 Weekly Homepage updates

EVERY Wednesday evening I will update our class homepage.

What’s in my weekly homepage updates:

- that week’s Power Point file
- sometimes I will add extra information
- homework reminder
- sometimes I will add answers to the previous week’s
homework
- midterm/final exam review
Sometimes it's not what but HOW we speak
Intonation
Your voice is like a rollercoaster, it goes up and down when you talk.

Monotone = no intonation

UP ENDING
 excitement
 question
 surprise

DOWN ENDING
 fact
 statement
