It's Not Just an Assignment; It's Real Life!

I hope you know how important your email responses are to our Chinese students.  If you only knew how important the email project is to the Chinese students, you'd be quick to answer their email or to help others in our class who need help to get theirs going!  It is really endearing to see how deeply they care about hearing back from you.  There are still eight Chinese students who have never gotten an email from us, so they asked Kevin if their words were wrong or if they had done something wrong.  They are very appreciative of your time and look forward to your reply.They see this as a matter of pride, and they relish your words. They truly don't see our exchange as just an assignment.

On Tuesday we will meet again in room 185, but we will reconvene after lunch in the library outer computer lab where you will refer to a "To Do" list to get EVERYONE caught up.

Next, the class blog is intended for YOU to see what other students are doing, to see comments or get help on your own work.  It should be a platform for you to individualize your site, to express yourself, to connect with each other, and to expand your readership.

This class and every class is set aside for our Creative Writing class.  Just because it requires a computer with internet access to do a lot of your work doesn't mean to travel wherever you'd like online or to do work from other classes!  Please be respectful of our time.

You'll be handing in your "To Do" list at the end of the class today to receive points for your workshop time.  Take advantage of this time to your credit!
