Miss Shannon's ESL Classroom Update
Updates for October/November, 2019
English 9/10
Reader's Tips:
* Study new vocabulary for a few minutes each day. This will help you to remember the vocabulary and will make readings and homework in class much easier!
* Use your voice! Ask and answer questions in class. Talk to your classmates in English. The more you use your English, the easier it will be!
English 11
Reader's Tips:
* Students can go online to have the story read to them at http://esl-bits.net/Books/The_Great_Gatsby/ Using the website, the story is read aloud chapter-by-chapter and a slower or faster speed of speech can be chosen.
* Students can access a quick video summary of the book at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Iu29TNfkM Although the video is fast, it does give a great summary.
* Some students benefit from reading the book in their first language along with the English version of the book.
