Rang Mháire (Mary's Class)

Announcements

• We’re basically on for every week through Dec 10

Last Time (November 5) (back to top)

Warmup:

1) Translate:

Q: Céard a dúirt an t-asal lena chara nuair a chuala sé gur chaill sé a phost?
A: Mí-ádh (eee-aw)

2) Translate:

• She buys a newspaper on Wednesdays.
• She bought a newspaper on Wednesday.
• He eats dinner at the restaurant every Friday at 8:15.
• He ate dinner at the restaurant on Friday at 7:45.
• I get up at nine o’clock every Saturday, and at seven every Sunday.
• I got up at nine o’clock on Saturday, but at seven on Sunday.
• Wednesday was cold and wet but Thursday was dry.

Stuff:

We worked through the first couple of parts of a worksheet “On Monday, Every Monday,” which is more practice on using terms for the days of the week, and the rest is your homework.

We rounded out the evening with a return to Bileog 6.4 (D): “Micheál ag caint.” We reviewed what each T/F statement said so we knew what we were listening for, and then worked through the audio.

Obair bhaile:

• “On Monday, Every Monday” worksheet Part C (1-3)
• Bileog 6.4 (C) “Ceisteanna” – what does each question mean? What are your answers?

Previous Class (October 22) (back to top)

Warmup:

Translate:
1. I get up at six o’clock every day.
2. My friend doesn’t get up until seven-thirty.
3. I usually start working at nine.
4. My friend eats (his/her) breakfast at ten.
5. On Friday I ate lunch in my car. I was in a hurry.
6. I go to bed at 10:45.

Then we used the "telling-time" tiles for random timepoints in talking about made-up schedules.

Stuff:

When people returned from mythology class, we had them whip through the translations above, and did a few more on-the-fly schedules.

In that same vein, we took a look at Bileog 6.4(C) “Ceisteanna” and made sure we knew what each question meant. What would your answers be?

We finished working through the audio for “Cloig Éagsúla” – maith sibh!

For the reasons discussed in class, you have two weeks to prep yourself on more of the TEG stuff, Bileog 6.4(C) “Ceisteanna” and Bileog 6.4(D): “Micheál ag caint”

Obair bhaile:

• Bileog 6.4 (C) “Ceisteanna” – What would your answers be?
• Bileog 6.4 (D): “Micheál ag caint” – What does each T/F statement say? NB this is another listening exercise
