Grade 7/8 YMCA Presentations

On Tuesday October 21, 2014 a cheerful presenter from the YMCA came to our ESL class to talk about communication skills. She first introduced herself and asked us to think about what we know about communication. She then wrote and talked about the three types of communication on chart paper. These skills are verbal, non-verbal and para-verbal communication. With every communication skill we did an activity. We enjoyed that day because we did some fun activities and we learned more about communicating. By: Esther K., Khashayar G., Mabel H.  8C

On Tuesday November 4, we were excited to have a second presentation from the YMCA. Our YMCA presenter visited our ESL class again, this time to talk to us about multiculturism and Canadian culture. She first introduced the subject we were going to talk about and then she started to talk about Canadian culture and traditions. After, we played a trivia game based on what we learned. We learned a lot of things about Canadian culture such as food and special Canadian ‘lingo’. We also learned about famous people and about food from different cultures. We really enjoyed the presentation because we learned so much! We are looking forward to our next presentation. By: Rena D. and Moana H. 7C
