I hope you are staying warm today. It’s chilly!

Here are today’s slides. Here are slides about the?simple present.

Today we practiced talking about our daily routines using the simple present. We did page 88 (yes/no questions with do and does) and talked about wh-questions on p. 91 and specifically who-questions on p. 92. We also briefly talked about work benefits on p. 94.

Do you need to correct your?neighborhood paragraph?again? Here are some tips:

• Capitalize names of places, streets, cities (Central Park, Wall Street, The Taj Majal Restaurant, Portland)

• Do not capitalize general nouns (park, police station, bank, street, city, restaurant)

• Indent (press the Tab key one time) at the beginning of your paragraph

• Add a title. Capitalize most of the words (first and last word). Do not capitalize the, and, of and other prepositions. Do not add a period.

• Do not write your sentences in a list. At the end of your sentence, add a period. Add a space. Then start a new sentence with a capital letter.
