- We told each other about our research on our chosen actor.
- We practised pronunciation of letter e: /ɪ/, /e/, /ɜː/  
- We did a listening about the childhood dreams of two girls.
- You received the feedback from your recorded productions and the diagnostic listening.
- We practised the difference between /j/ and /dʒ/
- We filled in the gaps of the lyrics of Carly Simon's You're so vain given in phonetic transcription.
Homework:
- Go to NPR's page (National Public Radio) of StoryCorps.
- Pick up a story you find interesting and listen to it until you understand it. I know the recordings have the transcription but you should read it only after you've listened to it at least two or three times. Then listen while reading and listen again without reading to see if it unfolds clearer than the first times,
- Take notes, NOT sentences to follow the story so that you can later remember it.
- Write down three words whose pronunciation you needed to practise.
- Write down two structures from the listening  that you understand, you never use but you'd like to start using.
- Bring everything to class and share!
