Week 5

What is this structure and where is it?

G'day all!

It seems like ages since I wrote in the blog because of the holiday last week. I hope you're all ready to work today! It very important each week that you read what I write and then do any classwork I set before you go and do other things!

By now you should have all done the Library podcast and posted your replies in your blog. Then you should have gone to the ESOL wiki and completed the 2 tasks there. Last time you also had to post a comment on my post about the pictures. (I can see only 3!!)

Go back through the blog to access the links!

When you have finished these 3 tasks, open the link to Rosa's blog and look at the Harmony day photos. Write an account of the day's events in a new post on your blog. You can copy the photos if you'd like to. Ask me how if you can't do it!

After that, look at the activities on the Easter Show. That should keep you busy for 2 hours!

Happy blogging!

Week 4

What's the reason for these pictures on my blog today? Add a comment to this post.

G'day all and welcome to another class in the computer room!

I hope you all had a great weekend. As I told you this morning I had a very enjoyable time! The St Patrick's Day party on Friday night was full of fun, food and fabulous friends! By now, I hope that you understand the significance of the event! Even though Irish people do not eat special food on the day, I did cook some traditional recipes so that my friends could taste some Irish cooking! Have a look at the recipe for soda bread and Irish stew and see if you'd ever cook this food.

Do you have a special day in your country? When is it? How do you celebrate? Are there special dishes prepared and eaten? Write about the event in a post in your blog. Add links and photos too.

Have you figured out the pictures? Have a look at this link to help you!

Remember to go to esolf2f (use the link in the side bar ) and add your info on the World map if you haven't already done so. Then do the second exercise too!

Please remember to buy headphones so that you can do the listening activities required as part of your English course.

There will be no class next Monday as it's the Easter Monday holiday. I hope you all enjoy the short break. Perhaps you'll visit the Easter Show with your families!

Happy blogging!

Week 3

Bondi Beach

Cronulla Beach

G'day all

I hope you all had a good week and a great weekend. I had visitors up from Melbourne so we were very busy showing them the sights! I think we visited every beach from Cronulla in the south to Palm Beach in the north.

I realise that most of you did not listen to the podcast with Patricia last week so I'd like you to go back and do it today. Remember to print off the questions to make it easier.

When you have finished that, go into the ESOL wiki and follow the instructions to add your name on the world map. Ask me for help with voicethread if you need it.

If you have time, look at Rosa's blog and read about International Woman's Day.

Have a good class and happy blogging!

Week 2

G'day all

I hope you all had a good weekend. The weather turned out to be quite good even if it was a little cool! I had a quiet time and apart from Friday when I went to lunch in the city, I stayed around home. What did you all get up to? Did any of you go to the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade? Did anyone go to the cricket yesterday? How did you spend your time? Writ about it in your blog! Add a photo or two as well!!

I was impressed by the blogs you created last week and I look forward to reading them all every week. Well done. Please put a link to my blog on yours and perhaps any other link you think is important. Ask me if you dont know how to do this.

By now you've all settled into AMEP-A and hopefully have learnt a few things the past couple of weeks. I believe that you all went to the library recently and had a tour of the library with Patricia. To consolidate your learning and to help you improve your listening, I'd like you to listen to the podcast with Patricia. You can print off the questions to help you. Post your answers in your blog under the title LIBRARY.I'll give a small prize to the first person to post the answers correctly!
