Blog Session 11

Dear Class,

As this is the last blog, please write about your blogging experience in 300 words.

Did you enjoy it? Why? Why not?
Did it help you improve your English?
Give your opinion of the pros & cons of blogging in your English class.

Best wishes,

Two more...

Dear Class,

Just before writing the last blog this semester, please feel free to choose one more topic so you can post today!
Don't forget to write between 280 and 300 words plus your comments on three of your classmates' posts.
If you want, you could make it career-related somehow... You could choose an issue in your career that is connected to our society. Then, for instance, you could make a comparison or explain what is this connection between this issue and Chilean society.


Best,

Best,

important info about your first evaluation

Class please bear this information in mind

The level 3 presentations are individual 4-minute Career-related presentations that students have to give.



Here are the important points to remember:


1. You are not allowed to read. You can use notes but you should only glance at them from time to time.


2. Students who read their presentations can be marked normally but their mark should be divided in two (e.g. highest mark for readers = 3.5).


3. You should apply same criteria in the case of slide shows full of text. A slide show should contain summarised information, not long pieces of text. Ideally, each slide should contain no more than 3 or 4 words.


4. Remember, this activity accounts for 20% of the final mark and so marking needs to be accurate.
