TEACHERS COMMENTS / NOTES / THINGS TO REMEMBER

- The class is planned for 23rd of September. This school starts every Friday with
homeroom, so all the regular classes are only 35 minutes long. The seventh grade has

English during the fifth period and this is their last class for the week. They are likely
to be tired and impatient to head home.
- The group of boys sitting the first two rows on the left side of the classroom are
the most likely to need disciplinary reminder - maybe stay a little longer in that part
of the classroom every time youre walking among the students
For the puzzle at the end of the class - you need three sentences for each desk - 30
students in total/ 15 desks - 45 sentences (including the 8 from the book)
-
