Itinerary, Weeks 6-12

All page numbers are for the Eighth Edition of Patterns Plus. The Ninth Edition has most of these essays; if your book does not have the essay, get a copy from a friend or pick up a copy from me or a TA.
The lectures will largely involve sentence patterns and "review." By "review," I mean review of grammar that we already know or review of vocabulary, syntax, and grammar that we've been learning in class.
In addition to episodes of The Simpsons, we also may watch some movies. I have not decided when to screen the movies; when I do, I will adjust the syllabus accordingly.
