Moon River

I'm sorry.  We're going to try another sub.  My daddy died last weekend, and as an only child, I need to plan the funeral and try to comfort my mom.  My daddy was always very good to us.

Please come to class and talk as much as you can.  Keep studying.

"Huckleberry friend" is NOT common English. 

Write about traveling on water.  Did you enjoy it?  Where were you?  What did you do?

Hurricane!!

My mother grew up in Galveston, TX.  Her part of the family survived some really bad hurricanes.

This video is FAST, but it repeats.  Try to sing it.

Teacher GRRR alert:
There are a few mistakes in this video.  HockeyGirl 86 used the wrong "your."  When you spell "your," use it to show possession.  I like your purple polka-dotted scarf.  In this song, it should read "when you're standing in the eye of the hurricane."  Also, never use an apostrophe for "it hits me."  Just add the s for simple present with it.

Tell me a story about getting reading for a storm.  What do you need to do to get ready for a storm?

I can treat you better!

Practice a lot of stative verbs if you already have good grammar....

Only use coz for texting.  Don't use it for formal writing.  Coz=cause=because.
wanna = be want to
In this song, treat is not a yummy thing like ice cream.  Treat is also how someone behaves with another person.  She treats him very badly is good English.

Can you spot any Present Continuous verbs in this song?  What are they?

What do you like to do to treat someone well?  I like to spend time together and talk!!

This is My Now

What are you doing now?  Can you make a video similar to these examples at 2:17 or later??

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

Where will you go when you fly on a plane next?   How often do you travel?  Where do you like to go?  Are you planning any trips?

Ocean

How often do you call your long distance friends?  Do you have habits that help keep those friendships strong? 

If it won't make you sad, describe a friend that's far away.
