PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DO THE ACTIVITIES BELOW:
Some of you have asked me about
websites to practice certain skills that we learn in class. Whenever I look for
online activities for you (the class), I always go on Google and search for the
specific skills that I want you to practice or that we are working on. YOU can do the same at home. For
example, to find these activities, I typed in the search bar scanning
reading practice. Many different websites popped up. I clicked on each
website on the first page one by one to find good activities. I scanned and
skimmed the exercises to see if they are good.
You can do the same
with ANY of the subjects that we
practice in class.
For example, if we are
practicing the Present Perfect and you want more practice at home, go on Google
and type in Present Perfect Practice. If you want to find the best websites
to practice English, go on Google and type in the best websites to practice
English. Many websites will pop up. Play around on the websites to see
what you like. The internet has so many useful resources! THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE
AND IMPORTANT COMPUTER/SEARCH SKILL that you will need.
Now let’s do some
exercises! Today you will practice scanning and skimming.
1. Go to the website
below. Read about skimming and do the exercises.
2. Go to the website
below. Do the skimming exercises. These exercises are based on skimming only
one paragraph. Remember to read the first sentence.
3. Go to the website

scan the reading to find the answer. Once you are done, click on Next Exercise
at the bottom of the page.
4. Go to the website
below. Read the facts sheets for each entry level and do the worksheets.
