JOANN'S STUDENTS LESSON OCTOBER 22ND

Hello Students and welcome to this lesson in the computer room,

I hope you enjoy your first lesson this year in the computer room. The Internet connection is not very good, so please, be patient. At home you can do things much faster.
FOR THIS LESSON YOU WILL HAVE TO GET SOME HEADPHONES WITH A MICROPHONE. They will also be very useful if you want to practice any of the activities at home.

20 minutes: You are going to discover lots of new sites on these computer lessons, so it is really important that you remember them for the future. You can always bookmark the pages, but then it will be no good when you go home and use your own computer. For this reason, the best thing you can do is to create a delicious account. You can use it for APLE and for many other things. Delicious is a site where you can save all the useful sites you visit and then you can access them from any computer. To create a delicious account click here and then click on the green box at the top right hand corner of the site with the label "Join now". You will need a yahoo email account. If you haven't got any, you can create one here. Try not to forget it because it will be the one you will be using in these lessons. Once you have signed in, try to save your first bookmark, this blog. You can add tags to find the site easier and faster next time. For the blog you can use the tags: blog, APLE, etc.

15 minutes: go to this page and listen to: answering machine (easy) , A student credit card (medium) and Adsense: making money (difficult). You should at least do the "II Listening Exercises". You can also try to do the "III Vocabulary activities", but this is optional. When you finish, write a comment here mentioning your name and your final score in each of the listenings. Add this page to delicious so you can find it easier next time.

10 minutes: go to the video section on the right hand side of the blog and watch the video called "demolition call". If you can't find it in the blog, you can click here. Listen to the girl and try to answer these questions about it. Write the answers as a comment to this post. Don't forget to include your name.

1.- What does the girl want to do?

2.- Where is the girl's school?

3.- What is the girl's name?

4.- Does the girl have any special requests?

5.- Why does the girl hate her teachers?

6.- Does she want the school blown out or knocked down?

7.- How much will it cost her?
