adjectives - comparatives for intermediate / b1 esl students
DESCRIPTION
This is a test presentation for an overview of the content from F.O.G. 3 Focus on Grammar 3 Unit 20. This grammar is for Intermediate / B1 English students. I'm practicing using powerpoint. Before I was using Mac software. There are mistakes in this presentation. I will put some more up as I experiment with my format. I will also be tweaking these as a result of my students' needs when I discover them. Please comment or share your presentations or ideas. I'm open, and interested, in collaboration. Slideshare requires a Pro account for movies, so I put the video with narration on my youtube, if you're interested. http://youtu.be/Duab5JlvnHITRANSCRIPT
