registered with
the Language
Center, I have the
sign-up sheets for

3. What are we
doing today?
The main idea for today is
to work in pairs, and to
work with as many of your
classmates as possible. It’s
best if you put your bags,
phones, jackets, etc. away .
You won’t need them.
You will need your book, a
pen/pencil and willingness
to talk.
Today’s class will require a lot of moving.
All you should have with you is your
pictures, your book, and a pencil or pen.
