There was no class yesterday. Today, I continued with review for the final test over 7 and 8. Students had questions over demonstrative adjectives and pronouns, IOPs and DOPs, and the various meanings and uses of hacer (time and weather). Students with fewer questions studied, completed their homework (I told them we'd be collecting all hw on the last day of class), and practiced with the self-test (p. 234-237).
Kenyatta gave the only presentation. He read a article from a Peruvian newspaper aloud and translating it into English paragraph by paragraph. Charlie and Paul could not attend class today, so they did not give their presentation. Vinh said he'd be prepared to give his tomorrow.
At the end of class, a few students felt prepared but most wanted more time to review. Perhaps it'd be best to finish the presentations and respond to final questions tomorrow before administering the test on Thursday. Students also asked about a cheat sheet. While I am leaning towards a "no" (it is the final, after all), I told them I'd consult the other teachers and we'd have a response for them tomorrow. I also mentioned that preparing a study aid, even if they could not use it on the test, would help them prepare.
I'd be happy to help with grading the exam. It may be a good idea for the teachers still around to get together early next week to determine grades so we're not too late in getting them to Jody and Jennifer.
Thanks, and have a good end to the semester!
