Plan   
Except for the first theme chosen by the instructor, the students will choose themes.

Most class time will be used for activities involving spoken and written English. A few of these will be related to how to use language, but most will be theme-focused. They may involve reading, summarization, discussion, and research. Often, part of the activity will be assigned as homework. Whenever possible, these activities will involve students working together.

Students will keep a journal in which they answer questions related to the current theme. I will collect these journals every few weeks and respond to what the students have written.

Each student will write one argumentative essay and give one presentation based on the content of the essay. The topic should be related to one of the themes we have used in class. Students will also video-record two discussions for active learning.

Week 1 (4/6): Theme 1: Stereotypes; first journal assignment (J1)
