Welcome to the first daily lesson outline for Wednesday 25 March. It’s time for us to switch to our planned videoconferences for English – which will run when you normally have your English lesson on your timetable.

Don’t worry if you can’t always make it to these sessions. I’ll endeavour to record them and attach them to the class page for anyone who didn’t make it, or who has technical problems.

SHARED READING

It is expected that it will take us all a bit of time to get used to the online learning environment. The plan is to spend the beginning of the period reading our analysis paragraphs from last week to each other, and then everyone will be encouraged to find a snug place and read independently for the rest of the hour.

Let’s see how we go with this. I’ll be more than happy to receive input from you about how it works at your end.
