Read the Course Description and Course Goals sheet and also the Class Policies carefully, and ask any questions you may have.

View video 1 if we didn't do this in class (about half an hour).
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. Do some exercises, or parts of exercises, and check your answers in the back of the Workbook. You should spend up to one hour on this review.

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 Moodle>Worksheets) and do as many exercises as you can in about one hour. 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. You may work together on these sheets, if you wish; the important thing is that you understand the grammar. Come with specific questions if you don't, or if you aren't 100% sure that you do.
