Tuesday, May 18

Hi, This was last week's assignment: This week is going to be easy. Next week will be more difficult. I am still trying to understand online classes; therefore, this week write a paragraph about the last time you flew on an airplane. Use at least five words from the vocabulary section called “BEFORE YOU LISTEN” on page 104 of your textbook Top Notch. At the top of the paragraph, write your English name and your email. Send it to me and I will give you a 10/10 grade, plus I will write down that you attended class. If you take a photograph of last week’s homework assignment and attach it to the email, I will give you another 10/10 grade. In the “Subject” part of the email, write “Tuesday’s Class” and your English name. My email is pcowsill@gmail.com
