It’s really encouraging reading the stories behind your object descriptions and seeing you practice your English in this task. This entry is for you to guess what your peers’ objects are. Read the descriptions of 6 different peers, think about your answer and send your guesses to this entry. Make sure you indicate who the authors and what your guesses are.

Feel free to guess as many as you want but make sure everybody is read.

To read everybody’s descriptions in our virtual class follow the instruction below.

1. Access the link below

2. Look for the bottom window "Search for Posters and Worksheets"
3. Press the arrow where it says "Poster ID" and select "Class Code"
4. Once there, insert the class code 162624 and that's it

Let’s get started and have fun!
