6 June 2016 Dear colleague,
Thanks for taking this class.

Students have been learning a poem of their

choice by heart.

Play the recordings of the poems first. You can

find the Audio files under the section resources
of this class. I will also leave a USB with a
copy of the files.

Week 11 Ask a volunteer to recite his/her poem in front

of the class, then allow the rest of the class to
practice in pairs.
2 Tell them that this will be their last chance to
learn the poem and next time they will be
BLUE assessed on it.

As an extra activity, you can ask students to

copy the cartoon story, frame by frame, on
page 19 -Mi piace-. They can draw the
characters and background and copy the
speech bubbles from the book. Make sure they
leave a blank box at the bottom of each frame
where they will be writing the translation.

Sincerely,

Alessandro Alesci

Finally, they start reading and repeating with

the goal of memorization.

As homework, students work on their textbook
