lunes 29/sept: in class composition

Para el lunes 29 de septiembre:

-We will be doing the in class composition on Monday. Details are found on Sakai under Study Guides & Assignments / Assignment Details. You should prepare for the composition, but don't go as far as write it before class. You do have to write in class. You can use your textbook, notes and dictionary. I will have extra dictionaries in class if you don't have one.

-Do ILRN as assigned.

-Be sure to finish the weekly lab found on Sakai. The cultural part of this one is done via ILRN and is listed on Monday's due date.

Mon 22/sept: Adjective handout

For Mon. Sept. 22:

-Complete the handout on Adjective agreement and placement. We will go over this in class on Monday. I gave it out in class on Wednesday, but if you weren't here, you can use the link to download a copy.

-Read about verb conjugation on p.57-58.

-Read about possession on p.62-63.

-Do ILRN as assigned.

Don't forget to do the cultural activity from the weekly lab that's due though Sakai on Sunday night, Sept 21st. There is an article, in English, about Latino families and some questions to consider.

Wed 17/sept: Read book pages, do ILRN

For Wed 17/sept:

We still need to finish up with the tener expressions and will be starting to work with the family vocabulary.

-Read pages 43-48 about Tener expressions and adjective placement.

-Read pages 54-59 with the family vocabulary and the regular -AR verbs.

-Do ILRN activities as assigned.

Wed 10/sept - Prep for test review, ILRN activities

For Wed 10/sept:

We will be practicing more with the academic subjects vocab and the two verbs, ser and tener. We will also review in general for the test on Monday. Take a little time to study beforehand so you can bring your questions to class. The study guide is also available now on Sakai. (This link will probably only work if you're already logged into Sakai on the computer.)

Do ILRN activities as assigned.

This week's lab is posted. The only thing you have to turn in for it is a vocab quiz on the academic subjects and a couple of ILRN activities. We will do the rest of the cultural investigation (plan of study comparison) in class on Wednesday. If you are not in class Wednesday, you need to do that activity on  your own to be ready for Monday's test.

Mon 9/8 - weekly lab (part due Sun!), ILRN activities

For Monday, 9/8:

-Be sure to read through the weekly lab on Sakai and do the assignments listed there. You'll see a vocabulary quiz due on Sunday night, a map exercise to bring to class completed on Monday, and references to a couple of ilrn activities.

-Do ILRN activities due for Monday.

Note about ILRN: Activities are set to be due by class time each day. If you do them after class time, ILRN will mark them late. I will manually go in and accept your late work as long as you do it before the one-week deadline set in the syllabus. It is in your best interest to try the ILRN activities at least once before class on the day they're due. That way you'll be more prepared for class.

If  you need another try on an ILRN (computer messed up, really just didn't understand and want to try again, etc.) you need to email me with the particular activity number so I can reset it.
