HOMEWORK #16 ( Due Monday Nov.28)

Dear Students
Hope you have been enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday vacation.   How was the turkey dinner?  How about that sweet potato pie, and cranberry relish?!?!?
 Okay- back to serious work on Monday.
Please remember to review packets  A and B that I gave out in class last week on note-writing.  Some of the activities  in those handouts are "in-class" listening tasks, for which you don't have the tapes , but there is  still some important information about formatting, organizing and outlining  note and abbreviating words - so please read that. We will be doing more test prepartation this week
Also, please bring in the completed Presentation Vocabulary Worksheet.  Those vocabulary words will be on the final .
As always, continue with your Listening Logs. The more you practice , the more prepared for the final you will be.
Take good care....
Susan
