Sixth Graders: Writing Test

Howdy, my little ducklings!

So... the time has come and you will be doing a Writing Test next Wednesday. Keep in mind the following:

1.- Verb tenses: you will be asked to do a few exercises like the ones we have done in class. Basically, it's about choosing the right tense (Past Simple- Present Perfect, mainly... But do review the other basic tenses). Remember to use your text book exercises to make sure you have everything under control.

2.- Vocabulary: music and family. Go through you "Family Tree" and make sure you know what to call your sister's daughter, your brother's wife...

3.- The "s": yes, the one that gets rid off that terrible "The house of my uncle". Remember we never use "the". I went to my uncle's house because it was my cousin's birthday party.

4.- Writing exercise: this is the biggy. It will be something similar to Jane Smith's exercise or Liam Gallagher's one.

5.- VERBS!: You have got to learn them. Use your list, please.

6.- SPELLING!: No need to say anything, is there?

Here you will find the "Liam Gallagher" exercise.

Big hugs,

Laura
