Here we go again...

Some of you had the idea of coming together in blog teams to learn and exchange ideas more easily. Let's give it a try. I have arranged some blog teams with 5 or 6 students. From now on you will work closely with your blog team members. The first task you find in the Homework section. Good luck and have a nice weekend! cu

Dear class

Five chapters read - how will the story continue - are you as curious as I am?! Here are some questions collected by our expert group to keep in mind while reading.

• How will the relation between father and son develop?
  
• What do you think about the success of Dani's band?
• Will love last between Dani and Alex?
• Where will Alex travel next?

Are you happy and satisfied with writing posts and commenting on other students' ideas? Do you want to change anything to improve our interaction?

Dear class...

You've read only two chapters in the book THE AUSTRALIAN CONNECTION but I'm impressed by your ideas already! Most of you have great ideas and reflect upon the content in a very detailed way.

Still, don't stay alone - don't keep your thoughts to yourselves - they're not a secret, I suppose. So go and get connected! Collect links from your classmates, create a link list and comment on their postings - remember, 3-5 comments a week, unless you're asked otherwise. Post questions, invite other students' opinions and discuss them!

Well then, good luck and see you tomorrow!

Welcome...

and Howdy - as the Aussie says.
This blog shall help students from my class to organise their reading process of THE AUSTRALIAN CONNECTION by Paul Stewart.
With regard to their own reading experiences - they don't actually talk about what they read unless they're asked to do so in class - we have agreed on a new form of communication: Blogging. We very much hope that this will promote getting into contact, exchanging ideas and what is even more important, negotiating meaning - outside the classroom already. Still, every student is asked to take the responsibility for his or her own thoughts and ideas and be prepared to contribute to further topics dealt with in class effectively and successfully.
