Advanced Lab Assignment, Week 2

Task 1: 

• Create a blog using blogger.com and then send an email to hannahkovacs@csinow.com with a link to your blog (just copy and paste the URL fro the address bar into the email and send it to me). 
• If you already have a Blogger blog that you use *just for ESL Academy,* you can use that instead, but still send an email to hannahkovacs@csinow.com with a link to your blog.
• If you have trouble creating a blog, go to Blogger's setup guide here.
• If you are still having trouble, please email me and tell me the specific problem (and paste in any error messages you received)

Task 2: 

• Make a blog post on the following topic. 
• If you cannot access your blog for some reason, write the post as an email and send it to hannahkovacs@csinow.edu.

BLOG POST TOPIC: Write three paragraphs (at least 4 sentences each) each describing a wish you have. You could write one for your city, one for your country, and one for the world, or they could all be things you wish for yourself. Use the conditional forms we practiced in class.

• Example paragraph: I wish there were more hours in the day. There's never enough time for me to finish all the things I want and need to do. If there were a few more hours in the day, I would be less tired and more energetic. I would get more sleep, and I would sleep better if I knew I had finished everything I had planned. 

Task 3:

• Watch the trailer for the Hunger Games movie here, and then in a new blog post write your responses to the questions below:

1. As you watch the clip, think of 5 feelings that you would feel if you were in Katniss’ situation. Then write 5 sentences: Use the form “If…. , then….”  
• Ex:  If I were in the Hunger Games, then I would be scared.
2. What if you were in a survival situation like Katniss?  If you had to choose 3 things to help you survive in the wilderness what would they be and why?  Write a short paragraph (at least 5 sentences) using the unreal conditional form giving clear descriptions and reasons.

Task 4:

• Register with Free Rice  so you can keep track of how much rice you've donated by practicing English vocabulary words.
• Once you have registered, please complete the first level (60 vocab words correct). 
• Once you have gotten 60 vocab words correct, you can keep going with Free Rice or use the rest of your lab time for extra practice with Tell Me More, American Speech Sounds, and the ESL websites listed on the right-hand side of this blog.

Thanks everyone :)

Remember that Monday the 20th is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we won't have class. So have a great week, and I'll see you next Wednesday!
