Level 100 - We started with a warm-up discussion activity about "Favorite things." We then briefly reviewed the "Classroom English" and "Introductions" sections of the textbook (pp. 12-13), then moved on to the "Listening" and "Conversation" practice sections on p. 14. 

For Homework, please complete Exercises A and B on p.15.

Level 300 - We had a class discussion about "Reality TV." We didn't get through too much of the text other than covering the Preview section on p.1 and talking about the 4 shows mentioned in the reading. 

For homework, please prepare some sentences answering the questions: "Why do you think reality TV shows are so popular with a) audiences and b) TV production companies. Also, please review the class reading on pp.3-4 and highlight or underline any words or phrases you're unsure about, and be ready to discuss them next week.

Level 400 - We started off with an in-depth discussion about "Employment Issues" to tie in with Chapter 1's theme. We watched the video clip several times, covering sections 1-4 (Vocab Check, Listening, Video Script Cloze activity and Comprehension Check), and covered some vocab and assorted related questions that came up during these exercises.

For homework, please do the reading on p. 4 of the book, as well as Part 1 - "Vocabulary Check", in preparation for discussion next week.
