How are you? I'm glad to be back with you in class. Today, I'll ask you to send me your first homework about your student life at Shibaura. I'll also ask you to send me your homework with your edited sentences. I'll give you my email address.

Now let's go to a new lesson: organizing information by time in our writing.

WARMUP
Look at these sentences in this story called A Boy and a Girl:

      Unfortunately, the boy is sent off to defend his country in a war.
___They lost contact with each other after the war is over.
___And then they decided to get married.
___Then, a few years later, they met by chance.
___A boy and a girl became childhood sweethearts.
___They renewed their friendship.
___After they got marrried, they moved to Hawaii.

The sentence in bold is the first one. Which is the next sentence? Talk about these sentences with your classmates and decide the correct order (正しい順番)! Then open up a new Word document and write the sentences in correct order.

LESSON
1. Look at the signal words on page 30, and do Activity 2.
2. Now - go to your Word document and put signal words in the A Boy and a Girl story.

ACTIVITY - THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE
Get together in groups of 3 or 4 classmates. All classmates go to your email accounts. One student write this sentence in an email:

The worst experience of my life happened about 5 years ago. 

The student sends this sentence to one of his team's classmates. The classmate has to think of another sentence to add to this sentence, to start a story. Then he sends it to another classmate.

In a chain, all the team members keep doing this until the team has a story! Let's call it The Worst Experience of My Life. Each team member has to write 2 or 3 sentences each.

When you're finished with your sentences, all the team members get together and add signal words to the story. Then one student copy & paste the story onto a Word document and send it to me!

HOMEWORK
Textbook - pages 31-32 Activity 2 and page 33 Part B (for 10/26)

See you next week!
