Sentences on the board (you should memorize them so that you can remember how these words-that-sound-the-same [homophones] are used:
Two cups of coffee are not too many to have each day.
They're drinking their coffee over there.
After the test, there was a discussion of pages 94 and 95, especially the chart ("activate schemata" for example)
Discussion of "Concept Preps" from page 6 (I think) of the syllabus---
Concept Preps
Throughout your textbook, ten short Concept Preps are included to
introduce you to key concepts in different academic areas. You will be
responsible for reading six of these independently throughout the
semester and completing the questions which follow. (Choose the topics that
interest you.) You will keep your
written answers to the Concept Preps in your folder/portfolio. Your folder will
be turned in two weeks before the end of the semester.
Start now!!!
Homework:
We will start Powers on Friday. You should read chapters 1 and 2 (pages 1-60) by Monday.
