Instructions:

1. Watch the clip of the show as many times as possible, first with the subtitles in English only, then, if needed, with the Portuguese subtitles as well. 
2. While you’re watching, try to undersdand:
   • The context:
     • where are they?
     • what is the teacher talking about?
     • what are the reasons for the first student’s tardies?
     • why was Cher late?
     • what are Cher’s intentions with her last comment?

• • The structures they use to express their thoughts and ideas.
  • New words and expressions for you to implement in your vocabulary.

     3. Check the slides to fully understand the dialog.

     4. Do the warm-up activities before watching the videos when studying the modules.

    5. In each module, we’ll analyze the structures of their speech from different perspectives, learning how to communicate in English and stop depending on our Portuguese to know what to say.

   6. Do the quiz after you finish the module to check your understanding and review topics that are still not clear.

   7. As an extra challenge, every time you finish a module, leave a comment using the structures you learned or with examples of the same structures in songs, series, movies, books, etc. Apply the notice technique in your daily life.

   8. Leave in the comments your questions about the topics that you studied.
