Easy class?

Today, relatively few people have come to class. In this class, if you work hard on your blog outside of class you can get a good grade -- even if you miss several classes. I expect everyone to work in and out of class. Your blog should reflect about three hours of study per week. So, if you miss class, you should be spending an extra 90 minutes outside of class. Since I expect about three hours of study per week, you may not pass the class even if you come regularly. You need to study outside of class too.

An example of good work

Click here to see a good example of work by a student who read about sports. This student has included a link to the article he read.

Another excellent example

Please click here to see an example of an assignment that has been done very well. The only thing this student has forgotten to do is to include a link to the web page she was reading. She wrote the title of the book (Robinson Crusoe for Children) but did not include a link. Click here to see the chapter of the book that she was reading. By the way, I have link to the text and audio of this book on the right side of this blog.

Lang-8.com

Yesterday, I learned about a site called Lang-8.com. If you would like to have native speakers check your English, have a look!
