Final Post: 307A, 319B, 321A, 342A, 365B.

Hi there,

There is no final assignment per se. What you need to do is to study really hard for your final test, which will be on Wednesday, November 24, 2010.

This is the bare minimum needed to do your final exam successfully:

GRAMMAR

• Present simple (Positive, negative and questions: I / you / we / they )

• Present simple (Positive, negative and questions: he / she / it )

• Present simple (Frequency adverbs: be + adverb / adverb + verb)

• Present simple (Wh-questions)

• Present simple (yes / no questions and short answers: yes, I do; no, he doesn't)
• Past simple (Be: was / were in positive & negative sentences as well as questions)

• Past simple (Positive, negative and questions: regular verbs)

• Past simple (Positive, negative and questions: irregular verbs)

• Past simple (Wh-questions)

• Past simple (yes / no questions and short answers: yes, we did; no, you didn't)

• Can / Can’t to express ability and permission

PLEASE NOTE: 307A, 319B and 321A also need to study the following topic:

• Adjectives: simple, comparative and superlative forms.

The following are some resources which may give you further practice in the above-mentioned topics.

Lineamientos para la entrevista.

Hola,

Los lineamientos para completar su proyecto final de la entrevista son los siguientes:

Practicar muy bien las preguntas, aprendérselas. Hay que tener cuidado con la pronunciación y entonación de las mismas. NOTA: No se pueden leer las preguntas al momento de hacer la entrevista. Recuerden que este es un proyecto comunicativo y que, generalmente, cuando hablamos, no recurrimos a un script. Si necesitan más sugerencias e ideas sobre cómo llevar a cabo esta tarea, pueden consultar el siguiente enlace: http://homeworktips.about.com/od/sciencefair/a/interview.htm

Deben entrevistar a una persona cuya lengua materna sea el inglés. He aquí una liga en la que aparecen las naciones donde el inglés es lengua oficial:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_English_is_an_official_language

La interacción con su entrevistado(a) es importante, por lo que ustedes pueden y deben intervenir para que la conversación fluya y el proyecto sea verdaderamente comunicativo. En clase repasaremos las técnicas de conversación que pueden utilizar para mostrar acuerdo, desacuerdo, sorpresa, etc.

Una vez que hayan grabado su entrevista, deben subirla a http://www.youtube.com/ con el siguiente título: English Project: tu nombre's interview CCH-Oriente. Por ejemplo: English Project: Abraham's interview CCH-Oriente.

Después de subirla, deben mandar un correo a ingles.cchoriente@gmail.com, indicando el enlace de su entrevista. Por ejemplo: "Hi, this is (your name)! You can find my interview on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_O0XysjRrI". Recuerden que la fecha límite para completar su proyecto es el 21 de noviembre.

Revisaré su proyecto y les daré retroalimentación individual en las últimas sesiones de clase (22-24-29 de noviembre).

Cualquier duda, pueden consultarme en clase.
Saludos,

Prof. Abraham
