May Week Three

 Last week we discussed different events in professional life (conferences, conventions, seminars) and in personal life (weddings, birthday parties, openings), but this week we took it a step further and imagined planning an event like this.  

Listening:
Learners can check out several listening options such as planning a party, and office party planning.

For original version listening, try a podcast from This American Life called Number One Party School.

Reading:
Learners can try an activity called My First Music Festival in France, to try to practice their reading skills.  For another one, check out the PDF: Woodstock, the Greatest Music Festival.

For original version, read a magazine article about planning a festival and having it go completely wrong: Fyre Festival: Anatomy of a Millenial Marketing Fiasco Waiting to Happen.

Writing:
This week, please write an article describing the steps to pulling off an amazing party or event!  Here are some ideas:

• surprise party
• gallery opening
• going away party
• block party
• village fiestas

Best,
Kelly
