Homework: Our Own Blog

Well, I'm so amazed by what you have achieved in just one day of blogging! I haven't had time to check out all the blog posts, yet. But you can be sure that I will, as soon as I have the time: they're really awesome!

 As I told you yesterday in class, I need you to label your posts. Remember to use just the existing labels. However, we may change them once we get this thing going. For the moment, I'll be checking the language of those posts that already have a label. You can tell that your post has been checked because the "reaction" "Checked by the teacher" has been ticked (you can read a number 1, next to it). Notice that the mistakes are highlighted, sometimes they have been crossed out, and my suggestions for improvements are in CAPITAL LETTERS.

 Now it's your turn to edit your post to make it look good for the rest of your classmates to see!

 VERY IMPORTANT: As of next week, your blog will become "private", that is, only the authors -you all- will be able to read it. Therefore, those students who couldn't make it to class yesterday need to do their homework as  explained in the handout (see previous post). I'll keep checking my mail for your gmail addresses so I can send you your invitations.

 Click here to log on Our Own Blog. And remember, if you would like to change the name, suggest a new one by making a post. The rest of the people should make comments or tick reactions.

Homework for Wednesday

Hello everybody! Long time no see! 

As I told you on the last day of our written tests, we're going to work on a students' blog. On this blog, all of you will be able to post things you'd like to share with the class. And I'll give you homework to publish, too.

 To begin with, as you could read in the handout I gave you, I need you all to create a gmail account -unless you already have one-. You need to do this by tomorrow -that is, before the class. When you have your gmail account, send it to me (ingles.eoimolina@gmail.com). I'll give you permission to be a blog author.

 We'll start blogging tomorrow in class. Please, make sure you bring the handout (Blog project) to class. And, very importantly: I'd like you to click on one of the links in the left column of this blog and find something interesting you would like to share. Write down on a piece of paper why you recommend the people in the class to check it out. Don't forget the route to get to that link!
