Class #6 Time

Today your first Reflection grades will be returned to you. Most of you did very well. Some of you are still giving simple, vague answers. Please give reasons for your opinions. Also at the top bar of the new post screen is a button labeled ABC with a check. This is a spelling check option and I suggest all use it to correct their posts! Some students did not answer the comments on their blogs! This is also important! Everyone must read and comment on Alexis' blog!http://akaiccc.blogspot.com/ It is very good and is a great model for what I want in your answers!

Today's class is about the different concepts of time in different cultures. For homework, please answer the following in your blog:

1. Please explain a time proverb in your culture.

2. What do the following proverbs mean:

a. Time is money.

b. A stitch in time saves nine.

c. There's no time like the present.

d.Let's meet at 4. If I'm not there by 5, leave without me at 6, and I'll be there at 7.

Next class's topic is about superstitions. The groups for Germany and Egypt will be presenting. As preparation for the class, think of 2 superstitions that you believe in. Be prepared to tall the class why you believe in them!
