you so much!
Theresa
