This class is an altered version of our C1.1 Foundation class.  It will meet once a week for 2 hours (instead of 2 and 1/2 hours).  One hour will be devoted to what we normally do in C1.1 (see below); the second hour will focus on sharing literary, cultural, scientific (etc.) material drawn from sources outside the textbook.  Unless students have a written assignment due that day, they will be strongly encouraged to do a 5-7 minute presentation on the material they wish to share.  Only one student is expected to intervene per class-meeting, so we can delve into and discuss the shared material of his / her choice.

Please note: we will cover only one chapter of Cosmopolite 5 (instead of 2).  We will cover Dossier 2. 

REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS:  Cosmopolite 5 (textbook and workbook).
