Getting Acquainted

We will use this blog and Google Meet to conduct our classes. I will send you the invite to Google Meet about ten minutes before each class begins.

We will use Top Notch 1: Third Edition. I have photographed the textbook for the students who have not yet purchased it. Please buy it ASAP. I will take attendance. For every hour of class a student misses (is absent from), I will deduct 1% from your final grade. Please attend and participate. 

PART I. We will do this in class. If you do it, I will give you 10/10 for a grade. I will check during our class. The work is on page 5, starting at 3.

PART II: Who uses English, Page 10. Read about the three people and answer the questions with a complete sentence. I will give you another 10/10 for a grade. I will check this during class as well.
