Good morning everyone,

1. Mary Anne will come at the beginning of class to introduce a very useful reading program that you     can access from home.

    Go to the following link and wait for Mary Anne's instructions.

    https://mohawkcollege.acereader.com/

2. After Mary Anne finishes her presentation and you had some practice on Ace Reader, you can            click on the Issues in English folder on the desktop. Then, click on Issues in English. Log in. Click      on Level 3 and click on Languages. Practice for the rest of the class.

   Those of you who were here yesterday in the listening and speaking class simply continue where        you  left off.
