Yes, he has to stay in prison a bit longer than the other gang members because he broke out once, but still, it could be worse. But he forgets sometimes what this means for his father.
Not that he could ever forget that his father is in prison. It reminds Johnny of his father's situation. "I don't have much else to do around here." "I didn't know you were keeping count," Johnny replies with a twist of his mouth. "It's been ten weeks," his father replies. We have only been dating for a couple of weeks." "I … uhm … I don't think we have reached the parents-meeting-level yet. "You know, it'll take a while with all the paperwork and such." To his surprise his father asks, "When do I get to meet her?" He taps against the class separating them. His father looks at him for a moment, and he wears that smirk on his face, so Johnny expects another comment on Cia being the not-that-kind-of-girl-kind of girl. "The boys are still making comments on you having your first girlfriend," his father goes on. Although Ash tried, maybe, but he isn't sure about that. They all could have given him a hint, though. Mike telling them they could go back to being lovey-dovey. He has to admit, after their kiss, so many things suddenly made sense. I bet everyone knew, except for her maybe."
"No," his father replies, followed by a laugh. "And would you please stop calling her that?" The can be used for games such as Memory, Hangman, Charades, Pictionary, and Concentration."So how's the not-that-kind-of-girl-kind of girl doing?" his father asks, and Johnny rolls his eyes. These sheets are great for creating lesson plans and they are standard sized so they are great for cutting up and turning into cards. In the meantime I have a great website:Įnglish Worksheets – I like that the vocabulary is divided by subject and they have many, many subjects.Įxample: Daily Routine Pictionary Worksheet. I have used several in the past including huge coffee table sized books, but I’ve yet to find a good one for sale in my local area. It should simply be a good picture representation and the English word next to it, without any translation. I want to show them a real, juicy apple and say “apple.” While this isn’t always possible, it is what I strive for.Īn invaluable resource is a good picture dictionary. I don’t want to open a dictionary and tell them apple is яблоко. What do I mean by organically? I mean by exposure to real things and real situations. Ideally I want my students to learn organically, like they learn their native language. When it is their turn and they pick a word they do not know, they can either pick another word, or we will play Hangman. Then we discuss the English word and it becomes a vocabulary word to learn. If they know the word, just not in English, I let them guess in their native language. We take turns picking a word and acting it out. I keep the difficult words separate from the medium and easy words so my students are playing with the appropriate level. I have jars with my cut out my words from my word lists. Example, how would you use play charades for the word “hotel”? This creative task exercises the language center of the brain and builds memory associations for new words (the student will remember the time they learned the word monkey when they were jumping up and down like a crazy person). Or to use gestures to describe an abstract idea. When you have a limited vocabulary, it takes a great deal of creativity to express a thought. Whether I was trying to tell the shop keeper which item I wanted from behind the counter, or trying to give directions to a taxi driver, I did a ridiculous amount of hand waving. Daily living involved a lot of pantomime. When I came to Russia, I thought that Russian would be just as easy for me. I thought maybe I was lucky and was born with a gift for languages. I can still recite off my accusative and dative prepositions. Learning new grammar or new words was a breeze. My teaching style comes from my own experiences of learning a language.
