Week 7: Proverb and Vocabulary Review

Before sharing all the Quia links, etc., I have a new addition to the project this week: an index of all the proverbs alphabetically, linked back to their blog posts with the commentary. I decided to do this since this week crossed over into more than 200 proverbs so far; 210 to be precise. :-)

I've now added audio to all the posts for the past week; see playlist below, and the audio is also embedded in each post.

Last week I posted some Quia activities for reviewing the sixth week of proverbs and vocabulary, plus noun and verb forms review; see the first week's review post for an explanation of how to use Quia activities, and you can find all my Quia materials here.

This week, I created the same activities for the Week 7 proverbs: Proverbs, Vocabulary, Vocabulary with Parts, plus Verb Practice and Noun Practice.

Here's the updated widget showing a random proverb:

If you want to review this week's posts, here they are: Group 37 - Group 38 - Group 39 - Group 40 - Group 41 - Group 42. You can also listen to the audio for each group at SoundCloud (I'm still working on filling in the audio for the earlier weeks):
