Weekend of January 26-27.

Hello to you all!

I hope you managed to go out for a walk on this beautiful but sunny day.

Here are the assignments for this weekend:

1. NOVEL PROJECT

Read the last section and make questions as usual on some of the important events in this section. As well, think about the ending. Does the section tie up most of the loose ends?

2. BLOGS

Read the Neswpaper articles, summarize and respond to each other.



NEXT WEEK Units:

1. EVOLUTION
We will be working on the Evolution Summaries and some of the exercises at the end of the unit.

2. MALE/FEMALE

3. NOVEL PROJECT

3. LECTURE PROJECT

4. RESEARCH PROJECT


By the way, I have been reading your summaries and must say that you certainly have understood the concept of a summary. However, since this was a first draft there is ofcourse room for improvement in terms of clarification, grammar points and cohesive devices. We'll be working on that on Monday and/or Tuesday.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. There are a lot of colds and the flu going around. Try to be careful: eat well, drink fluids and sleep enough.

See you on Monday,

Lili
