EN - Friday Reading Class

EN - Battle of Hastings

Both productive (speaking and writing) and receptive (listening and reading) skills are assessed.&nbsp; In addition, a certain knowledge about the countries and customs of the English-speaking world is important.
During the year we will be using different textbooks, as well as external material. All these will be provided by your teacher.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Speaking skills&nbsp;&ndash; We will use English at all times (except for an occasional exercise in translation. Discussions &ndash; in pairs, small groups and whole class&mdash;are an integral part of the program.&nbsp; There will be individual presentations as well.</li>
<li>Writing skills&mdash;Exercises to practice writing are central to the course. In addition, we will discuss grammar in conjunction with writing assignments, as understanding of grammar facilitates clear writing.&nbsp; Opportunities for peer critique are important; often one of the first steps to being able to improve one&rsquo;s own writing is recognizing difficulties in another&rsquo;s.</li>
<li>Listening skills&nbsp;&ndash; Active listening will be vital in the classroom. At times there will be exercises in listening for specific information.</li>
<li>&nbsp;Reading skills&nbsp;&ndash; We will devote a great deal of time to reading, as it is only through practice that fluent reading develops. With the increase in technology, most people spend less time reading. Nuances in a text are often conveyed by vocabulary, so attention will be paid to increasing vocabulary.</li>
<li>The English-speaking world&nbsp;&ndash; We will consider the English-speaking world in general and one country in particular. We will also study some aspects of the history of English literature.</li>

The Swedish School Board encourages pupils to influence their lessons.&nbsp; Because of this, many of the specifics of the 6th&nbsp;grade Advanced English Program will be decided together with the pupils. The following areas will be included, however.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Pupils will work on an extensive project on the United States. They will study the geography, history, the government, current events. They will give group presentations and write a &ldquo;diary&rdquo; of an imaginary road trip.</li>
<li>Pupils will plan, execute and then present a project during a 4-week period. The type of presentation will be up to each individual.</li>
<li>We will read together several short stories, and a novel, well as some nonfiction articles.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Pupils will have 20 minutes per week to read a book of their choice. They will make short presentations of this to the class.</li>
<li>We will investigate the difference between a summary and an analysis. We will investigate the trustworthiness of differerent sources and the perils of plagiarism.</li>
<li>We will see a film together and analyze it.</li>
<li>We will do short dramatizations and role plays.</li>
<li>We will study terms for analyzing poetry as well as read a selection.</li>
<li>Pupils will study grammar in conjunction with writing. However, we will review the basics of capitalization and punctuation.&nbsp; We will focus on sentence structure and how to make transitions between paragraphs.</li>
<li>We will work with idiomatic expressions to widen vocabulary. Pupils will investigate certain areas of vocabulary.</li>
