***Identify any misuse of English language in signs in your neighborhood***

 

 

For your 5% of your homework grade, please post anywhere between 3-5 picture with incorrect use of English that you see around your neighborhood.  This assignment is designed to get you to be more aware of your surroundings and also in hopes that we can one day clean up all the incorrect signs around town.  Please add the following information with each picture and POST ON E-CLASS.

 

1. Where was the picture taken?

2. How would you go about getting this sign fixed or who would you tell?

3. What is wrong with the use of English in the picture?

4. Anything else you might want to add such as: was it humorous? embarrassing? etc..

(One student asked if they could critique the English lyrics from K-pop songs.  Anything that is of your interest if fine with me. Just have some fun doing this.)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  The final due date to post will be Week 15 of your class day but please plan ahead and get this done as soon as you can!

 Good luck!

CD ROM Homework

Your CD ROM homework is worth 10% of your final grade. Please attach the Report Sheet on E-class before the due date for each unit. Games & Puzzles are optional. Remember, late homework will not be accepted!

Each section must exceed 80% in order to receive 10/10 points.

If any of the sections fall below 80%, you will only receive 5/10 points.

Good luck!

How to mark participation & lates?

How do I check my participation checks? What do I do if I'm late to class?

PARTICIPATION
Remember it is your responsibility to make sure you check each day for participation check.  You can only get participation checks for the following:

• raising your hand and speaking in front of the WHOLE class.
• answering a question I asked.
• Reading for the class.

In addition to the above one checks each day, you can also get additional participation checks for the following:

• Answering a bonus question.
• Being a part of a winning team

Just remember, each student is capable of receiving a participation check each day. You should strive to get one participation check each day as this is a speaking class.  If you're sitting in class and NOT SPEAKING, then I can't help you. lol

ATTENDANCE
 I will take attendance at the beginning of class and should you come in late after that, it is your responsibility to come put "L" for late and get rid of the "X" that is by you name for absence.

• = here,     X = absent,     L = late

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me during class!  Let's have some fun this semester!!!

***Welcome Back to School***

Welcome back to school everyone!  Hope everyone had a restful vacation recharged with sleep, and quality time with friends and family. I'm excited to learn more about each one of you this semester and am looking forward to having a fun semester with you all. 

Let the fun times begin!
