Hello,

At the beginning of class today we discussed the "fake news" reports you wrote for homework. Thank you for the interesting ideas. 

In the next part of class, we practiced the eight parts of speech and learned some funny new words that we'll play with tomorrow. We also talked about some of the US Customary Units of length and practiced converting them to units in the Metric system. 

We also read and discussed a text containing some typical colloquial features.

For homework, please (1) study the Parts of Speech 2 PDF, (2) read the text in the Small Talk - features PDF again, and (3) identify examples  in the text of each one of the four colloquial features we discussed.

Have a great evening!We also read and discussed a text containing some typical small-talk/colloquial features.
