Hi Class!

Your first assignment today is to research information about an interesting mystery and you will later make a poster about this mystery. Work with your team. Assign duties for each member. This is a fun project, so have fun and be sure to use the grammar that we have learned in class - past modals.
You will present your "mystery" posters next week.

Below are some links about mysteries that we have discussed that will give you more information:
- about the Mothman:

- about Betty and Barney Hill and the UFOs:

- about Bigfoot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot




- about the Loch Ness Monster aka Nessie: http://www.nessie.co.uk/

Your second assignment, if you have time, is to go to the Focus on Grammar program and find the chapter in Book 4 on Adjective Clauses. This will greatly help you understand the grammar we studied yesterday.

Ok, get to work and good luck!

Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream"


Hi Class,

Here is a link to Martin Luther King, Jr. 's "I Have a Dream" speech made at the civil rights protest, March on Washington, August 1963. This is one of the greatest speeches ever made.

It's on youtube, but it is the best audio/visual quality that I have found of the speech.
