I lost it, and 2.) I kind of want to do something that is tailored to the readings they've got in the book. No sense in learning that "here" is a hostile army if you're never going to see the word.Dr. Richard Scott Nokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348275071082514870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-32919400562247764532008-07-31T13:31:00.000-05:002008-07-31T13:31:00.000-05:00Hi Scott, I haven't done my own vocabulary except ...Hi Scott, <BR/><BR/>I haven't done my own vocabulary except from the learner side, since as you know most grammars (I learned from Mitchell and Robinson and Quirk) do not give vocab, and being on the market and all I've given a lot of thought to how I want to do this for my own OE classes should I ever have the pleasure.....<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what I'd do is start on the first with short vocabulary lists. Begin like Subsidia 21 does with modern English words that come from Anglo-Saxon, the first couple of lists can begin there, the first one with words that have been fairly stable over time, the second of familiar words whose meanings have changed and then move into vocab lists built on the exercises you'll be having them do in Week 3 and build from there.<BR/><BR/>Naturally you'll want to go light on the vocab during the period where there are loads of forms to memorize. My own idea was to take some of the words I'd already given them, like say cyning, and give them words from the same root and/or some of the more important synonyms, so for example the words for leader, king, chief.<BR/><BR/>As you move toward the Minitexts, then more vocabulary should be given directly from those, before they actually have to translate.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that was my idea.....such as it is.theswainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919025515524894537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-85906281365203304212008-07-31T10:00:00.000-05:002008-07-31T10:00:00.000-05:00OK, the schedule is CORRECT.

The reason for confusion is that Fall registration begins the 11th (and also first day of classes in the county schools).<BR/><BR/>I checked, double-checked, and confirmed.

Is this project going to be a personal project or a group project? <BR/><BR/>Given that you don't have anything listed for the 12th of August, am I to believe that the semester starts Wednesday the 13th, and not Monday the 11th as I previously thought? Does this mean I have two extra days of freedom?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
