Welcome

Welcome to your online blogging community. This is for Corinna's level 6 class to post thoughts each week (due Wednesdays, weeks 2-7) on either "University Life" activities, lectures attended, student-led discussion comments, or other discussion groups/events that you participated in outside of class times.

The main idea is that this will give you a chance to compose your own written work (approx. 100 words) and exchange ideas and comments, or just to share your opinions.

Even though this is not as formal as essay writing, it should be clear, concise, and as well-written
as possible. Read your classmates' posts and take time to comment on some. When commenting on the work of others, don't just say "I agree" or "me too". Always try to add something substantial to the discussion. Respect other people's opinions. If you disagree with someone's opinion, say it politely.

Visit your blog regularly. Ignoring a comment by classmates is discourteous. Remember that this is an online community offered for your benefit. Don't say anything that might discredit or embarrass our school. Also, be cautious about posting personal information.

You will be marked on your participation in this BLOG.
