A note to the students from the teacher...

Dear students,

Blog writing #1 was due last week and blog writing #2 was due Monday. Blog writing #3 is due before midnight.

For blog writing #1, 12 out of 16 students posted their writing.  That's 75%.  I have responded to all of you so go back and look if you haven't done so already.

I have also written comments to your writing for blog #2, so Petra, Yang, Diem, Diem, Bander, Sal, May, and Christian should look at what I've written.

That's half the class.  50%.

What happened to the other half of the class? What could explain this present result?

Wait, wait, let me guess...

1.  You've been partying lately.
2.  You've been doing Greg's homework but not mine.
3.  You've been dreaming about returning to level 4 (I can facilitate that!).

Whatever the excuse, I expect you to keep up with the work in the class. I give the blog work for you to practice writing and for me to see that you're learning the grammar lessons I've been teaching. Of course, on the one hand, I'm happy that not everyone writes because its less work for me to look at. However, your purpose in my class is to improve your grammar and your writing and this won't happen without some serious effort on your behalf, so for those of you who are already falling behind (and its only week 2), its time to kick into gear and get with the program RIGHT AWAY!
