jueves, el dieciocho de noviembre del dos mil diez

Announcement: Remember, you need to be much more independently responsible for learning this chapter’s vocabulary. We will not have as many days to spend on it as we do with most other chapters.

Announcement: Your upcoming cumulative exam (Monday, Nov. 29th & Tuesday, Nov. 30th) will have seven separate grades:
--1) culture – maps one & two
--2) reading – comprehension ?’s for a story
--3) listening – spelling unknown words, song excerpt, ?’s from a story read aloud
--4) vocabulary – cumulative, but emphasis on ch. 3 words for production
--5) grammar – cumulative – with a significant focus on irregular preterite verbs from our blue packet
--6) speaking – one minute story in the past told aloud to Profe Nick using the pictures provided
