Welcome to Teacher Cindy's Blog!

This blog is for my students at Bleiker High School in Asker, Norway. Here I will post things I think you may find interesting. Sometimes they are related to what we are learning about in class. Other times they have to do with English as a language and as a subject. Please jump in and be part of the conversation!

Wisconsin Dells and other resorts

This week the second-year students worked on an exercise about a lifeguard at a waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USA. The Wisconsin Dells is a natural feature on the Wisconsin River, a canyon at the river narrows with beautiful rocks formations carved by millions of years of running water. Wisconsin Dells, WI, is a town near the Dells. Wisconsin Dells is a family resort town, full of people during the summer tourist season, and especially known for its water parks. I visited the Dells as a little girl in - eep - 1976. That was before water parks were invented!

Does spending your summer vacation visiting water parks sound like your idea of heaven? Or maybe you prefer seeing a new city, or travelling where most tourists fear to tread?
