Lesson 19

Today, it's time for chapter 2 in our book: 

The Pelican Brief

So far, 4 people have been murdered. Two of them were Supreme Court judges who had FBI protecting them day and night. 
Khamel, the most feared killer in the world was paid more than ten million dollars to kill the judges. But by who?

Let's start with the trailer from the movie before we continue reading the book.

Now, let's read chapter two together....

Lesson 18

Now it's time for us to read some fiction. I've found a website where we can read e-books for free. 

I've chosen a book to read together. The book I've chosen is...

The Pelican Brief

By John Grisham 

You have to sign up before you can open the book. Then you're able to both read and listen to it! Today I want you to read on your computers while I play the audio file.

If there are words that you don't understand while reading and listening... 

...use Linguarana:

Linguarana translates the word that you double click on, and you can choose to listen to how it's pronounciated. 

Lesson 17

Today...
... let's continue with the exercise we did during our last lesson -i.e. preparing for the national test next week!

But before that...

...here's today's warm up:

Let's see who knows the most idioms and linking words, by playing some cards where the explanation is on one side and the idiom is on the other side...

All the idioms (and some linking words) can be found on Hanna's English planning at Balder or here: linking words, idioms 1, idioms 2, idioms 3.

Lesson 16

Warmup...

Listen to Neewsreel - News from the Englishspeaking world...


Today, we're going to prepare for the national test next week. 

We are going to practice at an authentic situation by using former tests that are now available for students in order to get used to the testsituation.

Here's the link to the test if you want to have another go at home...
