Science and Invention

You should look at the reading on page 94, the vocabulary on page 95, and the related phrasal verbs on page 157 in File 6.

Also, if you are interesting, you can practice listening for detail with the listening exercise on Easter that you can find below.

Future Goals in Portfolio

You have worked some at creating specific goals in the Setting Goals activity. When you are writing about goals in your portfolio, it would be good to also include more broad goals. This can include tasks (which were not a part of the skills goals we were setting), but especially longer-term goals.

The idea there would be to include some of the "cathedral" goals - the kinds of goals you are working toward in the more distant future. It would help to connect the short-term goals and long-term goals; in theory, the things you are working on this semester are steps toward reaching bigger and broader goals later.
