Welcome to Advanced Two!

I hope you all have a great session. For sure, it will be a LOT of work, but it will all be worth it.

We will be using our blogs regularly to become a supportive community of writers. Scott and I will be giving you blogging assignments from time to time. You will post your assignment and then, very importantly, you will visit the blogs of other writers in the class and leave comments about their ideas. Take all of your blogging opportunities to express yourself thoughtfully, critically, and "generously" (don`t be cheap!).


Today, everyone needs to visit www.blogspot.com to set up their blogs. It's very important that each blog has an easy-to-find list of links to every member of our class

Truth or Fiction?

Here is your first blog assignment. Read the 4 statements below about me. Three of them are true but ONE is false. Leave a comment to say which one you believe is false. You need to EXPLAIN your reasoning. Remember that you want to benefit by taking all of your blogging opportunities to express yourself thoughtfully, critically, and "generously" (don`t be cheap!).

Next, on your own blog, write 4 statements about you. Make sure ONE is false. Try to be a good liar!

Visit AT LEAST 4 other blogs from our A2 class and leave comments to explain how you chose their lies.

What am I lying about? Remember to explain your choice in detail.

1. I first drove a Volkswagon when I was 11 years old.

2. In June, 2009, I received my third dan black belt in taekwondo.

3. A few years ago, I won a 21-speed bike.

4. When I have time, I'd like to take a class in cake decorating.
