- Test 3, Friday, 11:00, in the lab. The test will cover Chapter 5 (Slavery) and Chapter 6 (U.S. History through Film).
- Movie Presentations, Monday and Tuesday. We will draw from a hat on Monday to decide the day on which groups will present. I will be in my office tomorrow if you have any questions.
- Reviewed Listening Test 2. You will be able to see this score on Micrograde by Friday afternoon. If you have other questions about the test, come see me in my office on Friday.
- Practiced the pronunciation of past tense endings.
- Studied the box, Verbs Ending in -ed, p. 185, Student CD, Track 38. The -ed ending makes one of three sounds depending on the final sound (not letter) in a word. For example, the final letter in walk is k and the final sound is /k/. In contrast, the final letter in voice is e but the final sound is /s/. Use the sound to choose the pronunciation of -ed.
- Completed Ex. A, Hearing Verbs Ending in -ed, p. 186, Student CD Track 39.
- Completed Ex. C, Pronouncing Verbs Ending in -ed, p. 186, Student CD Track 41.
- Discussed how Americans often show disagreement with intonation. They say that they agree, but their intonation and body language tell you that they don't. When they don't really agree, they say the last word more slowly.
- Read the box, Showing Disagreement with Intonation, p. 188, Student CD, Track 42.
- Completed Ex. F, Understanding Intonation, p. 188, Student CD Track 43.
