We were supposed to do a power point presentation with this exercise - but it looks like we'll save that for the last week, i.e. which you can include in your final presentation with power points on either Monday, 2 June: 14.30 - 16.30 OR Wednesday, 4 June 10.00 - 12.00 (noon). We'll devide the class into two groups of 6 or 7 and they will only have to appear for their presentation day.
- All blog posts are due BY 5 June (when you have your IELTS test) so finish before then!
- Thanks to TJ for her help this term with the blogs!!

happy blogging, the Fox
