MIDTERM EXAMS :)

Hi Everyone! :)

First of all, I would like to thank our representatives for the Essay Writing and the Reading Challenge. :D You all did well. ;)

Next, the following will be the schedule of our classes this coming week. For sections I and N, I am arranging some make-up classes for us so we can cope with the schedule I initially set for us. We have to do this because: for section N, we did not meet in class the previous week (Monday - Mass at Fort Pilar for Cory Aquino; Wednesday - Holiday); and for section N, we did not meet last Wednesday.

Tuesday, August 11 (class period): LONG QUIZ and Short Exercise on Skimming and Scanning
Thursday, August 13 (class period): First Part of MIDTERM EXAM on Skimming and Scanning

I sent you an email (EMAIL ME IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE ONE: lei.labrador@gmail.com) I attached a review material for your consumption (especially on Modes of Paragraph Development). READ and PRACTICE on your own. This is just an ADD-ON to your study. Do not JUST focus on this. I expect you to study the handouts we used and discussed in class.

Do well! :)
