On february 2nd,2015 I began the process to implement the blog with eigth graders . That day I assigned a homework to my students about what a blog is,its characteristics ,the communicative skill that is more strengthened through it, the type of documents that can be uploaded in it and the aspects that are necessary to take into account before making a comment.
Today,I told students that they had to make groups of three to work on the blog in some group activities.I recommended my students to work with people they feel well to work with.
Students made groups and shared information about blogs.Most of the students did not do this homework since they knew it would not be graded.I gave to my students the answers of each one of the questions they had to search in Spanish for them to read and complement what they had searched.
Finally,students read about blogs and they discussed and complemented each one of the questions.
Esperanza, this is great! What kinds of information did they bring? How was the interaction among the students? What happened with those who didn't bring the homework? This is probably an issue well be facing often. Do you have any ideas on how to handle it?
