Youngmen, its the Weekend and lets talk about your favorite sport!


Yesterday
A double from two-time world footballer of the year Lionel Messi saw Barcelona beat bitter domestic rivals Real Madrid 2-0 in their Champions League semi-final clash Wednesday night.
Who do you support, were you disappointed?
Next
The second leg is next Tuesday and the winners are likely to play Manchester United in the May 28 final at Wembley after the English side beat Schalke 04 2-0 away on Tuesday.
When is the final match...Lets make some predictions, which two teams will play in the final match, which team do you think will take the cup and why?

Writing: I can survive with Nature...

"There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story."

Gentlemen, as we're nearing the end of the year, it's important that we pause and reflect on all that we've learnt. Look at the picture: so calm and serene, so peaceful.

Describe what you can see in the photograph. Use a quote on Nature to add meaning to your writing. Add it to your collection in your Journal.

Why is vocabulary important in literacy?



Learning new words contributes to the learning progress of a student and improves skills such as Reading. A rich vocabulary also improves students' ability to communicate through speaking, listening, and writing.





Make it a point to jot down new words you come across and often read then over again to practice pronunciation and spelling.





Here are some of the vocabulary words we are looking over in LC4. Take note in your journal or via Edmodo.



University, exams, doctor, medicine, salary, retire, business Crew, pilot, interview, population, government, pessimism, reaction, react, behavior, Communist, tradition, mess, incredible, controlled, capitalism, development, shocking, factories, boundaries, concrete, dozens, wealth, commuting, energy, corners.

Into the Wild: Unit 10-NHPSB

The picture through my eyes:
The scene is seen in three different sections, blue, green, and whitish blue. Yes, it looks amazing. Standing, looking up at the sky, clouds floating, sun doesn't shine brightly. The sun is not so bright that it stings your eyes sometimes, forcing you to put a hand on your forhead to create a shadow for your eyes. There are also times when the cloud covers the sun calming down the brightness. When the wind blows, it creates waves and the river appears to have life. The place looks so serene and calm. I'm looking forward to visiting this wonderful, amazing and clean place full of scenic beauty.

Gentlemen, use the above description as an example, to describe a place, you'd like to visit, someday. Use as many adjectives as possible to describe the place.

Gentlemen,

Remember!
A good reader reads in different ways:
Reading slowly and carefully is INTENSIVE READING.
When you read quickly for the general idea, it is called SKIMMING.
At other time you read for details and information, is known as SCANNING.
A good reader chooses the right way to read.
