Welcome back!
I hope you are ready to get down to work, because we have a lot to do this semester!
In class yesterday we talked about our plans and expectations for this semester. We have 2 blocks in the classroom and 2 blocks in the laboratory this semester so we will be using the blogs not only for written work but also for some more interactive activities.
I will give you more detailed information about grading for this semester in a future post.
Yesterday we established that we would enforce the 15 minute rule. That is: if you are more than 15 minutes late you will not be allowed to enter the class, and therefore be marked absent.
We discussed having an English Only rule. Where a $10 peso fine will be enforced for those who speak Spanish during class time. We will discuss what to do with the collected money near the end of the semester.
Also, it was requested to have individual oral presentations. We agreed that one student will give a short presentation for each lab class on a topic of their choice. I will be sending round a sign up sheet this week and will post it here once it's been finalized. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
There was also a request to incorporate short story reading into the course. I have some ideas to do some reading activities in the lab class.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
I look forward to doing some fun activities this semester!
Ronda
