Monday's Assignment



Good afternoon! So here's what we're doing this afternoon:

Take dictation of this Chirbit audio: 0:00 - 1:52. Be sure to check your transcript with a partner, and read it back to each other before posting.
Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed yourself. Did anyone from the government come knocking at your door? Someone did at mine, asking about voter registration, trying to confirm the number of over-18 voters in the household.

Guess what our theme is for this week. If you guessed the government in Canada, you guessed right.

Here are your tasks:
  1. Do this exercise on the Government of Canada.
  2. Browse this website, and compare it to the previous one. Discuss any similarities and differences with your partner.
  3. Think about other governments around the world. Then add a quick comparison to the government in the country you came from.
  4. Leave your comment on the field trip to Durdy Bayramov museum on our blog and on their FB page.
