Homework for Friday: Read on till chapter 12

Hi folks,

As I have sadly realized we won't have classes on tomorrow (Wednesday) because you have your information meeting with your year group in lessons 1-3, please read on till chapter 12 for Friday and chose an activity for these chapters, too (meaning 1 post on chapters 9+10 until Wednesday and 1 post on chapters 11+12 until Friday).

 

Homework for Wednesday

Hi folks, 

as we have agreed, please read chapters 9-10 for the class next Wednesday. Make sure you post what exactly you will work on and don't forget to post your work on those chapters. 

Have a nice weekend!

Class test tomorrow

Please notice that we have changed the room for our class test. 

For last-minute preparation I advise you to take a look at all the wonderful posts and ideas of your classmates within the last couple of days. 

See you tomorrow - good luck!
