Advanced Lab Assignment Due Wednesday January 29th by 3pm

DUE WEDNESDAY 1/29 BY 3PM:

  • In an email to hannahkovacs@csinow.com, please complete the following writing assignment. After emailing your writing to me, please copy and paste it into a new blog post on your blog. 
    "Choose one location in your country where a survival school would work well. Write two paragraphs for an advertising brochure. In the first paragraph, describe the place and explain why it's a good location for the school. In the second paragraph, describe the things students do and learn."




Please complete the task above first. Then if you have not yet finished the previous assignments, you can do so now for partial credit:
Previously due:
  • Remember the hunger games trailer we watched in class, and 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.
    • Ex: If I had to choose 3 things to help me survive in the wilderness, the first one would be a knife. I would use the knife to protect myself. 
    Task 2: 
    • Edit your blog post on 3 wishes, using the corrections your peer reviewer made. If you do not have the corrections, please review your own post, check for errors, and edit it to fix them.
    • If you did not finish your post about 3 wishes, please finish it now and then comment on this blogpost (or email me) to tell me you have finished it.
    BLOG POST TOPIC FROM LAST WEEK (FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT WRITE/FINISH IT YET): 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. 
    Afterwards:
    • 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.
