CLASS #3 (September 30, 2005)

Hello Students:

Thank you for being such a good class. Please remember that your homework is to read over all of Unit One and to look over the entire textbook and become familiar with its format and the CD that came with the book.

You should listen to the CD several times, at least once a day for three or five minutes. Also, the DVD is important for later parts of the class; we will discuss this. Remember not to violate copyright rules.

Please keep practicing the step-up and step-down methods we discussed in class. We will be doing an activity related to 'what I did this weekend' next week.

Thank you and please remember to come to class on time and prepared. ;-)

Dr. J.
