Hello, Kids.
Posted by misterjolly on September 12, 2007
Welcome to my online classroom! I’ll be doing a few things here:
- Posting make-up assignments. If you are absent for one or more days, check here for your make-up work. The last thing you should do while you’re sick is watch more TV–that would just make you sicker. Keep up with your vocabulary and reading instead!
- Assigning new work. On occasion, I will post a question here, and I will expect all of the students in a given course to respond and dialogue with each other. I may also post links to websites, have you check them out for yourself, and have you post your reactions here. Isn’t Web 2.0 the best?
- Miscellaneous. Sometimes I just find something interesting, and I want the whole world to know about it. Usually this will concern books or some other aspect of our culture. For example, the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize (Britain’s highest award for fiction) was announced recently, so I’m pretty excited about that.
So that’s the agenda for this site. Enjoy yourselves, and here’s a disclaimer: any opinions expressed here are my own, and do not represent those of my employer. Links to outside websites are for informational purposes only, and do not necessarily reflect the views of this website. If you comment, please do so politely, and IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN, DO NOT COMMENT WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF A PARENT OR GUARDIAN.
