Week 10

Another week gone by. This week we finished the activities and contents related to humor and stand up comedy. here's the last clip we watched in class about euphemisms:





On Wednesday and Friday we continued with your class presentations and finally on Friday we started a new topic on telephone fraud, which we will finish on Monday. On Monday, Katie will be back to visit our classroom and she will bring an activity to review and close the subject of American humor. 

On course management, here is the update of the entries recorded in the extensive listening form. With this list you can keep track of which and how many videos you have already done. I'd like to highlight that by this date you should have, on average, around 12 to 14 entries on record. This is not always the case. 

Finally, I have already updated the options for the speech assignment. You can check the updated guidelines here. 

Week 8 & 9

Week 8 we basically had the presentations from the first and second round of “The music of one generation”. I was very pleased to see the diversity of songs selected and the effort put by each presenter to do a great job.

Week 9 was a holiday, Easter, so we did not have class. This is a good time for some of you to catch up with the extensive listening activities. It is also a good time to remind you that along the semester you have to reflect on three of thesuggested topics, record and upload your reflection as a podcast and send it to me. Very few people have started this and from those who have already submitted a reflection, most have just done the first. We are in the middle of the semester. Don’t wait till the last weeks.
