Final Week

Hi students! This is the final week of our class. I just finished grading your final exams, and they were much better than the midterms.
You guys did a great job this semester. This class was really hard, and you didn't give up. I saw a lot of improvement in your listening skills, and that was the goal of the class.
I hope you have a great vacation, and please keep in touch with me. :)

Final Homework

Congratulations students, this is your final homework of the semester. Most of you have done an excellent job with the homework.
For this homework, you should look on a website that has news videos. Some examples are Yahoo News, CNN News, and MTV News.

1) Choose a video that is interesting to you, and listen to it a couple times.
2) Make a Yes/No chart about the video, similar to page 126. You should have about 5 questions.
3) Post the link to your video and your chart on this website by next Thursday.

Week 12 Overview/Week 13 Intro

Hey guys, in week 12 we studied how to answer Ordering Questions. These questions usually ask you about the steps in a process. For example, what happened first, next, finally, etc. These questions might also ask you to rank 3 or 4 things, like we talked about in class.
This week, we will talk about matching questions and completing charts. This is the last topic we will study before the final exam.
Here are the two presentations since the midterm exam. The first one is about replay questions, the second about ordering questions. There will be questions from these presentations on the final exam.

Replay Questions
Ordering Questions

See you all on Friday!

Week 11 Overview

In week 11, we began to study ordering questions. You guys did a great job with the class activity of writing directions for other students to follow. That was a lot of fun. In week 12, we will continue to study ordering questions as well as matching questions.
The semester is coming quickly to an end. Keep working hard! There are only about 3 or 4 more weeks until the final exam.
Finally, here is the video that we watched in class, I hope you enjoy it.



Have a great week, and I will see you guys next Friday! :)

Homework 5

For this homework, I want you to find a movie/TV scene that you like and make a replay question. You can use Youtube or another site that has videos.

When you make a comment, copy the link and write your question with 4 possible answers. As always, homework is due by Thursday at 10pm.


Have fun!
