- Bring your book for Monday!!!
- Be sure that you've signed up for an interview. I've posted the schedule in the right column of this website. (The list is also posted on my office door if you need to make changes.) The purpose is to get to know you and discuss your diagnostic scores. In addition, you can ask any questions that you have. You should come to my office, room 254.
Classwork
- Wrote a 30-minute essay on the following topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Modern technology is creating a single world culture. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. Followed this schedule: 0-5 min, brainstorm and outline; 5-25 min, write by starting with your thesis statement and body paragraphs. Write your introduction and conclusion last; 25-30 min, check your grammar, especially your spelling. Many of you are typing so fast that your letters get mixed up. If you were absent, type the essay in TextEdit, print it, and put it in my box.
- Reviewed Questions 21-34 on Part 2 of the predicate exercises.
Homework
Due Monday
- Practice Quiz. Use the list of patterns (without examples) that I gave you in class today. Don't use any other notes. Only use your brain. I won't record your grade, but I want to find out how much you understand.
Due Friday, September 30
- Draft 3 of Task 1 (What can governments do to encourage technological invention?). You rewrote this task on Wednesday, September 21 in the lab and I gave you feedback today. Revise according to that feedback (which is the top draft in your pile of drafts for this task). You can find the original in Classes/Gigger/Linguistic Accuracy/9.21.11/YourName/10-Minute Paragraph. This is the final draft for this task, and you should turn it in with Task 2 and the cover sheet by Friday, September 30 at 12:00.
