Tense and Lax i Sounds

Hello, class!

Almost everyone was in class today. Thank you! Today we got a new student in our class. Welcome, Samir!

Today we practiced our listening skills with the sounds /iy/ and /I/. We played Pronunciation Journey four times. Each time a player arrived at the correct city, she or he got a star. If you got three or four stars, you are now ready to play the game with a classmate.

We spent the last part of the class practicing the /iy/ and /I/ sounds in conversation. I gave each pair three conversation prompt cards. Some sample questions were:

  • Do you like cheese on your pizza?
  • Do you peel a peach before you eat it, or do you eat the skin?
  • What is the most interesting thing in your city?
  • Do you like dill pickles?

Tuesday we will continue working with vowel sounds in the computer lab.

Stay cool!
