ICR Class 9: Cycle 2 sharing news stories & graded reader 5: Making quick notes in class

Summary:

When you have time this week, please write reflections in your Google Doc to think about your English learning progress. The questions are:

1. How did you participate in class today? Please describe as best you can.

2. What did you learn about your issue? Your speaking pairs issues? 

3. What are your next SMART (simple, manageable, attainable, reasonable, timely) learning goals? 

Homework due uploaded to your Google Drive Shared file on Friday before Class 10 at 1 p.m.: Please upload the pictures of your notes in your Shared Google file under the section “第 9回 Cycle 2 Sharing News Stories & Graded Readers 5.”

In the Spring Semester, you do out-of-class listening (10 times, about two pages each time) and read and talk about a minimum of 8 graded readers from the Chuo Library’s Maruzen eBook Library of graded readers. Please see the links and instructions below. The main thing is to do some homework in every class. You can do it little by little at your own pace.

By note-taking, please feel free to use charts, diagrams, and colors as you like. Then, can you take pictures of them and put them in your shared drive file with me? 

The Steps for the Graded Readers in The Maruzen eBook Library “6 Spring Semester: Downloading and reading e-books” in the links above and below are very important to follow. Please download your book quickly and save it because we can only download one book at Chuo University at a time.

You can also read online here, and with old-fashioned hard copies of the books:

  1. The online selection of stories at A2 level (for pre-intermediate students) in the Reading Zone on the British Council website for ICR students: https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/study-break/graded-reading/a2-graded-reading
  2. Series also in the Maruzen eBooks Library
  • Macmillan Readers – Starter & Beginner levels
  • Cengage Page Turners – levels 2, 3, 4 & 5
  • Cambridge Discovery Readers – levels A1, A1+ & A2

3. Other series:
