A number of colleges will be visiting over the students’ breaktime on Monday 19th October.  They will run a mini-fair from 10.20-10.40 and then offer targetted talks to students from 10.40-11.00am. There risks to be some lateness to your block 3 class on Monday 19th October from Grades 11 and 12. If you require students absolutely to attend class from 10.40, you are of course free to insist on this. I will be telling students that they must ask you in advance to miss this 20 minutes from your class if they really are interested in the discussion being offered.

Learning is an interactive process. Students will learn English more effectively when they have opportunities to use the language for genuine communication. Therefore ELL/English B students need opportunities to interact socially.
