Back to Classes, Fall 15!

That's right, today is the first day of classes (for me anyway) in the fall semester of 2015. This semester's going to be fun and challenging (for students anyway) again. In the Writing II B class, we're going to be using manaba (what a great program) in addition to more blogging. Most students have already started blogs, but we're going to add to them, post comments to my blog, post comments to friends' blogs, and blog blog blog about more things.

Of course, we won't forget about our trusty textbook. It's good for students to learn basic English sentence structure. For this reason, we'll be using the book for basics. Much of the book will be done via homework, and the answers will be checked in class. Writing aspects will be more fully explained in class as well. manaba will be completed in both realms - for homework (definitely weekly) and sometimes in class. Blogging, too, will be completed in class (so checking/advising can be done together) but will also be done for homework, in the form of updating/uploading or expanding on blog posts.

One more thing - don't forget to check this blog at least weekly! New assignments, answers to questions, quiz information, quiz answers and also test answers may be posted here. This is a good way to help you get used a routine of checking, writing, commenting, and posting.

That's it yes for this blog. Don't hesitate to have a blogging good time of it. It's easy and fun to express your feelings, thoughts, ideas, and dreams in the form of a blog. Blog away!
