February Week One

We are continuing online this week and have added more activities to our calendar!  In addition to our yoga class this Sunday February 7th at 18, I am offering an online fermentation workshop on Friday February 12th at 19:00 which is open to the general public.  Email me to sign up for events!

Now, on to the homework.  This week we talked about news, newspapers, and headlines as the basis of our conversation.

Listening:
Learners can try listening to some news adapted for English learners, such as VOA News which is updated regularly or BBC Learning English News Review.

For original version listening, try some content from National Public Radio, the BBC, or The Guardian.

Reading:
Learners can try reading news online using Breaking News English which as numerous articles available to read and listen to at a variety of levels.

For original version, try online news outlets titans such as BBC, New York Times .For Spanish news, El País has an English edition.

Writing:
This week, please choose one section of the newspaper (front page, police blotter, obituaries) and write an article for that section. Be careful crafting the headline, as we saw in class that many times they omit some verbs, articles, etcetera.

Best,
Kelly
