Week 2

G'day all

How about a quick memory test? Last week you saw a video which suggested 23 things you could read!

Have a look at this wallwisher and post a sticky with either your own suggestion for what you could read or use one from the video! First in, best dressed, because you're NOT to repeat a suggestion made on the wallwisher so READ what your classmates post before posting your suggestion!

Wallwisher.com :: What can we read?

Well done to those of you who posted a comment on last week's online newspaper quiz! I knew you wouldn't find it difficult! It was just meant to be a light-hearted exercise based around our current topic!
I hope you find the table I handed out last week useful in completing your online tasks. It should at least help to keep you on track!

Today's task is to look at Topic 7 on the Moodle. Read the main newspaper article and then look at 2 of the stories in the related links section. What's the common topic of these articles? Do you think the parents acted fairly? After you've read the articles, answer the questions I put in the introduction. Write up your summary and opinions in your blog.

If you have time, check out this link on Skillwise English which looks at identifying text types! While there are only 2 tasks on this page, there are lots more available from the main menu! This is an EXCELLENT site for language learners. I hope you use it and navigate your way around the various parts! Remember to note down on your table what activities you do from it!

Well, that's all for today! I cannot access the blog from my office computer any more because it doesn't have Google Chrome installed! I had to prepare this post at home and by the time I cooked and ate dinner it was nearly time for Revenge!!! Had to stop for that??

Have a good week and happy blogging!
