Class 3: Unit 7; holiday customs

Class 3: Unit 7; holiday customs


In class today we talked about different holidays and tried to categorize them (historical/seasonal/religious/annual/commercial).

We talked about how we celebrate Korean Thanksgiving (추석) and whose family is the most traditional. We considered the question of whether it is important to keep traditions alive and why...

We looked at the photo story where two people talk about Chuseok and another similar tradition holiday. We considered the similarities and differences between the way the two holidays are celebrated. We also talked about some of the key phrases from story.

I reminded you that you will need to clarify the meaning of the many Korean words you use when talking about your culture and traditions.

We finished by talking about different ways that holidays are celebrated around the world. We used the conversation model and the phrase 'Thanks, same to you!' which can be used to reciprocate a well-wish.

We looked briefly at the grammar of relative pronouns (who/that) in adjective clauses. We will talk more about them next class.


I will post the unit 7 homework links next Friday~


Have a great week(end)!
