Journals, Vocabulary, and Grammar - Oh my!

Hi everyone,

1,  Don’t forget that journals will be checked on week 15.  You need ten total entries since the midterm.  This includes the times we speak in class (I signed your book) PLUS 5 minute timed writings.  If you don’t have ten, you need to do the writings.

2.  Please print this dialogue and the 6 vocabulary terms below so we can talk about it in class.

Charlotte:         Dr. Miller, I wonder if I could pick your brain. Dr. Miller:         Sure, Charlotte.  What’s on your mind? Charlotte:         Well, I always thought I would go to engineering school, but now                        I'm not so sure anymore.  Dr. Miller          Well, it’s not so unusual for a person your age to change her                         mind.  I must have changed mine ten times before I settled on                        medicine!  Have you decided on something else? Charlotte:         Well, actually, I’ve developed an interest in the health filed, and                         since you’re a doctor… Dr. Miller          Are you thinking of medicine? Charlotte:         Not specifically.  Something related that doesn’t take that long                            to study…I know there are some good options, but I’m having                        trouble making up my mind. Dr. Miller          Well, have you given any thought to becoming a physical                        therapist?  It’s a great field.  You help people, and there’s always                         a job available. Charlotte:         Hmm.  Physical therapy.  I never thought of that.  I’ll                        keep that in mind.

3.  Grammar – Zero Conditional (it is ALWAYS true)

When we use Zero Conditional	It always happens
Science Allergies Murphy’s Law (hyperbole) ALWAYS (hyperbole)	IF you heat ice, it melts. If I eat peaches, I get a rash. If I forget my umbrella, it rains, of course. If my sister calls, she always complains.
The pattern:	If S + present verb, S + present verb
