Lesson 93--clockwise and counter clockwise


 
 
There are lots of direction words in English.  Today's lesson is all about circular directions.  When we have to do something in a circular direction the key word is

clockwise

Just like it sounds, we took the inspiration from a clock.  Although most of you probably use a digital clock, you have probably seen an analog clock.  Imagine if the clock were laying down in front of you. 

clockwise--the direction following the clock.

counter clockwise/anticlockwise--going in the opposite direction.

This can be used for:   dealing cards
                                    taking turns
                                    choosing an order to follow
                                    following any circular direction

example:          Deal the cards clockwise.
                        Take turns proceeding clockwise
