Monday, 01 November, 2010: B2 Class

In this lesson, we talked about family and family trees.  We looked at Peter's family tree in our textbook, and I drew my own family tree on the chalkboard.  We practiced asking and answering questions like this:

Who's Marie's [grandmother]?
Marie's grandmother is Pearl.

Who's Doug?
Doug is Marie's uncle.

Be careful!  The 's on "Marie's" is not short for the word "is".  Here, 's shows possession or relationship:

Marie's grandmother =/= Marie is grandmother
Marie's grandmother = the grandmother of Marie

Don't forget your homework!
In class, I drew my family tree on the chalkboard.  Now, it's your turn!  Draw your family tree in your notebook.  Be sure to include your grandmothers, grandfathers, mom, dad, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, and cousins.
