Week 3

My daughter took this photo of the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship last Tuesday. while it was docked at Circular Quay. Good special effects?

G'day all

I'm delighted that you managed to get so much done without me last Monday. Thank you all for helping each other! We'll get stuck into adding links and pictures today if you haven't already done so!

Thanks for posting comments at the end of last week's post. It was good to read them all! Remember that you don't usually write comments on your own blog!

I'm sorry that the link to Patricia's podcast didn't work last week. I'm working on questions to go with another podcast and I'll post it next week probably.

Last Thursday, Luisa, one of the TAFE counsellors came to talk to the students from AMEP-A and B.  Open this link, print off the worksheet and then listen to the podcast and answer the questions. This will be especially useful for the students who don't attend on Thursdays and missed the talk.
You can write the summary for homework and hand it in next Monday.

When you finish that work you can write a recount of how you spent your weekend. You can copy your draft to word and then email it to me to correct it. You can then publish the final copy. Remember that a recount has an orientation (this tells the reader who, why, when, where and/or what) It really orients the reader to the text. After that you have a series of events in the past tense (usually the simple past). You can add some personal comment about the events and at the end there is an optional coda. For example....I was tired but we had a good day!

Happy blogging!
