Remember, they need to be 25 words long.

Tell me more about yourself.

The original post about homework can be found here.

First homework notes

I will be checking homework for the first few days of this week.  I will get to all the blogs as quickly as I can.

I normally remark on one problem.

As of Mar 31 at 8:00PM:

Class 161
Min-seong and Eun-jeong- the link didn't work
Hye-seung, and Joo-young, I like  your blog posts but don't know how to comment on it.  You may have to teach me how to log in.  You have credit for the post.  I was able to comment on Hyeon-hwa's blog.  Hwi-kwang, you have posted many comments - great work!  This one is too short to count, though.

Now a good comment should relate to the post.  This blogger likes K-pop, Running Man and Psy.  A good comment will mention one of  these things.

"Yoo Jae-suk is my favorite Running Man." would be a great comment.
 Or
" Is Big Spender Boyfriend a good translation into English for Opa Gangnam Style?"

--------------------------
April 2
Class 161: Hye-min, your link doesn't work for me.
Nam-yeol, your link doesn't work for me.
Jin-hwan, I cannot comment on your blog.  Please help me log in.
-----
Class 224
Man-geon, Ju-eun, Choi Ji-yeong, Eun Ji-yeong and O-seon your link doesn't work for me.
Dae-han, Seon-a, Chaeri, Bong-geon, Minji, Jinju, June-won and Jeongmin, your blogs are still empty.  You have a few days but hurry!
Eunhee, I can see your blog post but I cannot comment.

busy bloggers

Congrats go out to Sanga and Jeongmin, who each have 2 blog posts and 4 comments written!

I see 12 blog posts written by class 215, 3 posts by class 231 and none by class 235.

No one is late !  No one has lost points!

But please start writing in English!

I had fun reading the posts and learning a bit about you.

Class 235:  fighting!

Fall 2011 Homework!

Students will make a blog and create 6 posts on the blog and comment on four other blogs.



Some students will already have a blog but be shy about sharing English content with their friends outside of class.  They can use their current blog or make a new one specifically for English class.
A small selection of free blog sites:  Blogger, wordpress.com, drupal, cyworld, naver blog...

Students must make at least six posts of 25 or more words.  A post can be text, audio, video or something else.  The student in each class who a) makes the most posts or b) has the largest number of comments on a post, will get a bonus.  Three posts will be based on school work - wait for me to tell you what to write about.  Three (or more) posts are your choice.
Students need to comment on the blogs of four other students.  Comments do not have to be long, but must include details from the post.  "I agree!" or "Good post" is not enough.  Neither is "I think this problem is important".
"I think the problem of high tuition is important" is a good comment.

I will talk about linking and quoting in class.  If most or all of a post is copied from another source, points will be deducted.

In week two and three (Sept 8-21), I will collect the names of the blogs and post links here on this blog.

---

Three blog posts should be on class material.  Here are  your options:
Unit 8 (Hobbies),
In 25 or more words, tell us about one of your hobbies

Unit 9 (goals and the future)
In 25 or more words, tell us plans you have for after university.  You could write about plans for a world trip, what kind of work you want or almost anything about your future.

Unit 11 (emotion)
In 25 or more words, tell us about a time  you were very happy (or sad or angry...)

Unit 12 (personality)
In 25 or more words, tell us about your personality  I would prefer this to be a positive report so tell us what  you like about yourself.

These blog posts should be written in the last week of that unit, except for personality, which should be written in the first week we work on that unit)

---

The other three (or more!) blog posts could be about anything.  Introduce yourself, tell us about  your weekend or your major.  Tell me about good places to visit or good movies to see.  If you think you can cook something well, teach us.  You need to write (at least) one per month.
