Outline for WEEK 3

To the New York University students:

Last week was a great review because we started to apply what we have learned in the first two sessions - which is how to ask questions and point out objects in a room. I was happy to see that we were beginning to form simple sentences together (and still much more on that to come).

In this upcoming session we will finish off last week's lesson plan (which we did not complete) AND tackle a new topic all together - how to write and read Arabic script.

PART 1: Audio - (which we did not do last week). (20 minutes)

PART 2: Visual drill - (also not completed from last week).
(20 minutes)

PART 3: Writing and Reading using Arabic Text (35 minutes)

Print out the Arabic letters from here: http://www.arabiccomplete.com/modules_read_learn/index.htm

1- Short versus long vowels: shttp://www.arabiccomplete.com/modules_

2- Let's begin to learn how to write Arabic script (the first of a series of 4 sessions).

3- Let's learn how to read what we have written (we will not be joining the letters in this 1st session to form words but instead attaching the short and long vowels to each of the letters).

4- Doubled Consonants: http://www.arabiccomplete.com/modules_audio_text_pics/consonants_doubled_page1

Please bring all printed materials from last week - you will need them.

See you soon!
