ESL Reading. Revised Calendar: Weeks 3 and 4

Week 3:

Friday, Sept. 14: Finish reading “Dangers in shopping,” if you haven’t finished it and hand in your answers to ex. A and B, p. 11 if you didn’t hand them in Wednesday. We’ll discuss the questions in ex. C, p. 11 in class.

Also hand in the Lab Assignment #2, your summary and vocabulary list from reading a magazine article or two newspaper articles in the library. This is due TODAY!!

If you did not have A or A- on the quiz, please write out corrections. You can also write original sentences with any of the vocabulary words you missed for some extra points. Hand these in with the quiz today or Monday, Sept. 17. If you still have questions on the quiz, please make an appointment to see me in my office hour or sometime when we are both free.

I will be in the library from 2:30 to 3:30 Friday to help with the blog access, etc.

Preparation for Friday’s class:

Do the Before You Read at the top of p. 13. Scan the reading to see which statements are true according to the author of the reading.

Read the whole article on p. 12 and try to answer A and B, p. 13, on your homework paper. Also list at least 6 words in the reading that you had to look up in the dictionary and write down their meanings. If you determined their meanings from the context, list the “hints” that helped you.

In class: We will go over p. 13 that you have prepared. We will also discuss the questions in C. (You may prepare answers to these if you wish, before class, but not required.)
