Kompetenzerweiterung I (Wednesday Group), Homework for November 9th

 In preparation of next Wednesday's session (11/9), please do the following:

- complete the exercises (i.e. A-J) for Unit 17 and read the grammar details for Unit 17 (pp. 138-139). Please consult the key at the back of the book to check your work AFTER you have given the exercises a go on your own. Bring any questions you have regarding rules/these solutions with you to next Wednesday's session.

- read pp. 186-187 of Unit 23 and do exercises A-D on pg. 188-189 (then self-check your answers). Bring any questions you have with you our next session. 

- read through the explanations on the "verbs commonly used in passive voice" sheet distributed in class (and uploaded to Ilias as "Grammar for CAE and CPE verbs commonly used with the passive explanation") and complete exercises 1 and 3 on the back side (also uploaded to Ilias as "Grammar for CAE and CPE verbs commonly used with the passive exercises"). 

- read a review of a film, album or book (you can find reviews on Culture | The Guardian and on the NY Times (the TH has a subscription, but you need to be logged into the VPN in order to access it)) and assess the review using the following categories: 1) word choice, 2) details/examples, 3) sentence structure, 4) paragraph structure/essay organization, 5) thesis statement (is there a main "take-away" from the review?). Bring this review with you to class (either printed out or in an electronic form). 

- watch at least one of the videos from Amoeba Records "What's in my bag?" series Amoeba - YouTube and observe/take notes on how they present their picks. Then, select 3-5 books/films/albums that you will present to your group in a similar fashion (i.e. hopefully being so convincing that your group will want to check that media out) in class next Wednesday. Try to bring the physical copies of the books/films/albums if you can.
