Planner Term 1 Part 1 & 2 Getting to know Dutch society

General remarks
Notebooks will be reviewed at random. So be sure to bring your notebook to class and
always bring your course book as well.
Homework consists for a large part of reading a chapter from the course book. You may
choose what you prefer: either read the chapter before the lesson, or right after the
lesson.
To read means: study the texts with scrutiny, being able to ask questions about what you
dont understand and being able to explain the texts with the reader in front of you.
To answer means: writing down the answers in your binder or note book.
