On getting around this blog project

Welcome to the rest of you who have just followed this official blogsite for our English 2 classes this second semester. I see a few have followed my earlier instruction. For those who are just coming in, it is important that you click on all my posts which can be seen on the lower right side of your screen so you would know what to do. It is important that you follow directions. For the most part of my brief blogs, I am simply trying to get you acquainted or familiar with how this site works.

But here are a few more things you must do before we get started at your blogging project which we call your learning log. Other than following me, you must create your own blog site. For example, this blog site is named Writing in the Discipline and my name is Lynnie. You can name your blog in any way decent and appealing to your readers which includes me. When I click on your profile, I will then find your blog site and will follow it. You should also do the same for the other followers. That way you can follow your classmates' blogs and as they follow you and be able to make comments . Once more thing, please use a pic with your shirt on. Just as it's not right for you to entertain visitors at home without your shirt on, so it won't be right for you to enter my premises (my blog) not appropriately clad. So, change your pic to something more becoming of a university student. You don't have to look formal just appropriate.

For your first blogging assignment which is due on November 22, 2009, you must blog about what you think and feel towards writing in English. Make sure that you use only English or if you need to use a vernacular word you have to provide a translation in English. The blog can be up to 150 or more words.

If you have any query, don't hesitate to post a comment here.

I will look forward to your writing and a better pic for your profile:-)

  1. My Sentiment in Writing English
    When I belong to school boys in our place I keep asking myself and others why we should have to learn English. Even my brothers, sisters, and friends; I asked them this question. Is English important to us to learn? Some of them said that it is nice to speak or write in English because when someone hears you speaking English they would respect you and sometimes they think that you’re American. It is funny, isn’t it? Well, that was their statement for we were still in our elementary years.
    Now that I’m in my college years, I still have a hard time speaking or writing in English. When I write in English, I have lots of thoughts or ideas in my mind but I can’t express it for I do not know the equivalent word of it in English and its appropriate usage. But luckily, I started to learn little by little the English language in writing and speaking.
    In my way of assessing my self I think I can write more rather than speaking for when I speak, I always bear in mind my grammar thinking it must not be wrong. In short, I’m not comfortable in speaking the English language. But when I am writing I also think about my grammar but not that much.
