Tuesday, March 13 - AM Advanced

Today we began reading a book entitled The USA. First, we had an opening discussion: share three interesting facts about US history and/or culture. 

We then turned to the book itself, starting with the “Before Reading” activity on p. 60. 

We then read chapter 1 with some discussions along the way. First discussion: What is your favorite type of topography/terrain–mountains, beaches, deserts, wetlands, prairies, etc. The most common answer was mountains and beaches. Second discussion: find three differences between British English and American English, like lifts, trainers, crisps, etc. 

We then read chapter 2, about the first Thanksgiving.
