Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

We had a good class today. Here are the slides. We reviewed the jobs at the airport, pp. 86 and we did A and C on p. 87. We talked about the simple present, which is the verb tense to talk about everyday activities. We looked at some examples in Unit 4: the sentences on p. 68, the chart on p. 70 and the final -(e)s pronunciation on p. 71.

1. English in Action 2 Unit 5: Airport Jobs. Review vocabulary. Review simple present form and pronunciation.

2. Work on/finish extra practice ?#4 (practice each skill – you choose how) and then fill out the chart (or you can call me or e-mail me).

3. No new workbook homework. We’ve done A and B. Do late work:

• Do your self-evaluation.
