Writing a review

Today we worked on reading and past tenses (p.34-35) and reviewed food idioms (p.36-37) mmm...!




We also watched a short film about factory farming and a parody of this film. The lesson came from a great site called Film English The film we watched was called The Scarecrow



Your homework is to write a restaurant review. Use the guidelines on p.38-39 and visit Delusionary Culinary (the blog we used in class) to help you with this. The vocabulary you found in the restaurant blog is below - great teamwork!







Remember there is no class on June 14. See you on June 21!
