A New Assignment

Assalamualaikum

Dear students/bloggers of the class,

I have promised to give you an assignment and most of you just cannot wait to do it, right?

I want you to write in your post about an experience that you can never forget. Imagine that you are writing in a newspaper column (as this writing must be included in your newspaper project). Write what you feel about the experience, what had happened, who was involved and where did it happened. It is more of a free writing, so you don't really have to worry about the format. It is like writing an interesting short, a very short story. You can also add what you have learned from the experience that is if you have learned something from it. You may also include a picture that will make your entry interesting.

So, have fun in writing this entry. You have until this Friday, 3rd of December, 2010 to complete it.

If you have any question, just drop it in the comment box.

Jonathan Klein: Photos that changed the world

Assignment: Section 819

Sorry that today’s class has to be cancelled. However, this is an assignment (individual work) that has to be completed during the holiday. It is due on Monday. I will open a Dropbox in LMS for you to ‘drop’ your assignment. As of today, there are only 12 students from our section who have subscribed to LEM 0620 (SECTION 819). If you haven't please do so before the holiday dear...

Here is the assignment. Watch the video linked above and follow the instructions that I have below:

1. Identify the main ideas that you gathered from the speaker.

2. Based on the main ideas that you have gathered, write your own opinions on the topic. Do images have the power to change the world? Use your own experiences in explaining your opinions. Include a picture that is significant to you in the essay.

3. This essay has to be typed-written and shall be included as one of the materials for your newspaper. This essay is to be 'dropped' in your class dropbox (LMS) latest Monday 22nd of November 2010 at 9AM.

4. I would also see your NEWSPAPER frame on Monday. Do bring your laptop (at least one laptop for each group) to class on Monday, 22nd of November 2010, 11AM to 1PM.


If you have any question, leave it in the comment box.

Thank you everyone.

NEW SEMESTER NEW FACES

Assalamualaikum,

Welcome to the new semester everyone. The previous students are no longer in my class therefore their blogs will be inactive although I do wish that they will keep on blogging for fun. But of course, many did enjoy blogging in my class last semester, I hope.

This semester is going to be a bit different. Each of students is required to create their own blog and link his or her blog to mine and to other friends from the same section. So, new students, how to start?

1. Create a Google Account especially for the blog.
2. Follow all the instruction on the www.blogger.com website.
3. Choose a design that reflects who you are.
4. Wait for your first assignment that will be posted in my blog on the 5th of November 2010 (Friday's Deepavali)

Therefore, you have plus minus 5 days to complete this first assignment.

Your Assignment

Assalamualaikum

I have mentioned the assignment in class yesterday. Here are the instructions on how to do it.
1. Choose the 5 individual essays (Task 3B) posted by your friends either from Section 17 or 21. Use my blog to browse for the essays of your interest.
2. Read each essay carefully.
3. Give your comments in their comment box.
4. At the end of the essay, do write your name like this : Commented by: Asfia

You might ask how to give your comments. Give your view on the organization, the language and the content. If possible, give your comments the way I did it when I called you to discuss about your essay yesterday. I believe your friends will appreciate your opinions as they can also learn a lot from them. I will be checking your work.

Have fun!

It's ONLY 2 MINUTES
