December Week Two

This week we used a recording of my friends Brendan and Carrie and talked about their amazing adventure crossing the Atlantic.  You can check out their website and instagram.  Long live SV Creeky! 

Listening:
Learners can try an activity called Remembering a Life or the Great Ship Adventure. For something a little harder, try A Survival Story listening comprehension exercise.

For original version watch a video about a family that is sailing around the world or an excerpt from This American Life called When May Day Comes in April.

Reading:
For learners, try a short text about Sailing from the British Council or about a teenager who broke the world sailing record.

For original version, read the article from the New York Times entitled 2 Tots, a Sailboat and a Storm Over Parenting or an article about Greta Thunberberg crossing the Atlantic.

​Writing:
This week for writing please write an article detailing the adventure of the SV Creeky. Or write a creative poem about their trip!

To practice vocabulary, write a shopping list for provisioning.

Best,
Kelly
