November Week One


  This week we used the fantastic website Atlas Obscura to explore the world virtually.  From their website:

We are a global community of explorers, who have together created a comprehensive database of the world’s most wondrous places and foods —21,711 of them contributed by our community so far, and more every day, from a secret apartment atop the Eiffel Tower to bridges built out of living roots, from a temple shaped like a chicken to an island ruled by cats, from a fruit that tastes like chocolate pudding to a spicy chutney made out of red ants.


Listening:
Learners can try an easy activity about sightseeing tours, or one of the many activities at ESL Video aboutTravel and Adventure | ESL Video
For original version listening, try any of the wonderful videos available for viewing at Atlas Obscura:
  • These Grandmothers Are Preserving Ukraine’s Folk Music Traditions
  • How a Border Village Keeps the Memories of Divided Families Alive
  • On the Hunt for Signtronix Signs in Greater Boston
  • Meet the Man Who Built North Dakota’s Enchanted Highway

 
 Reading:
Learners can try reading

For original version, please read any of the articles over in the Stories section at Atlas Obscura.

Writing:
This week for writing, please compose your own article about a place that you feel should be included in the Atlas Obscura compendium of places of wonder.  What sets it apart? How did you discover it?

One last thing!  I am offering make up session on Friday November 13th and Friday November 20th for anyone who has missed sessions in September or October.  If you need to make up classes, please get in touch to schedule a session.

Best,
Kelly
