Mission: Find the birthday of George Washington. Write it.
Cultural competency: I can say what Presidents' Day is (Monday, February 15), use Wh- questions + numbers to talk about it, and compare it with Honduras.
Language bridge · plurilingual and intercultural
Use every language you know to learn English, and use English to understand other people.
Age: I am 19 (to be) · Tengo 19 años (tener). Don't say «I have 19 years».
How old are you?: Quel âge as-tu ? (FR) · Quantos anos você tem? (PT) · Quanti anni hai? (IT) · Wie alt bist du? (DE). French, Portuguese and Italian use «have», like Spanish; German uses «be», like English.
Dates: the U.S. writes month/day/year (03/10/2006 = March 10); Honduras writes day/month/year. A small difference that can change a deadline!
Read a classmate's fact card and tell another classmate 3 facts: name, city and career.
Your languages count: ask at home or in your community how to say it in Garífuna, Miskitu, the English of the Bay Islands or any other language you know, and add it to your glossary. Add it to «My languages» in your Passport →
