Talk about your weekend. What did you like the most? What did you like the least? Option: Share your contact information in case of emergency. Examples: What I liked the most was the beauty or the snow on the trees. What I liked the least was shoveling snow. Option? Because maybe students do not want to share your personal. But we are making friends in this class. Maybe it would be helpful to be able to phone a classmate - to ask a question or ask for help. Maybe the help is something that is easier to ask for when you know someone. Phone number ... only text me/or it is okay to call me. Email... So think about this option when you have conversations today. Questions? School has a 2 hour delay. So, I do not know how many students will be in class today. ------------------------- Conversation Practice 15 minutes + 5 minute ------------------------- Share our Conversations Any conjunctions?
