Goldilocks Planet Lessons


Here is a link to part 1 of the lesson on 2/4/13, which emphasizes READING. We started off this class by working on an integrative writing test and working on self-evaluation for common grammatical errors. Next we worked from this handout to determine the meanings of vocabulary words from the reading passages. Finally we worked from these passages to answer TOEFL-style questions based on the passages. Homework for this class includes:

  1. Complete passage 2 and answer the questions
  2. Compose five vocabulary sentences using any five words from the lesson
  3. Revise any returned essays (arts funding)
Here is the link to part 2 of the lesson, which emphasizes LISTENING from 2/5/13. Today in class we composed two integrative essay tasks and discussed the materials from yesterday. We also worked on listening exercise 1. You can find a link to the transcript and podcast from class on the discovery of Gliese581g here. We also started our comprehensive review of the parts of speech by focusing on types, functions, and applications of Nouns. You can find a link to this packet here. Homework for class today includes:
  1. Go to my blog and listen to the following recorded lecture here Then compose a simple paragraph summary of the lecture
