Week 34

Hello Na1 and Te1!
You will be my two English classes this first year at upper secondary school.
We have got a new grading system, A-F instead of MVG-IG, and we also have got a new plan/criteria for the English 5 course. Please take a closer look at the course critera/ information by clicking on the link called "skolverket" to the right.
This blog will be updated regularly and it is your responsibility to take a look at it now and again.
I am looking forward to being your English teacher this year. I hope it will be as rewarding for you as I am sure it will be for me.

Best regards,
Anna
