2) You need to type up your paragraph that you wrote in class on Wednesday. When you finish, you can email it to me: english4work@yahoo.com or print it out.

3) You can work on modals of obligation and other modal forms. You can use the Focus on Grammar program, Intermediate level and search for modal lessons, which I will put on the board, too.

4) You can use the website links on the right side of this page for additional lessons on modals. Also, you might want to study the passive voice.

5) Also, we are going to do class projects on Mysteries! You can work with a partner and find a mystery that you want to research, create a poster presentation and share it with the class.

Yay! It's almost the weekend!!!
