Letter (Decline and Fall activity)


Dear Arthur Potts,
Thanks for writing, everything is fine here. The other teachers are very kind with me and treat me very well.
You want to know about my teaching experience? The first day, students bothered me and not let me do classes, but at the end of the week, was every fine. When I wished to read or write letters, boys did not disturbed me; when I decided it was time to talked to them about lessons, they remained silent. Also, I’m doing organ lessons to a boy; he strives for leverage the money his mom paid.
Also, I was thinking about the money of Digby-Vane-Trumpington. Tell to him that I don’t want it, because I am a gentleman, I can’t help it, it’s in my blood, I simply can’t take that money, it would be a betrayal of everything I believe in.
                                    Yours,
           Paul Pennyfeather.

Fifth week

  This week, we worked on worksheets of sentences. One was of how to build correctly ordered sentences in english, and the other was of exercises of this.
  We saw that in a normal sentence, the subject comes directly in front of the verb, and the direct object comes directly after it. We also saw that sentences are divided into subject and predicate, the subject shows who did the action, while the predicate tells us the action taken.
  Finally we did an activity, in groups, to improve this.

Fourth week


   Last monday, we worked in a guide of Simple and Compound Sentences.
   On wednesday, we talked a little about chapters three and four of the book "Decline and Fall", and we did an activity of writing events that show the context of the book.
   Finally, on thursday we studied a guide of the Oral Exponents, to have a more formal and convincing language in a debate. Then we did a game, in which we did mini debates while we were recorded with the computer; to revise our body language.
   I liked doing the activity of mini debates because I could improve my body language in a fun way.
