Learning goals and plan for the next week

[Chelsie Darner]

By the end of the week, sunday (2/15) I would like to accomplish the following:a). continue my knowledge and recognition of numbers and the alphabetb). memorize basic hello/goodbye phrases, colors, and days of the weekc). begin working through basic adjectives, such as good, bad, cold, hot...etcI will use the following tasks to assist my memorization:a). for the continuation of my knowledge of the alphabet and the different forms of each letter depending upon its placement within the word - a self made chart where I have to fill in the chart from memory.For numbers I am going to continue memorizing the spelling for the names (such as 1 to one) by the use of flashcards.b). For phrases, this will be a big part of the drill for the week, using them more and more aloud and making them more natural and easy to say and respond to.For the colors I will continue to use flashcards as well as using everyday objects around me to make me come up with the name of the color to describe them when I see them.For days of the week, I am going to try to write them in my planner and use them where ever possible in my everyday activities - I will also use my flashcards to assist with their repetition.c). For the basic adjectives, this is just easing into them and learning how to correcting pronounce them and use them in a sentence form. I am hoping to also work on this in drill.The resources I will be using are the following:a). Alphabet - self made, fill in the blank worksheetNumbers - flashcards - and they are also a main component in the days of the week and will therefore be enforced by learning them.b). Phrases - repetition, drill, and the BYKI flashcards (alternating between sound, no sound, and what is displayed on the card itself)Colors - the website (http://www.digitaldialects.com/Farsi.htm) has a great matching up game for the colors.Days of the Week - again a website it helpful (http://iteslj.org/v/pe/se-days.html) and I am also planning on just using the farsi version of the days of the week in my plannerc). For the adjective, I am going to use the notes from drill and make flashcards to begin learning from.I will use drill as a large form of my evaluation - having my instructor ask me questions pertaining to my learning goals and seeing if I have memorized all that I set out to do. I am also going to create a mini test, using children's workbooks in English and shifting the activities to fill my needs in Farsi.
