Back to School

Whew! It's been fun, but it's time to put the nose to the grindstone one last time this quarter.

We have presentations due Monday (and Tuesday possibly if we don't finish on Monday). Everyone in your group must present it, so please plan out who's going to do what. If possible, can you come to the office (SA201) before 11am to give me a copy of it. I will make a transparency of it for you to use on the Overhead Projecotr in class if you need to.

You must:

Discuss the new ad (Read the new Slogan)
Ask people if they understand the new slogan and then explain it if necessary
Say why you think it's an effective slogan
Read the new desription of the product
Accept questions from students

Each presentation should be between 5 and 10 minutes including questions.

Present it like you are introducing it to your boss and colleagues at a company.

Important things to remember are:

Eye contact: Make eye contact with everyone in the class when you're speaking
Volume: Speak loud enough so eveyone in the class can hear and understand you clearly
Preparidness: Make sure that you are prepared. Also, be prepared to ask questions

And while you're watching the presentation:

Pay attention: This is vital since you will be expected to ask questions afterwards



Please have "Holes" completed by Wednesday.

We'll go over the tests on Tuesday.

Tomorrow's Tests

Wow, you guys did really well on the Reading Proficiency test today. Tomorrow will be grammar and writing (How Fun!!!). I know that all of you are very excited about it; I am, too.
Study Commas, Semicolons, Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Clauses. Don't forget the grammar from the grammar book as well.

Study hard and sleep tight.
