Grades

Come to the office SA201 tomorrow at normal class time to get your grades.

Russ

Tomorrow

We'll go over the tests tomorrow. Nice job with presentations today.

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.

Russell

Tuesday

So, tomorrow will be a Reading Proficiency Test. You know the routine.
We will start it at 12:05 so don't be late.

I think a lot of you neglected to finish the reading assignment. Tsk Tsk! Please finish the book by next Wednesday.

Goodnight.

Russ

Sunday

Well, tomorrow we'll work on HOLES and review for the tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please have questions ready if you're still confused about anything.
The reading test will be on Tuesday and the Grammar test will be on Wednesday. Bring in your Bluebooks tomorrow.

Russ

Thursday

Tomorrow is the SLEP test. We'll review for the final on Friday, we'll also do Holes that day.

Goodnight.

Russ

Tuesday's Lesson

Well, There will be a lot of brainstorming and research needed in order to be successful with this assignment. Familiarizing yourself with some useful idioms or expressions will help you as well. You will need to be flexible with your grammar use, as well, in order to write a creative and coherent advertisement for your product. Tomorrow, I need to see some ideas from everyone. Make sure that everyone is contributing equally. Remember, tomorrow is "Holes" day, so read the assigned pages.
I will had back vocabulary notebooks back tomorrow and I will try to hand back your papers ASAP. Remember that Thusrday will be the SLEP test so do come to class on time (and go to bed early Wednesday night).

I think that's it for now.

Russell

I almost forgot...

I forgot; submit your vocabulary lists on Tuesday.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend homework includes the following:

"Holes" pp. 127-165 for Wednesday
Complete the "Commas" worksheet

There will be a SLEP test on Thursday, so don't miss that day.
Have a good weekend. I might post something else this weekend, but it won't be additional homework.

I don't imagine that any of you will need to meet me to study anything this weekend, but if you do, I'll probably have some time Sunday morning.

Russell

Please don't hate me. I'm the teacher.

Russ

;D

OK, we will be having a "little" HOLES quiz tomorrow. Don't panic! Panic, do not. It should be fairly easy; it will require you to think, though.

There isn't mush time left in the quarter. We have this week. Next week is only 4 days long. Then the next week is finals week, which is only 3 days long. We only have 9 more days of instruction before finals! It's scary. It's too short. I want about 16 more weeks. Don't you feel the same way? Don't you want 16 or 52 more weeks with me? Yea, me too.

Did everyone move their clocks back an hour? If you haven't yet done so, please do it now.

Daylight's Savings Time

Please remember that today is Daylight Savings Time is today. It means, turn your clocks back '1-hour'.
So, it's not 9:34 - it's 8:34.

It looks pretty cold outside.

Goodnight.
