YBased on this Kahoot challenge I will be assessing your class participation. Completing this challenge is NOT optional.
The Kahoot challenge relates to the dependent prepositions handout that you were supposed to complete. You have to complete this quiz by Monday 23rd. You can call it homework but everything is homework during these dire times. Don't get too creative with your names (nicks) because I need some proof that you are participating in this educational experiment.

Last time you were supposed to read the text on page 34 and 35 about VR, do 3-8 tasks in your books (page 34/35) and answer the questions related to the text and video via Google forms. You will be provided with the key to these tasks together your 4th online lesson and receive feedback on your work submitted via Google forms.
This time, we'll be focusing on developing and expanding your vocabulary. We will also discuss the future of transport. But first things first. 1. Open your books on page 36. First answer the 3 tasks that relate to text you had to read last time. Then, move on to transport vocabulary (task 4-5). Read task 6. 2. After completing the tasks in your books, go to Google forms and answer a couple of questions about technology and transport. 1.b --- link for Google forms: forms.gle/w9T8LCtWGkBUJKp46 1.f ---- link for Google forms: forms.gle/RgHPw899aWjzUAqi9 PLEASE BE CAREFUL THAT YOU COMPLETE THE FORM INTENDED FOR YOUR GRADE. Last time you had to complete task 5 (page 44) in your books that talks about different physical and mental obstacles that certain notable individuals had to overcome. The text ends with a discussion question: would these people have achieved so much without these IMPERFECTIONS. (*check if you actually wrote IMPERFECTIONS as your answer. If you did, good for you! :) You rock!)
The plan for today's lesson is: 1. To think about the aforementioned question. Watch a video about one famous figure and his imperfection and answer a couple of questions that you have to submit by Wednesday (25 March) 00:01. Link: forms.gle/GqYi1PbBy4jHinG56 2. Go to the vocabulary bank at the end of your book ---page 137 and do the 2 tasks under the heading PHRASES WITH MIND. TO MY MIND*, you won't find it too difficult. (*In my opinion) BEAR IN MIND*, that these expressions are considered quite essential but I'm sure you already know most if not all of them. (*imaj na umu) This lesson relates to the page 104 in your books (Vocabulary Insight 8, i.e. the blue page at the end of Unit 8). Idioms (Cro. frazemi) can be pretty fun to learn because they instantly make images pop up in your mind, that is, they are very easy to visualize. However, don't jump the gun (meaning: don't be hasty, come to conclusions too quickly) when trying to figure out what idioms in foreign languages mean. You'll rarely be successful. For example, someone who's FULL OF BEANS does not have digestive issues but is rather full of energy. Idioms are language specific and culturally dependent so never try to translate them word for word (Google translate is also notoriously bad at translating idioms). You can find their translations online in articles or other verified resources. Some of the idioms in English have their equivalent in Croatian (and vice versa) while some don't. Example of idioms (English and one in Croatian) with the same/similar meaning: Kad na vrbi rodi grožđe. vs When pigs fly. Prošla baba s kolačima. vs That ship has sailed. Jedva skrpavaju kraj s krajem. vs They are barely making ends meet. Na rubu sam živčanog sloma. vs I'm at the end of my tether*. (*povodac) Lijeva ko iz kabla. vs It's raining cats and dogs. Your assignment for next Tuesday (24 March) is: 1. Complete the tasks on page 104 (focus on the idioms with END and FOOT) 2. Complete and submit the Google form that relates to idioms by Wednesday.

However, in these dire times, certain distractions (even schoolwork) can be more than welcome. To start with (3 steps): 1. We're continuing our work on dependent prepositions = fixed combinations of nouns/verb/adjectives + prepositions -- e.g. why do we say IN English "I came here ON FOOT".... but..... "I came here BY BUS"? Which preposition we're going to use depends on the noun (in this case) that follows the preposition. Go through the power point presentation and follow the instructions on your own or you can watch and listen to me going through the presentation via this link. The presentation is attached below. 2. Complete page 104 in your books. (Remember the verb + preposition - FORK OUT) --- use the Internet for help! 3. Complete the handout given to you last time (on the same sheet of paper as Steve Jobs's speech). If you were absent, you can find a copy attached at the bottom of this post. We will check your work on Friday via a quiz. Use all the available resources to complete the task.
