MONDAY quiz and weekly plan

Quiz will be on Monday.

Please make sure that students have revised the vocabulary from the stories and the expressions for the MONDAY quiz. It will also contain some grammar so as to make sure that student continue to remember the grammar they should have acquired.

The rest of the week will be dedicated to verbs and verb tenses.

Thank you!


Update: I gave a practice sheet in class this morning for the student to work on in class and at home to prepare for the quiz on MONDAY. The grammar that will come up will be mainly the parts of speech as is prepared in the practice sheet. Students just need to study this practice sheet and we have covered all of these in class serveral times. All the answers are in their copybook or in the reading book. Reading comphrension is an exercise they can not learn anything but can practice, you will find a practice reading comphrehention at the very end.
