English Bay

Hello friends.

We're all heading down to English Bay this Sunday for hot dogs and a walk on the beach.

Meet at the Starbucks at the corner of Denman and Davie at 1:00, and we'll go from there.

Bring your friends, and wish for sun!

Shantel and her dog Huckleberry are coming along too.

If you get lost or have any questions, give me a call or send an email.

See you then!

Miley Cyrus

Hello friends.

Since we've been talking about fashion and image this week, I thought it might be fun to watch this video about a young star and think about the way she comes across to her fans.

First, watch and listen for gist. Then answer these questions:

1) Who is Miley Cyrus?

2) What did Miley do for Vanity Fair Magazine?


Watch again if you need to, then answer these questions:

1) Who is upset about the photos? Why are they upset?

2) How old is Miley Cyrus?

3) How did Miley feel about the photos a) when they were taken, b) now.

4) Does Michael Speier think that these photos will hurt Miley's career? Why or why not?


Listen for these words and try to guess their meanings.

squeaky-clean

role model

manipulate

deliberately

Fun Weekend Writing

Hello friends.

What would you do with a million dollars? Would you buy a house? Spend it on the people you know? Give it away? Start your own business? Travel? Buy a million Tim Horton's doughnuts?

Tell us your plans.

I can already hear the cash registers ringing...
