This Week's Unit:: "Nolbuand Hyungbu" |
Last week we read the story, "Nolbu and Hyungbu", a fable from Asia. Nolbu and Hyungbu are two brothers that are very different from one another. Nolbu was rich and greedy, and Hyungbu was poor and generous. Does Nolbu learn to be a good brother?
This week we will be comparing two versions of the story to see how a person can write a story with better wording. We are also going to produce the story as a video movie with actors and narrators.
4th Period SEI learns English through oral discussions, listening, basic English grammar rules, vocabulary, reading, and writing.
Remember to practice your English everyday!!
And read, read, read!
