Dear ESS members
Hello! It’s my honor to plan the Practice on Nov. 28th.
I’m supposed to share my experience in Canada, aren’t I?
Actually, studying in Canada as a high school student was absolutely great experience for me.
Wish I could tell you everything what I learned, found, felt, and tried in Canada!!!
Unfortunately, however, it may take me more than 2 weeks to tell you all.
So, I’d like to focus on my experience of Canadian high school English class.
The grade12 English class, like analyzing Shakespeare was totally difficult for me to join.
(You are not going to do Shakespeare, simply because I can't!!!!)
I’ve picked up a class from Dec. 7th 2014.
It was a quite interesting class for me.
Hopefully it’s gonna be an interesting practice for you as well!
Date: Nov. 28th
Genre: Reading and discussion (or Canadian high school class!)
Title: ELA30a (English Language Arts 30a) class experience
1. Make several groups as usual and I’ll give you an article.
2. In the article, “The 99 reasons why it’s better to be Canadian", you will find 99 reasons why it’s better to be Canadian than to be American. You'll have about 10-15 minutes to read through it, choose 25 favorite quotes and write reasons for 5 of them.
3. Share your opinions. Which one was your favorites and why? What did you think about the article? Do you think Canadian is better than Americans? Any opinions are welcomed!
4. Maybe there will be not much time left, but I’ll talk a little bit about my experience in Canada. Ask me whatever!! I’ll be more than happy to share my experience.
I’m really excited! Thank you so much :)
Sincerely,
Minamo
