Dear group, last week we had  our Reading Workshop and we worked with three different texts and increasing difficulty.

-text 1: The Oliveira Family  (students read Tony's family description and then completed a family tree and worked on True or False questions and practised the saxon genitive) This text was quite easy.

-text 2: Swedish and Kurdish Families (two texts described the "typical" Swedish and Kurdish family. Here students had to associate sentences to one text or the other: matching information) This text was not difficult.  
-text 3: British at Work ( a text on British at work and lunch break. Here students had to identify the general idea of he text, from three options, and relate figures (=cifras) to the text). This text was much more complicated but the questions where very general.

Hope you found the session useful, click here to check the answers. See you next week.

Note: "had" , "worked", "completed", "described" are the past forms of the verbs have, work, complete, and describe
