A new year is beginning, and I have a new project for my students. From now on, all of my students will be signing up to blogger.com and be posting weekly. This project will help all of us. I will be able to see and edit their work from wherever I am, and they will all have an opportunity to do the following:
- Practise using the computer
- Improve spelling, grammar, and composition
- Develop and maintain a web 'community'
- See the progression of their skills over time
I'm really enthused about this project. Recently, the students have been asking for more writing practise, and I think this is the perfect tool for it.
I will give them a weekly topic every Monday, and each student must complete 2-3 (or more) paragraphs in their blogs. This week's topics are "My Christmas Vacation" or "My New Year's Resolutions". They can choose which topic inspires them more. All the blog entries must be completed by Thursday, when I will review the work and provide feedback.
