Thanksgiving Day

 

Tuesday, Oct 14

First day of registration for Nov quarter

I will explain how to register on that day.

 

 

Wednesday and Thursday-

I will give you midterm recommendations for November term.

We will have a brief meeting at my desk.

Half the class Wednesday; half the class Thursday.

We will look at your marks so far:

Quizzes1-4 x/6

Test1           x/12   x/6 DOUBLED x/12

RW              1 pt each

Spoken 1    x/10

 

MARK         %

 

I will tell you which level you should register for next quarter.

This is all based on the PLOS.

ORAL “engage in conversation”   clearly express ideas and feelings”

WRITING “communicate meaning by using conventions of language” “simple and compound sentences” “past, present and future tenses, including simple and progressive”

 

If you are ready for the next level, you will get a recommendation for the next level.

If you are not yet ready for the next level, you will get a recommendation to stay at this level.

If you are late and absent often, or if you inactive in class, you might have to have a meeting with an advisor to discuss your options at SHEC.

Often people will stay in a level one, two, maybe three times. It takes time to learn new language.

 

I want you to win!

We want you to win!

We all want to have success.
