Tuesday Homework, It's A Wonderful Life

We decided that we're going to quickly go through Unit 14 of Grammar Dimensions  (most of you already know the information in it) and Unit Two of Academic Connections, watch the movie It's A Wonderful Life throughout the week, and take a little quiz on Friday instead of a test on the Monday after the holiday.

Sound good?

Today we talked about "discourse organizers," the expressions that we use to help our readers understand the time relations and importance of our statements.

There's just a little homework: Exercise 2 on page 266.  You'll have to make your own sentences.  We'll check them together in class.

By the way, we started watching the cinema classic "It's A Wonderful Life."  I have the DVD (an old Japanese copy--sorry about the Japanese subtitles!), but it's also available on Youtube.  It may be taken down, so watch it while you can!

Here it is.

By the way, if it's tough to catch everything, there's a script available on the web as well.  Click here to find it.  Maybe while we watch it, you can look at it on your iPhones!
