2012 AEP 2 & 3 Homework Reminder
Homework:
A. Study for a quiz on Monday, which will include chapter 10 and the following sentence combining PPTs. Make sure you have drilled the SC aloud many, many times. The quiz will be easy if you can quickly and spontaneously produce the correct combined sentence, so the best way to study is with the PPTs. For Chapter 10, study the PPT also; read the explanations in the book.
B. Go through the vocabulary list handout (Academic Word List - AWL on two pages). Highlight the words you don't know, and look them up. Your handout should be marked up with highlighting and definitions of words you don't know or don't know well enough. If you lost it, here it is: AWL on 2 pages: http://cl.ly/DHyn
