Ok, well, as you know I always try to make sure that whatever we have on sub days is whatever we are normally covering. It’s just class without me.
This is a big one. Make sure you pay attention to the websites. You’re expected to know this and I won’t be reviewing more than I normally would be, so learn it well.
Lecture/Lesson Material:

You are now working as a guy/gal charged with finding people jobs. But not just anyone, you find jobs for old, washed-up cartoon and children’s show actors (like the Power Rangers) Using the RE and ER verbs, write a job description for 5 jobs to characters that you think they would like.
I.E. Scooby Do: Il travaille à l’hôpital. Il vend du café aux grandmères. Il rend du café aux médecins.
I kept it simple, but I got the point across that Scooby will now be working in a hospital cafe, selling coffee to grannies and doctors.
