Students please read reading # 62 for homework. You are just reading for general comprehension. We will be having a scanning and skimming quiz tomorrow on this reading so you do not need to take notes or try to memorize anything from the reading.
Thanks

Weekend Homework
Students, I will not be in class on Thursday 1.27.11. We will be having a presentation, do a reading and a listening and if we have time we will do a speaking.
Your homework is to do something similar to what we did with homeostasis. You are going to take what you learned from the reading in class (#41) and the Listening (#5) (all of these are in your packet, so missing class is not an excuse to not do the assignment). You will be doing a voice recording of you giving a summary of what you learned. It shouldn't be very long 1-2 minutes is just fine. Hopefully, you will have time to practice in class with a partner. This activity will help you synthesize information which is a valuable skill for university studies and is something that you will need to do in your future courses.
News Report # 3 is also due on Monday before class (every Monday there is one due, feel free to send early if that is easier).
Also read #42,43,44,45 for general comprehension. At the end of each reading write a couple sentence summary (not long sentences) just the main points. I will be checking to see if you wrote a summary. So you should have at least 8 sentences written on Monday for credit (2 sentences each reading)

Homework Due Monday 1/24
Student's don't forget to do your homework for Monday.
News Report # 2 is due by email to me before the beginning of class. Please use wmp or the www.vocaroo.com site. Remember it should be on a science topic and should be around 1.5-2.5 minutes long.
Reading # 27, 28 and 29. There will not be a quiz on these readings because we wont have time on Monday, however please read them for comprehension and to learn new vocabulary. The video we will be watching on Monday is related to the immune system so these readings will serve as background knowledge.
I updated your grades and will be sending out an email with your number. Please do not forget your number. A number of you have not been turning in homework assignments and you will see that this has greatly affected your grade.
See you Monday
