Lesson 9 — Muhammad Ali

In this lesson, we listened to a news story via audio. We also practiced taking dictation.

In this lesson, we learned about Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers of all time. We listened to the story at a slow speed, and worked with partners to find the 5Ws, H and SW.

In addition, we took dictation of two sentences of the story to see how well we can hear each word.

You can listen to the audio again. If you were absent, you can download the handout and prepare the homework.
