Wednesday Homework, Bear Attack!

Hello everybody, and welcome to the new students!

I apologize for the confusion about the presentation, so tomorrow we'll have a double presentation with Ayaka and JongSun.  It'll be great!  Remember, rarely if ever should the presentations last longer than 15 minutes, so keep that in mind as you prepare!

In the grammar section today we covered Focuses 2 and 3; your homework is to do Exercise 2 on page 424 (this one's a little tricky--you'll have to write 20 sentences) and exercise 3 on page 425.  Also, please do Exercise 4 on page 427.  Be sure to write it on a piece of paper to hand in tomorrow.

We also discussed the beneficial and detrimental effects of forest fires, whether or not people should live in forests, and bear attacks.  Also, we went over the vocabulary related to trees and forests on page 49 of Academic Connections (which I copied and handed out to you).   For homework, I asked you to answer the questions on page 49 part 3) and read "The Beneficial Effects of Forest Fires, page 50 and 51 of the handouts.

Wow...today, you got pounded with homework! 

Since Ohana asked to see the story about the girl who was recently attacked by a bear, here it is.  Let me know if you have any problems opening it.  In case you do, here is the link.
