October 8th

In this class we had to give the report of the book "A Matter of Chance" to the teacher, besides the teacher brought the last round of questions about the same book.

When the teacher arrived, he gave us some minutes to finish the report, to check if everything is okay. In my case I worked on chapter 14 named "Escape" where it narrates when Paul and Sandra escaped from the farmhouse; it was captivating.

After have given the report, the teacher gave us the last round of questions about the book, it will be quite helpful since these questions will be on the quiz next class, so we have to give our best. As usual, we read the answer out loud to check them all.

After have answered these questions, the teacher made the analysis of the book with the elements of fiction we previously learned. After his explanation, he reminded us that On Friday 11th, we will have the exam of the book, so let's get ready.

GOOD LUCK IN THE QUIZ GUYS. 

Last round of questions. 

October 4th

In this class, we continued to answer other questions about "A Matter of Chance". We were given by some questions about the second part of the book; they were easy to be honest maybe because I had finished reading the book, and I start reading again just simply because I loved this book. Then, we discussed the answer out loud with the whole class in order to check them all.
In the second hour of the class, we did like a summary of the first eight chapter of the book. I was a chart where we had to write down the character that appeared in the chapter, the unknow vocabulary, the places where the actions took place, and a short summary.
I think this is an evaluated activity (don't tell anyone), so I tried to give my best in order to get a great grade. Next class the teacher will bring the last questionaire of the book and we will finish the summaries, so I should better get ready. SEE YOU NEXT CLASS.

Second round of questions. 

October 1st

I couldn't attend to class since I was feeling kind of sick, but my friend Fabiola told me everything she learned that day. The teacher explained the elements of the fiction which are the plot, setting, character, conflict, symbol and point of view.

After having explained the elements of fiction, the teacher gave everybody a piece of paper containing some questions about the new book we are reading that is called "A Matter of Chance". 

I'm loving this book so far; it feels somehow outstanding because you want to keep reading until you find out what's really going out in the story. Besides, teacher Orlando announced that the quiz of the book will take place on Friday 11th, October. I'll keep reading tough. 

  

I'M REALY SORRY I COUNDN'T GET SOME PHOTOS. 

September 27th

On friday 27th, we didn't have classes since teacher had a meeting. In order to take advantage of that, I started reading the new book called "A Matter of Chance" which sounds quite captivating. See you next class and enjoy your reading my friends.

September 25th

In this class, we continued with the discussion of the second part of book "Notes from Underground". Everybody was supossed to be ready to explain their chapters, I was kind of relaxed because I had already presented my chapter in the previous class. I was paying special attention to my classmates' responses and trying to participate by giving some opinions. In short, this book was really tough to comprehen, but I love the plot of the story since somehow is realted with my life. We'll start reading a brand new book, I hope I would be easier to understand.

My classmates getting ready to present their chapters. 

September 20th

On friday 20th, we didn't have class, but we had an assignment. We were supposed to watch three videos regarding the book we are currently reading called "Notes from Undergroud" and answer some questions in the post teacher Orlando posted in our Facebook group.

Posted by our teacher. 

September 17th

As I mention in the last entry, We had an activity about Notes from the Underground. Teacher Orlando assigned us a chapter per couple and in some cases trios.
What we had to do was basically read the chapter assigned, summarize it, give our summary to the whole class and ask a reflective question about the chapter. It was kind of a debate since the questions were quite subjective, everyone had a different opinion about the main character's behavior.
Because of time, we just covered the first part of the book which contains 11 chapters. We will continue next class that will take place on Tuesday 24, September.

Every one getting ready.
