SEPT 8 - A new Stage Begins

Dear students,

We checked the test. Some were happy with the result, some not so enthusiastic, but you all did a good job. The test is just a hint of areas that you still need to work on. Now, the second part begins and I'm sure we will still have much fun together.

I assigned the next composition. The guidelines are all on page 50, Workbook.

Remember to organize your ideas.

Paragraph 1 - introduction about crimes and repeat offenders in general
Paragraph 2 - statistics about crimes
Paragrapha 3 - causes of crimes (you have to extend the analysis of the data provided in the workbook)
Paragraph 4 - conclusion - suggestions on how the government could work this out

Use the connectors suggested in the workbook.

For next class, bring quotation and sayings related to the word FIRST

In class, we read the second part of "The Body Snatcher". For the ones who were not in class read the second part of our suspense...I'll send an email with the attachment.

See you on Tuesday.
Carla
