November Week Three


​This week we discussed sleep and many topics around sleep: insomnia, dream interpretation, sleeping in on the weekend.

Listening:
This week learners can try an activity from British English called A Good Night's Sleep. or fromRandall's Listening Lab> Sleeping Problem.

For original version try something from one of my favorite podcasts, Radiolab: Sleep, When Sleep is a Battlefield, Sleep Deprivation. 

Reading:
Learners 
can an article from ESL Voices: Sleep, orBreaking News English: Sleep.

For original version try A Sociology of The Smartphone, Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation? or How App Developers Keep Us Addicted..

​Writing:
This week respond to one of the following creative writing prompts:
1. You have been tossing and turning all night and you can't seem to go to sleep. You go over to your desk and begin writing your insomniac thoughts in a stream of consciousness style. Detail that account and everything that's going on around you.
2. Talk about the first time you had to sleep in bed with someone else. Whether it be a sibling you had to share a bed with, a significant other, or just an awkward situation. How did you adjust to having someone else in there with you? If it wasn't a big deal, imagine that it was for you or the other person and run with it.
3. Discuss a recurring dream that you've had at some point in your life. Did you ever figure out the meaning? Write out all the details you can think of about the dream and then write out the possible meanings for it.
4. You have a big test the next day and you can't fall asleep because of the noises coming from the next door neighbors. Talk about your frustration, your walk over there, and the results that occur.
5. Sleep deprivation. It happened during school and it still happens in life. Talk about your attempts to survive on very little sleep and how effective they were/are.
6. Detail a day in which you've decided to stay in bed from top to bottom. You on and off sleep the entire time, waking to little interesting scenes of other people in the house with you. Talk about this crazy, lazy day.

Best,
Kelly
