Hello there!
It's your turn to create your blog now. I'll demonstrate to you in a few seconds.
Before we begin,how are your classes so far? I hope you are doing well and are ready to get good results for this semester.
In my previous posting to other classes, I've mentioned how I do this CD activity every semester and the outcome of this activity. I'm always excited to read the postings done by my students. All the activities that I've created have the learning objectives in mind. I expect everyone to be serious in completing each task as you are going to use English a lot. Don't worry about making mistakes or feel shy. It's part of learning. I realize you are going to expose yourself to the world. Anyone can drop by your blog and give comments. You need to be open about this. Of course I will not embarass you but I will look at your errors and point it out in general,either in class or through my blog postings.
Now, you are going to create your blog and put your first posting.
Hope to see you in blogosphere!
Please leave comments so that I can link with you immediately.

Welcome D3D1-BEL311 July 2008
Hello everyone!
This is the second week of your class. How are you doing so far? I hope you have enjoyed the lessons. On your first day of BEL311, I've given you the information about the course, such as the Course Outline, the Scheme of Work, sample of Term Paper, sample of discussion questions and sample of final examination question.
In your second class, I've asked each of you to create your own trademark after giving your nicknames. I found that this is the fastest way for me to remember your names. Besides that, I can also see who are more confident and who still need to develop the skill.
Another activity that I like to do at the beginning of my classes is the CD Activity. I've done this activity for a few semesters and found that all my students
have enjoyed this activity. I've also enjoyed reading the titles that were created by them and to be done within 15 minutes in class. Reading the postings has revealed more than just names and basic personal details. It is so enriching and fulfilling.
While typing this, all of you are typing the review about your CD Album Activity. I can't wait to read all your postings.
I will also demonstrate how to create your own blog after this.
So, till we meet again.
