5/28/10

We had three guests again in today's class at ILC and they seemed like they were enjoying the class:)

We first graded our own PWT. I had a lot of grammar mistakes... I should have left some time to revise it during PWT because they are just small errors but they make me seem stupid:S
Then we learned how we can get information that is not as biased as what is on the news or on the newspaper. Rab gave us like 6 websites, which deal with the news that are not showed in the media. He told me the website called venezuelanalysis, which has all the information about venezuela. It made me get homesick again... That led me to choose "Caracas" as the topic of the presentation. The presentation is in google document that is similar to powerpoint, and I learned how to insert the video.

Then we edited our essays using sentenceworks. We are Rab's guinnypigs:P
I thought this program was good to find the spelling error but not that useful because it just sees the writing based on grammar and punctuation rules, and most of the time how it corrects changes the meaning of what I want to say.



I had a golf practice until 7:00pm and then we went for dinner. Total of 12 people gathered and we had so much fun! Fumika and I prepared for a birthday cake for our friend and we had a little birthday party kind of thing. Yusuke, you should come for the next dinner!;)
