We really ate well at break in this class!! What were your best memories?

Aaaaaugh

Don't rush off...

We practiced several phrasal verbs today.  Phrasal verbs have two words and unique meanings from the words separately.  Drop has a different meaning from drop off.

Advanced Level Phrasal Verbs Dictionary-- study this only in small doses. You are better off talking to people or watching TV in English than you are memorizing this.

What phrasal verbs do you know?

The Cupid Shuffle

Lyrics:

The dance:

I always thought "walk it by yourself" meant dance your own way, but I like how this man "walks it out" better.  I wish I'd seen the dance tutorial before I taught the dance!  I'm often surprised at what we can find on youtube now.

Do you like to dance?  What kind of dancing do you do?  Do you know any dances you can teach the class during the party on Thursday?

It's been a long day without you....

My AM class had a long day -- that reading test makes people tired.  I miss my PM class.  We often say we had a long day when stressful things happen.  How was your day today?

December 7

Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the USA.  The USA began fighting in World War II because Hawaii was bombed by Japan.

I haven't seen the movie that goes with the next video.  Have you?

For me, December 7 is the day that lives in infamy, but people from other places think of other things.

Sylvia said that December 7 is "Candle Day" in Colombia.  People get the day off work,  Everyone in the family lights a candle, and you can see many beautiful candles in the neighborhood.  In the Catholic church, people celebrate the Virgin Mary's conception on December 7.

Do you like to study history?   What past times are the most interesting for you? 

Are there dates that your country commemorates?
