Week 10 - Relative Clauses & Audio; Blog Post #4 Due

Hey guys! Are you genki today?

Today ...
1) Blog Post #4 is due. Kevin will give you corrections, either today or by email.
2) We will hear 3 more limericks.
3) We will do a Relative Clauses worksheet. PDF
Practice #1 / #2
4) If time, we will start an Audio Activity: Find a blog post that you'd like to add audio to.
5) Choose (or make) two to four sentences that capture the feel of your blog post. 
6) Practice the sentences until you sound like a native! You need good intonation! Have Kevin listen.
7) Record your sentences (on Voice Record Pro) . *
8) Save the audio in your Google Drive or on Sound Cloud (you can log in with Google).
9) Copy the 'share' code. 
10) Paste or embed the audio clip in your blog post (at the bottom of the post).

* If you want to make a slideshow or video with a different app that includes audio, you can do that. However, you will have to figure out how to do it yourself.

• Today you will download Voice Record Pro to your smartphone (if you haven't already).
• Using your Google Drive is the easiest way to share the audio file.
• You can make a SoundCloud account (with your Google login) if you prefer.
• You will be ready to record after we practice a bit together!
