Classwork
  • I returned revisions of your transcripts.
  • In Quest, Chapter 2, p. 32 "Thinking Ahead," we discussed questions 1 & 2.
  • Did a fluency exercise with Prompts B & F. Students brainstormed, then gave their answer to a classmate, first in 2 min, then 1 min 30 sec, and finally in 1 min. This exercise helps you to speak with fewer pauses.
  • Completed the survey on p. 11 with classmates.
  • Practiced saying "close to you," not "close with you."
Homework
  • Record the final draft: Using my notes, revise your transcript. If you need to add more detail or change the order of some sentences, do it. You should have at least 250 words. Then record again. You can read off of your paper. Save the draft in the same place as your other one(s): Classes/Gigger/Summer_2011/Chapter_1/130 or 1215/YourName/FinalDraft. THIS IS DUE BY WEDNESDAY.
  • Prepare for Chapter 2: In Quest, read "Apes & Sign Language," on pp. 33-34. Complete Ex. C Vocabulary Check on p. 34.
