Students shared sentences that they made for family member chores/leisure activities. We talked a bit about why we use singular for "family" but plural when we say "they".
Ventures p. 82 A and B (reference p. 72-4) We reviewed activities that we do.
Then we moved to explaining our new vocabulary.
Exercise: Where does my money go?
Write down things you purchased during the weekend. Record every item you bought or bill you pay. Beside each item, note whether the expenditure was a need or a want. For example:
electric bill need
ice cream soda want
gas for car to go to work need
new designer T-shirt want
eggs need
beer want
What did you learn about your spending by doing this exercise?
We discussed a story about Ayana. She wanted to save money to open her own business.
We talked about student goals and how they reach them.
Key words:
wants, needs, goal, budget, earn, spend, save, savings account, investment, interest.
