Some speaking

This week we have practiced speaking in a few ways. First, level 5 and the returnees rewrote parts of a Christmas carol as part of an argument. Also, level 6 has been practicing the tone of public speaking by rehearsing the measure and rhythm of a documentary on space exploration.

Christmas Carols Week 2

Last week, we studied the Christmas carols about the traditional religious Christmas story. This week, we will focus on Christmas carols about Santa and other aspects of Christmas.
