Dear all:
On this post I will explain how the blog work will be assessed.

First of all, I'd like to remind you translators are NOT allowed. The objective of writing the blog is improving your English level by making the effort of thinking in English. You can use wordreference.com to find words you need or ask your teacher if you don't find them. This is the way in which you learn.

Two marks will be averaged for your blog mark. Mark 1 is for continuous assessment (i.e. coming to class and posting IN class).If you come to class & write the right number of words, plus the ideas you are asked to express AND comments, you get 2 points. If you don't come to class & post from anywhere else within 48 hours, you get 1 point. After that there are no points, but you can still write for the sake of learning & because of mark 2.
Mark 2 is for 2 particular posts that will be evaluated in terms of (ideas (n° of words), word range & grammar). If the post is not there when it is marked, you get a 1.0 for that post. These 3 marks are evaluated and give an average final mark.

Ps: You can use www.wordreference.com but NO translators.If you do the latter, you get a 1.0 & no points for your post. The worst of all, you don't learn. :(

MARK 1 +MARK 2=   /2 = FINAL MARK

These two marks will be averaged and will give your final mark :) If you have any doubts, let me know.
Kind regards,
Beatriz
