Resumen
We talked about significant dates around this time of year in Mexico. You handed in your take-home quiz and the paragraphs (Activity 8). We worked on the activity "Personas famosas" (p. 25 en Convivencia), and started to talk about Learning Reports (#1 due on Friday of this week). In the 9:05 class we started to look at quotations I took from your responses to the chart about language learning and the growth mindset (p. 6-7 in Convivencia). The reason for discussing your responses to the chart is that these ways of thinking about language learning will directly impact the decisions you make in your learning reports. On Thursday we will continue discussing any questions you have about learning reports. On Thursday the 12:15 class will also look at their responses to the chart.
La tarea para el jueves
1) The 9:05 class should finish reading the handout with your responses to chart on pp. 6-7.
2) Re-read the guidelines for the Learning Reports (last page of your syllabus, also on page 5 of Convivencia). Make sure you can find where to post your learning report on Blackboard (go onto Blackboard, and find the place).
3) Read page 29 in Convivencia, and do the activity on page 30 called "en una fiesta de bienvenida estudiantil."
4) Be prepared for an in-class closed book quiz on: nationalities, occupations, numbers 1 to 100, a review of greetings and presentations. Use the Quizlet sets to practice (all links are below).
