Welcome back my dear students

اهلا و سهلا برجوعكم اعزائي الطلاب

I hope you had a fun and restful break. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

No class today

Dear Students,

I'm not sure what it looks like in Durham, but it's pretty bad here in Amherst. I will not risk taking the hour long drive on a day like this.I hope that you can understand. Please count on being there tomorrow. We will wrap up the presentations, then move on with a regular class.

There are only three students, who were absent yesterday, left to present. Your papers were due yesterday. Every day they're late, you will lose credit. Please find a way to email those to me as soon as possible.

Ragistration for Arabic 402

Dear students in Arabic 401:

Those of you that have not registered for Arabic 402, and would like to do so, you may go ahead. We have fixed the issue with the registrar's office, and I have given my special permission to all my students from 401 to register.

Oral Presentations

اعزائي الطلاب في 401:

Please use your textbook as a guide when you write your presentation. Follow all the grammatical rules you've learned thus far, and make sure that your spelling is correct. Don't forget to use short vowels, and other markers when necessary. Practice a lot with peers and in front of a mirror :)In your at least one paragraph piece, you will tell me and the class about yourself. That can include your family, your friends, your neighbor, things you do and they do, your house, your town.....Though you're not required to memorize it, please feel free to do so. It will help your grade.

Please check the previous blog for instructions on how to prepare for class on Tuesday.

اعزائي الطلاب في 503:

Please use your textbook as a guide when you write your presentation, as if this were a take-home exam. You need to use good and correctly spelled vocabulary. Make sure you follow the grammatical rules, and use a good variety of those rules to produce a well written piece. It should be no less than a page long. Though you are not required to memorize it, you are encouraged to, and that will help your grade. You may bring cue cards if you wish. Please make me a separate copy to read along. The theme is an "experience". It could be something that happened to you, or someone else, or even something you anticipate happening.
