Log inSearch Latest topics | Preparing for G Mon Jan 12, 2009 6:53 pm by Mitzi100 Hi Everybody, Only Yulia gave me her log today. The rest of you should have it ready for next Sunday. After that it will be considered late, and you will lose points! You may send questions about a phrase or a sentence, but I will not check whole tasks any more. Look at the corrections you have, and check your grammar carefully before deciding that the task is ready for the log. Now we'll start getting ready for the G module. We'll start out by working on compositions. We'll use the forum this time, instead of my e-mail. I want to give to practice both in writing and also in finding mistakes and trying to correct them. Here's the plan: 1. I will give you the assignment, and you will write a composition that is at least 120 words long. Post your composition on the forum. 2. Read somebody else's composition and find one or two mistakes in the categories of vocabulary, grammar and mechanics (spelling, paragraphs, punctuation) 3. Post a message to the forum saying what you think the mistakes are and how you think they should be corrected. 4. After a few comments, I will write to the forum and say who is right. These tasks will count towards your magen grade for G, so don't ignore them!! Did you hear that the magen will be 60% of your grade for the Winter Bagrut?! You will also get a bonus of 10 points  on your exam for putting up with the sirens and rockets!!  OK. Here is the first assignment: This year, one out of four of our weekly English lessons was an online task on the forum on the Internet. This was a solution to a scheduling problem, but some teachers are interested in trying this as a regular feature of their courses. Since you have been part of this experiment, the school is interested in your opinion of the learning value of this type of lesson. Write a composition expressing your opinion on this issue. Include specific examples to back up your opinion. *Remember this is a composition, not a letter! * You should have at least 3 paragraphs: 1. an introduction 2. explanations or reasons to back up your opinion 3. conclusion. * Think and plan before you start writing. Read this message again from the beginning, so that you are quite sure what you have to do. The first part of this task (the composition) must be done by Thursday. The second part (commenting on someone else's composition, must be done by Sunday. As usual, you can send me a message with any questions you may have.
