Work place phrases: Students wrote sentences asking a hypothetical boss to leave early. Instructor wrote some examples on the board and made connections to last weeks "excuses for being late." Whole class discussed the need for clear assertive language and how this language is often different from formal and "polite" language.
Instructor discussed the successes of some students in writing a paragraph on Rousseau and his grading/marks on all homework. Instructor made it clear that all paragraphs without a check plus" had to be re-written. Also some students were instructed to work directly with a tutor. Corrected paragraphs and Quizzes were returned to students. Common errors on quizzes were explained.
Students practiced pronunciation of 2nd set of common irregular past tense verbs (middle row of half sheet given to students 4 weeks ago). Students then wrote 3 sentences about themselves that answered the following question: What accomplishments did you have in the past year?
Sentences were read and corrected by the instructor and re-distributed to other students. The instructor then explained that each person had the "text" of another student. They have to write a paragraph about that person's accomplishments. They can quote one time but must re-write the other 2 accomplishments/sentences.
