Week 1: Welcome to blogging!

G'day all and welcome to the first blog for 2011!

Each week in this class you will use blogging to help you to improve your English. You'll complete activities and tasks posted in this blog and even write in your own blog. You'll do a variety of activites from reading to listening to writing and even video!

Some of you are familiar with the process so you will be able to begin straight away! For those of you who have never blogged before I'm sure you'll really enjoy it once we begin! I'll help you to create your own blogs and then you can get started. Just follow the instuctions on the printed sheets.

Before we do anything though, we need to read about how to sit at the computer and the correct posture to use. Open this link and complete all the activities associated with it. Please show me your work when it has been done.

As you know today is Valentine's Day. Do you know the origin of this day? Is it celebrated in your country? If you are in a relationship will you celebrate today/night? What will you do for your partner or him/her for you? What was the most romantic Valentine's Day you've had so far? Do you think it is good to celebrate this day? Have a look at this information about Saint Valentine's Day. If you still need to know more, have a look at this video from the history channel.
