1. Tuesday, September 1

2. Agenda http://www.mtsac.edu/llc http://www.mtsac.edu/llc/funfactvideos/eslvideos.html Reading Strategies Pronunciation Grammar Unit 3 continued

3. Announcements Tomorrow will be a busy day. We will take our reading quiz tomorrow, as well as CASAS. On Thursday, we have our test on Units 1-3

4. Reading strategies Sometimes when we read, it is very difficult to understand what the author is saying. What happens if you don’t know a word? Do you need to know every word to understand the reading passage?

5. Here are some things that will make it easier for us to understand what we are reading. Look at the word. What part of speech (grammar form) is the word? Ex. The earthquake was a huge disaster. adjective noun The dog barked. It alarmed me! verb

6. The most important parts Do you need to know all the words in a sentence to understand the message? No, it is not necessary. Ex. In spite of this success, Basho became unhappy. What is the most important part of this sentence? In spite of this success, Basho became unhappy. What is the meaning?

7. Content words Some words have more meaning than other words. Basho was a restless young man, and he moved around for several years. I’m feeling very comfortable here now. Nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs all carry meaning.

8. Retell the story Sometimes to see if you understand the story, it is important to tell the story to others. Let’s practice this with two different readings. Students in the front tables, read An Extraordinary Woman (pp. 6) Students in the back tables, read Living Without Email (pp. 10) Once you have read the story, write a 1-3 sentence summary of the story. You will then tell another student the story using your 1-3 sentence summary.

9. Louis' Lunch A Local Legacy Louis' Lunch A Local Legacy Do you love hamburgers? Do you know how they were created?The first hamburgers in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis' Lunch sandwich shop in 1895. Louis Lassen, founder of Louis' Lunch, ran a small lunch wagon selling steak sandwiches to local factory workers. Because he didn't like to waste the excess beef from his daily lunch rush, he ground it up, grilled it, and served it between two slices of bread - - and America's first hamburger was created. The small Crown Street luncheonette is still owned and operated by third and fourth generations of the Lassen family. Hamburgers are still the specialty of the house, where steak is ground fresh each day and hand molded, slow cooked, broiled vertically, and served between two slices of toast with your choice of only three "acceptable" garnishes: cheese, tomato, and onion. Want ketchup or mustard? Forget it. You will be told "no" in no uncertain terms. This is the home of the greatest hamburger in the world, claim the owners, who are perhaps best known for allowing their customers to have a burger the Lassen way or not at all.
