Lesson 3: (April 24)
In Class
- News Hour: Read the “Colombian Woman Stands In for Baby Monkey’s Mother” News for You article and completed the True/False questions from the Teacher’s Guide. Afterwards we had a discussion about everyone’s pet history and heard a funny story about one student’s pet birds.
- Homework Check-in: Changed this up, met with students 1-on-1 to go over their homework and clear up any confusion individually.
-
NorthStar 2 R&W: First I read the passage aloud to the class, then individual students read paragraphs out loud and I corrected their pronunciation. One of the paragraphs had a year, which led to a discussion about pronouncing numbers and years, the notes are below (next week I will make a handout for us to go over these again):
//pronouncing numbers 137 one hundred and thirty-seven one-thirty-seven 106 one hundred and six one-o-six //pronouncing years 1950 = nineteen fifty 2000 = two thousand 2009 = two thousand and nine 2010 = twenty ten 1900 to 1999 = twentieth century 2000 to 2099 = twenty-first century BC = Before Christ = Before Year 0 = BCE = Before Common Era AD = After Death = After Year 0 = CE = Common Era
- Prepare for quiz 1: Students worked in teams to develop review questions and quiz the other teams. I incorporated their questions into the Quiz 1 study guide (download .odt file from danoff.org)
