First, I want to thank all of you that posted the places that you would like to tour on facebook. It is interesting to hear all of your stories. If you haven't posted, yet please post by tomorrow.
Second, tomorrow we will have class again in room L1132 at 8:30 a.m. I have tried to trust you to come on time and not play on your phones, but some people don't seem to care. We are about two weeks behind where I would like to be, so we need to work hard together to catch up. So, please come on time and keep your phones in your bags and I think we will be fine. The class has about 60-70 students, which makes it difficult to teach if we don't work together as a team. I think this can be a fun course and we can learn something important for your future, but I need your help to make it work. This means that beginning tomorrow I will lock the door, if you come late to class and I will not tolerate phone use in class.
Third, since we are behind, I decided to give you more time to study for the quiz, but I want you there tomorrow. I am thinking to give you a take home quiz which will be due on Monday. I also, want you there tomorrow to discuss changing class times and rooms for the rest of the term. In addition, I have a plan to have you make smaller groups to help you study more effectively. Please, bring Unit 2, your article about Thai Smile Airlines, and your journal.
Remember, if you have any questions, I am happy to talk with you. I want you to learn some important things in this class that will help you to live your dreams. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Some of the students who are always late include:
It is not sad, just don't come late and laugh about it. I like you all in my class. I think if I were a Thai teacher you probably wouldn't do the same thing, na!
