Level 100: 

We started off with a conversation about TV and viewing habits. Then we
reviewed the homework from last week (Comprehension Questions), and then the
students worked in pairs to discuss the Critical Thinking questions on p.36 of
the "Blowfish" handout from What a World 1. 

For homework, I asked students to do the Writing section (about a special
Japanese dish) on p. 37

Level 200: 

We started off with an Opinion Topic discussion that the students seemed to
really enjoy. We then finished up Chapter 11, the students practicing making
appointments in different situations; also we completed the workbook handout
for Ch. 11. We also reviewed colloquial uses of "gimme" and
"lemme" on p. 27.

Homework: Study and complete part 1, Vocabulary, for Ch. 12,　p. 28.

Level 300: 

Students presented their speeches that I asked them to do prepare for last
week's homework, about various environmental topics. They all did a great job.
Then we reviewed the Collocation Sets and Extra Expressions sections in Ch. 6,
and finally went over the answers for the Crossword for that chapter... 

Homework for next week: I was under the impression that we were skipping the
"Aliens" unit so asked them to review the vocabulary for Ch. 8,
"History" on p. 50.

Level 400: 


We reviewed the video a few times in class and went over the answers for
sections IV and V in Ch. 9, "Happy Meals Target Kids". The bulk of
the class was taken up with great, detailed group discussions of the Discussion
Questions section of that chapter. We finished the chapter with a quick cover
of part VIII, "Conversation in Action."



Homework: Review the homework and do part II from Ch. 10,"Internships,"


for next week.
