WEEK TWO!

We have a NEW CLASS MEETING TIME: 10:45- 2:45, which will hopefully improve the parking situation. Thank you all for your patience with this very frustrating situation.

THIS WEEK:
1) Please try to find an answer to at least one question you have come up with from reading about Amy Tan. (READING LEADS TO QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS LEAD TO MORE READING....)
Bring the information to the next class.

2) Do the take-home reading assignment and questions.  Bring to the next class.

3) Do the Quia assignment! (Link on top right.) I will be emailing you  a password for Quia so you can log in when you get there. That way, I can see how you do. If you don't understand, please email me!

4) Do the Spelling Practice! (Link on top right.)

5) OPTIONAL: IF YOU CAN, please visit a KCLS library or go the library online kcls.org and view (or check out!) books by Amy Tan or biographies about Amy  Tan.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK..FIND THINGS TO READ ALL AROUND YOU!

Our first assignment

It was great to get the course going today...this is a very motivated and focused class. I am looking forward to helping everyone improve their reading skills.

This week's homework:
1. Read and do the exercises for the Amy Tan handout I gave you. Bring to next class.
2. Check google news 3 times this week, and see if there are any follow-up  or related stories from the list that you created in class. Write short notes about them.
3. Go to the Quia link (upper right on this blog) and do the 2 activities.  One is a vocabulary-building exercise, and the other is a reading skills exercise. (You do not have to log in.)
Also   - If you know anyone else who would like to join the class, have them email me.

As always, email me at any time if you have questions!
