Friday NO HOMEWORK! Study Sheet

"What's this?  No homework?  C'mon John!!! "

Strange, but I didn't hear anybody say this after class.

You have no homework.  No essay (unless you start preparing your project/essay which is due on Oct. 14, which would be a great idea!), only one little study sheet, which is barely over one page!

But do study the focus points in Unit 12 1-6 well.  We didn't do focus 8, which I regret, but we can talk a little about that after the test.

So have a great weekend.  And if you're free tonight, Jason is back in town and invites you to have dinner with him and Abdulaziz around 7:00.  We're not sure where yet, but if you're not busy, call Abdulaziz at the number he left on the board today.  Or send me an email at jfzkaplan13@yahoo.com and I'll tell you what I've found out.

For the test, study the vocabulary on the study sheet, especially the listening, which we didn't do today, but will do anyways.  I'll make the questions brief and general; needless to say, I'll play the recording twice.

And here's the list:
