Semester Homework 3B

Hello SL 3B students,

Here's a hard copy of the homework plan we discussed yesterday.

1 Vocabulary journal: You need to write 10 words that you heard each week in your journal.

2 Computer lab: You need to do the homework assigned on http://www.myenglishlab.com/ You have to spend 10 hours working on the website by the end of the semester in December (the website tracks your usage).
Note: This is been fixed and you're able to do the assigned work now. 

3 Weekly podcast: You need to listen to a short podcast (or short section from a podcast) and answer a few questions about it. This will be assigned every Thursday.

4 Unit Vocabulary Sheet: I'll give you a sheet before each new unit that you need to complete.

5 Textbook exercises: Occasionally, you'll need to complete homework in the textbook. This won't be every day.

6 Read for next unit: Read each unit before we begin it.

7 Unassigned listening: Find something you want to listen to and listen to it regularly. You should be listening to English on the radio, podcasts, or TV every day.

8 Presentation Preparation: There will be two presentations assigned this semester. You will need to prepare for each of them outside of class.

That looks like a lot of work to me. Good luck.
