Week 10 Monday Nov 15-20 2010

This week we finished working on the background information relevant to your work on immigration such as the different waves, different expressions for instance 'from rags to riches' , 'the land of opportunity', streets paved with gold,'' the melting pot',' ther salad bowl'. All of these and many more should be integrated and used whenever possible .

The last background work is around Ellis Island and will be covered by you all next week.

We then introduced the text On the Threshold of a NewWorld. I asked you to start preparing it for next lesson.

There was no lessson on Friday due to my absence. After you suffering with my croaky voice last Wednesday you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to understand why!
