• First, make a list of vocabulary words that would be useful in describing what you did and used to do. Review the keywords linked in your lessons for ideas.
• Then, make a list of verbs that would be useful to describe your activities. Review the language lab exercises for ideas. At this point, just list the infinitive (unconjugated) forms.

How did you spend time with family and friends over the summer? Now think about how your life has changed. What did you do last summer? What do you want to do this summer?

Type your outline in a word processing program so you can copy/paste it into the text box linked link on the Assessing Your Learning page.
