Workbook: Lessons 1-5, Grammar points #1-#14 (basic,
important grammar)
-Review the grammar points and come with any questions you may
have. There are answers to most of the Workbook exercises
in the back (starting on page 335), so you can check your understanding
of the grammar points this way if you like. There is also an
interactive grammar available. If you would like to work on
these exercises, you can go to the main menu for them by clicking
here.
Written Assignment:
Print the following (available on Dokeos>Documentos>Worksheets)
and do as many exercises as you can in one and a half to two
hours. Be sure to work on each grammar point, even if you don't
finish all the exercises for some of them. I recommend that
you do a few in each exercise, and then go back and do more
if you have time, rather than finishing all of one exercise
before moving on. Bring these to class. For this time only,
you may work together on these sheets, but in the future, all
Worksheets may be graded assignments and you should neither
receive nor give specific answers.
Worksheet 1
Worksheet 2
Worksheet 3
