Future Tense Video Homework

See my example video below!
Video Mail Homework:

Due:  Before you leave (March 9)


Directions:  Using many forms of future tense speaking AND future time clauses, record yourself giving a description of your plans for your Spring Break week.
  - Use "be going toto talk about general plans.
  - Use "will" or "be going to" to describe predictions.
  - Use adverbs (probably, certainly, etc.) to show (un)certainty
  - Use simple present for scheduled events
  - Use present progressive for specific, definite plans
  - Use future time clauses in the present tenses  
  - Use subordinating conjunctions (after, before, while, etc.)
  - Use future progressive to focus on duration or events in progress


Details:  
  - This is not an interview.  Do it by yourself.
  - You MAY write a script to practice.
  - But you MAY NOT read from a script for your video.
  - Use a calendar or notes (see mine below) to help you.
  - Your video should be more than 2 minutes long
  - Here is the link to MailVU.com

NOTE:  You don't have to use ALL of those forms (above), but you must use many of them.



Austin's Example Video:


(My video is 8 minutes long, but yours only needs to be 2 minutes long.)


Here is my schedule for next week.
