Your job today (the 12th of October)

Thank you for acting out (…) in class yesterday! There are some great highlights, for example when Robert sang so beautifully and Malin and Josefin were two lions in love. Another instance is the serious acting done by Mohamed, Ari, Ernesto and Dardan.

Today I want you to:
1) read through my comments (in the entry below)
2) take a good look at your entry and correct at least 5 mistakes.
3) read each others’ entries and write positive comments to 3 of
them.

MEET BEYONCE, EMINEM, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JESSICA SIMPSON

Robert knew who he was writing about (Eminem) and perhaps Amin and Mohamed guessed the idea behind the pictures when they wrote “David Beckhams little boy” and “My memories of Jennifer Lopez” respectively. The photos you wrote your text about were taken of celebrities when they were young. I have read all of your texts, and am amazed by your writing skills! Here are quotes from your essays:

A "happily ever after" story:

Title:
"Summer kiss"

Descriptive words/phrases:
“Jessica woke up with a smile on her face – today was the day!” and “They gave Happy that name because he is always happy”. Another good example is:

He had good grades, he had a lot of potential and he was going to grow up and be somebody someday" and "destructive life style" as well as "without the support at home there wasn’t much that could catch him when he started spiralling down towards a life of drugs and crime.

The ending/conclusion

“I’m always going to remember her face. She had long brown hair, brown eyes and a beautiful smile. That day I took the life from a sixteen year old girl. I think about her and her family everyday”

A story with a bad ending:¨

Title
“If you just knew!” and “Still missing” as well as “The sun can’t keep shining all day long…”

Descriptive words/phrases:
"it makes me feel bad".

Something in between (= a contrast)
"with great success comes great enemies"

Ending:
"Everyone started to look for him but they never found the boy..." as well as these two conclusions: “Sarah was a happy seventeen with long blond hair and a smile that were breathtaking. A memory ceremony will be held the 20th of October” and “The next morning she wakes up at the hospital, and her brother is lying in the bed next to her but not her parents”.

ARGUMENTERANDE TAL I SVENSKA

Fredagen den 15 oktober ska du hålla du ett argumenterande i svenska i halvklass (fråga/maila mig om du är osäker på vilken grupp du tillhör) och denna gång börjar grupp 2. Du får välja ämne fritt (inom ramen för demokratiska värderingar). In din uppgift ingår:

att tala mellan 1 - 2 minuter
att ha en intresseväckande inledning
att ha minst 1 argument för/emot och högst 3
att avsluta medvetet
och givetvis att inte ha något manus

Om du vill får du gärna visa upp något, eller spela något som passar (ett visuellt eller auditivt hjälpmedel, alltså).

Your homework in English is for Monday the 18th!

Your homework is to read the text "Product Placement" so you can translate the text. You also have the words to the text.

DESCRIBE SOMEONE ELSE - use your imagination!

Today your job is to describe someone else, and you have the pitures to your right to choose from. Make up a story about one of them, and write one with a happy ending (describing a happy life) and one negative story with a sad ending. Each of the stories should consist of 50- 150 words.

Chose a heading that gets the reader interested in reading your text.

Write an introduction that also gets the reader interested in readning more.

Indicate clear paragraphs.

Describe the person; what he/she looks like, how the person acts, and why. Also write about the person's life choices (that could be either good or bad...)

Write a clear conclusion/summary to your text.

Note! When you are done please look at the entries written by your class mates (last week) and comment on at least one of the texts - write one positive remark and one where you suggest an improvement.

Comments on your bog entries

Thank you for your excellent texts! I have quoted passages from some of them below.

Title
"Being myself, whatever that might be"
"This is the true story about an Albanian soldier…"

Description
"Many people think that my mother is my older sister(not that she looks so young but...we are as copies).She also has dark brown hair and it's almost like I've had her face glued on my head". Here is another example:
"sometimes when I think about the war my adrenalin is high, I don’t know why"

Imagery
"My life it´s like a carousel, it's always something that happens"

Humour
"I’m not the longest girl you’ve met". and:
"My name is Amin Aweidah. I guess you know who I am" as well as: " I have long brown hair and no my dad dosen´t have long hair" and finally this introduction: "My name is Matilda Widén and I´m probably the most interesting person you will ever get to know. That’s why I suggest that you read my presentation carefully. I promise you, otherwise you miss something".

Contrasts
"I love them even if I’m not so good at showing it"

Personal statements
"My life right now is not that interesting but it will be…soon."
