ESL SIX CLASSES 3 AND 4, WEEKEND HOMEWORK

Hello Students:

Thank you to all the students who were determined to fulfill their credits in the following areas:

A)  Article Reading entitled, "Mick's Toughest Inning," by Cathy Burke. (from the New York Post).  Recall this article's content where two points of view were stated.  One from reporter Cathy Burke, and quotes excerpted from former Colorado governor named Richard L.  Remember the controversial issue.  For example, on one hand, Burke's view is that everyone is entitled to get the help they need, whereas L's
view is that you can only get help if your chances of survival are good, you are young, and your treatment is not that costly, and according to his Oregon Health Plan, in the end, a computer decides who should get first priority.

B)  Remember that in class, you took your point of view and stated what your thoughts were.  You have very strong opinions that lead to not easy answers of who should get help first.  Your notes should be posted in your journal and dated (March 14th/15th).

C) Recall --we focused on vocabulary and brainstormed different ways in which to know the words.  Read the following list to know this final project assessment.

1st--Discuss word with group on the meaning of the word
2nd--Brainstorm different ways in which to use the word in different forms (Parts of Speech)--Further discussion with teacher is OK.
3rd--Underline and label each word with a PS symbol (N), (V), (Adj) and/or (Adv)
4th -- Research pictures that best illustrate your sentences.
5th--Design a tableau that best shows your words.
6th--Write a dialogue that best expresses your words.
7th--Present your all of your work as a group (words includes--poster, tableau, and dialogue)

Last-- at the end of the lesson, be prepared to "Share Out" a question that might look like this:
"What was today's focus?"


In all, what is this weekend's homework:

*Research pictures that will better help your group presentation for only the word (row) that your and your group choose
*Think about a tableau that you and your group can show--be prepared to discuss with your group.
*Be prepared to work with your group in creating dialogue.

Monday, March 21st is when you return to class.  Remember the routine:

1st--Get ready for class --bags, jackets off the table (no juice or colored water)
2nd--Open journal -- notes -- and copy and do HOTS
3rd--Be prepared to discuss HOTS
4th--Listen for CO and LO
5th--Listen for further directions

  2. Tableaus are stemmed from your group's work (so, yes, your and your group are showing what it "looks like").
