Final Lesson, suggestions

Most of you should know by now exactly what you need to do to earn your final credits. Our last lesson was about the history and features of the University, Suor Orsola Benincasa - you can find information about the university on the website, and write your paragraphs here!

I also asked you to give me some feedback on the course...I will not publish your comments about that, but I promise I will read all of them and take them into account when I teach the course again next year.

As planned, the final 'quiz' for 'frequentanti' will be tomorrow, May 15. I will also check your notebooks (you must have all of your notes and keywords from the lessons) and count the number of absences. Anyone who does not meet the criteria for participation, notebooks, and quizzes, will be required to take the final exam on one of the following dates: May 22 (prenotazioni chiusi), May 29, June 12, or July 11.

Great job on the experiment - if you all practice enough, you will be able to communicate in English quite well!!
Here is the link to the history of 'underground naples':

Please note down the vocabulary you have learnt, send me your summaries here, and have a good holiday!!!

Quiz results next week!

I am very happy with the students who prepared well for the quiz on Tuesday! Those of you who missed class can have a copy of the quiz next week.

Here is a link to the three articles about Castel Nuovo, Castel dell'Ovo, and Virgil, if you couldn't find it:

Castles and Virgil

We'll talk about your quiz results on Tuesday - see you then!

The Siren Parthenope

Here is your assignment: Click on the link to go to the site about Parthenope.

PARTHENOPE

Then, choose another myth or legend from the same webpage and print it. You can also find the translation by clicking on the flag in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Read the English version, underlining the words you do not know. Then, read the Italian version, and try to reconstruct the meaning of the words you underlined. Print both copies,  and bring them to class along with your vocabulary word list. We will correct your work and create summaries together in class!

Finally, write your summaries here on the blog, by clicking on the word, "comments" and writing your three sentences here.

See you on Tuesday!
