Welcome to the e-classroom!

Since this is your first contact with English in the e-classroom, here are some things to remember:

1.) If you have trouble with anything regarding work from home (no, really, anything), ASK ME in the forum, the chatroom or via private messaging. I'll gladly answer any and all questions related to English, how the classroom works, etc.

2.) The instructions are in English - you should be used to it by now. HOWEVER... če slučajno česa ne razumeš, glej točko 1: VPRAŠAJ na forumu, piši mi v privatna sporočila ali klepetalnico.

3.) Remember to check out everything in the "Angleščina" folders or sites for each day. If you click on something and nothing happens, check your Downloads in Chrome/Firefox/Edge. There's probably a file there waiting for you.

4.) IF YOU SEE SOMETHING IN RED, COPY IT IN YOUR NOTEBOOK.

Let me be real for a second. Not being in the classroom with you guys and gals sucks, but if we do our best, we can sail through these two weeks like it's nobody's business.

Stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, cough into your sleeve and all the other things you've heard about 942 times before!

Your English teacher,

Jaka


P.S: you already have printed versions of your Student's book, but here's a link to the e-version just to be sure:

ENGLISH – INSTRUCTIONS – TUESDAY MARCH 16th 2020

Alright, let's get the ball rolling.

 

Since we got shut down right before our second test, we will mostly practice for the test AND ADD NEW STUFF for the test (nothing too hard).

 

1. The last thing we did before we got closed down was the mock test, the “preverjanje”. So naturally, here's

JOB #1: Download, open the solutions and check your mock test.

Nothing fancy here. Just go through the mock test, check where you did well, mark where your knowledge needs some work.

LINK to the mock-test with solutions:  click here

**************************


2. When you’ve done that, click on these links:

https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-exercise-4.html

https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-exercise-5.html

You will get a bunch of exercises for – guess what – the Present Perfect. We learned a lot about Present Perfect and this link will help you do the second job:

JOB #2: Solve all the exercises from the link.

Type in the solution and click “Check”. If you just can’t

get it right, click “Show” instead.

It could be a question, negative or positive sentence.

EXAMPLE:







It’s always good to brush up on your forms!

***************************

Hey, you know what you guys don’t like very much? Irregular verbs!

 

Hey, you know what you guys DO like very much? KAHOOT!

 

Now look. You’re 8th grade now. So here are two Kahoot!’s that’ll kick your … I mean, that are hard. According to the teacher who made them, anyway.

 

JOB #3: Kahoot! away with irregular verbs.

Here are two Kahoot! links:

First Kahoot! link

Second Kahoot! link


Select Classic mode. Take your phone, go to kahoot.it, enter the PIN and your nickname. Hit “Start” and off you go!

 

If you want, you can message me your results (how many you got right, not how many points, so for example 34/36) using the e-classroom messaging system. You need to log in with AAI for that. Even if you think you did badly, don’t worry, I won’t judge 😉

That’s it for today! Hope you polished your Present Perfect and your irregulars a bit and that you had fun.

 

Tomorrow, we take a look at some vocabulary, mostly to do with movies.
