Reading Passport and Formative 2

Dear Students,

Please be informed:

One a half semester has passed. I would like to remind you not to forget reading books and writing your Reading Passport. You have to read 4 English books and 6 Indonesian books. You are free to choose any English book you like, but I do not recommend you to read a comic. The report (Reading Passport) of the English books must be submitted before the 22nd of April 2009. It will be counted as a part of your daily score.

On the last week of April, we are planning to have a trip to Jogyakarta. During the trip, you will have some assignments to do individually that -later on- will be counted as you Formative 2 score. Please make sure that you do it well with your high pride.

Regards,
Mrs. Rizka Widayati

Welcome in the 2nd Semester

Dear my lovely grade 7 students,

I welcome you in our 2nd semester! I'm sorry for greeting you late (the internet connection is not good enough, you know that already! ;) )

On the 1st and 3nd week, we will work on descriptive text. We have discussed it on 1st semester, so you have known already the purpose and the structure of a descriptive text.

But, let me remind you!
The purpose of a descriptive text is to describe a particular thing, place, or a person.
The structure contains an identification and a description. In the identification, you identify the thing being described. While, in the description, you tell the details, the specification and characteristics of the thing being described.

You will do a monologue and dialogue activities.

1st -2nd week: Our topic is "A Hotel". You will learn some vocabularies related to a hotel. You will have to find or draw a hotel, pretend you know very well of the hotel and try to describe it vividly. You will have to speak in front of the class, presenting your picture. Later you will write your description.

2nd- 3rd week: Our topic is "I lost my purse!". Here, you learn some vocabularies in describing things. You learn some expressions in asking someone to describe something, and expressions in giving description. You will work with a partner and conduct a role play (conversation) in front of the class. Later you will make a display on things being described.

Well, I have to go now. Time for teaching. 7N is waiting for me :)

I'll continue on the next post.

Ciao!
Ms. Rizka Widayati
