Ain't No Sunshine

Weather Words

"Ain't no" is not educated English, but it's common in street English.  It means "there isn't any..."

What is your favorite weather?  What makes you sad?

Love you More than Words Can Say...

Describe someone that you love.

Do you enjoy being pretty?

This video was filmed back when "gay" only meant "happy." 

Now, it usually means homosexual.

In the first video, Maria loves feeling pretty.  In the second, Miss 3rd Ward is angry at a society that values prettiness too much.  Which attitude do you like better?  Is it good to be pretty?  Do you know anybody that does crazy things to look good?

What do you wear when you want to feel handsome or pretty?  Do you think people spend too much time worrying about their appearance?  Can you give me tips on how to be pretty?

Some people convey messages when they give flowers. 

What are your favorite flowers?  What do they look like?  Do they have meaning for you?

Ok. the schedule changed again....

Olanike is going to teach Plum Intermediate in the evening, not me.  I'm sure she'll do an excellent job, but I'm sad I won't see my continuing evening students!
