I just realized -- after teaching this class for about 4 years now -- that I always have students read "Ground Zero" and then follow this by writing a description of the library. Subconsciously, I must have made the correlation between the two tasks: it is all about places, the settings that we must describe.
Anywho, we began class with the first 4 words of lesson 2 vocabulary. Then, we discussed "Ground Zero," paying attention to the characteristics of description: imagery, mood, subjective & objective details, and purpose. Last, we moved to the library to jot down notes covering four of the five senses.
For Monday, we will continue with vocabulary, complete an analytical activity with your 1-2 paragraphs describing the library to someone who has never been there, and begin our grammar preparations.
