Apr. 04: Famous People

Dear students,

We're back from vacations on April 25th. Please notice:

1) 2nd Parent's Meeting: 12 to 12.30 

2) Quiz #6 based on the vocabulary of this lesson: blockbuster, box office hit, cast, director, leading role, plot, soundtrack, stunt and stuntman/woman, predictable, hilarious, thriller, action-packed, achievement and other related to this lesson.

3) ATTENTION. There is no Written Homework, but I need you in turn to prepare for this class' activity based on marketing and advertising. Please, read or watch the news and keep up-to-date regarding the political (electoral) campaigns in the city. Learn about:
1.- What are the main concerns of the people?
2.- Who are the representatives? for governor? for the city's mayor?
3.- What ideas do the candidates want to share with the voters?
4.- Share opinions. Ask your relatives and discuss the information above, with them. 

With this information you are ready to think:

"If I were the City's Major (Alcalde de Monterrey) how will I solve the people's concerns? What will I propose ti improve on each of the following: Security, Investment, Health, Education, and Environment."

During class, we would make our own campaign and discuss the plans to choose among students the "School's Mayor". Bring markers, scissors, etc. anything you want to develop nice posters to support your Party and representative.


4) If you missed this class, ask someone for the definitions or look them around the net or your English Dictionary. People that missed ANY of the classes before will have the pending quizzes the same class. No excuses. STUDY!

Regards,

Jim
