Current Unit Theme: 
Child's Play

During this unit we have been learning how to talk about authority, give orders, make requests, ask for permission, and persuade others. 

We also discussed the idiom "to wear many hats." How many hats do you wear in your daily life? In which roles do you have authority over others? Are some hats more difficult to wear than others? 

Share your ideas in the Class Discussion forum!  

Video of the Week:
Fun with Harlem Style (The New York Times)
