SDLP 110: Learning Journal 4

[Constantinos Beauclair-Kolomtsas]

My goals for week 4 and week 5 are to first finish my book on the Greek Invasion of Asia Minor and then present my interpretation of the book to my language partner through a lengthy conversation about the work. The novel uses heavy, scholarly vocabulary and I am hoping I will be able to use some of this vocabulary with my language partner, although this will be hard. To reach this goal during my activity of reading I plan on writing down words I believe will be useful in my conversation with my language partner. I will evaluate my success first based on whether I finished the book by week 5 and second on how my language partner evaluates my speaking during our conversation about Greek historical events in the early 20th century.
