After a long break I have finally come back to normal English teaching (not teaching 1 to 1 or teaching exam classes), and so am back to giving my students weekly projects. It's a new round of students, this time pre-intermediate, and so a whole new round of blogs.
Last time I did this was the first time I had been playing with having the students do their own blog, but now that I have a bit of experience with it, I'm going to try to integrate it into the whole course a bit more. At our school (United International College) a single level lasts for about 12 weeks before it starts again. However, within that time, each class should have two or three different teachers. So I will be with this class for four weeks. My plan is to introduce the students to the idea of using a blog this week, then next week their project will be to write a story which will also be published on their blog, and then there will be other in-class projects that they will also put on-line. Hopefully they will get in the habit of looking at each other's blogs and making comments, and then they will continue writing a blog when the course has finished.
Here are the blogs:
Martin Sandro
Daniel Cagatay
Hammou Kamila
Only the first two of them have published their homework for today... well done Martin and Sandro :) The other ones will be up soon, I'm sure!
