Week 3

G'day all

The item below is from Wallwisher. You can add to it on the topic by clicking on the tab Post a sticky. Let's see how many suggestions we can come up with in total!



I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Did any of you go to the Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday night or the Dragon Boat Racing on Saturday afternoon? Tell me about it if you did!

I hope that you've all done at least the preliminary draft of your report from Patricia's talk. Begin today by posting the corrected draft in a post on your blog.

During this week in class we continued with a bit of grammar and looked at articles and when to use or not use them. To help you consolidate what we covered, have a go at the exercises from this web site.

Over the past few weeks we have on a couple of occasions looked at a bit of information to do with Australia. Have a go at this quiz and see how well you know your new country! There is a second quiz you can do do about Australian animals and after that see how well you know Aussie slang!

Good luck and try to finish as much as you can in class!

Happy blogging!

Week 2

G'day all!

Well done on creating your blogs last week! Some of you did the job with ease while some of you took a bit longer to get your blogs set up! I've written comments on all the blogs that posted something last class so please read them!

You should all have:

• written an introductory post
• added a photo
• added a link to either information on your country or town/city
• added a link to my blog and a link to at least one of your classmates

Well done to those of you who completed the Computer Health quiz last week. If you didn't do it then please do so today.

Those of you who went to have the library tour with Andrew should find the next exercise easy!

First, you should print off the library exercises and complete the answers as you listen to an interview with one of the librarains called Patricia. When you have all the answers to the questions you are to present the information as a report in your blog. I do not want a list of numbered answers but paragraphs.

Please try to complete these activities today. It is very easy to fall behind with the work and then you won't hve time to catch up later! All activities must be done as this work is counted towards your reading/writing portfolio!

If you finish all this within the class time, I'll give you something else to do!

Happy blogging!

Week 1

G'day all and welcome to our class blog! I hope you all have a fun time learning English through the activities I'll set you each week.

Today I'll help you to create a blog and post a bit of information about yourself. I'll show you too how to add an image to your post and blog.

Before you get started though, I have to ask you to complete a few exercises entitled 'Computer Health'. Click on this link and read through the information on Stretches, Postures and Consequences. Then print out the Quiz worksheets. Once you've completed this task and handed in the worksheets, you can begin to create your blog!

Happy blogging!
