Don´t forget to revise the characteristics for writing a story we worked on at the beginning of the year!!!! Check your copybook for the notes.

Love to all. Natalia

Practice Present Perfect

Hi guys: click on the following link, watch the movie scene and do activity I described there.

http://www.moviesegmentstoassessgrammargoals.blogspot.com.ar/search/label/present%20perfect

After that, write true answers about you using the actions described in activity I. DO NOT do activity II from the link. Example: "I´ve never eaten Mexican food" . Do it in your copybook. Also, you probably want to interview a member of your family asking, for example, "Having you ever eaten Mexican food?". Feel free to do so and we´ll share next class!!
Kisses to all. Natalia
