1.) Once a week, post a short paragraph talking about anything related to English usage and learning. It could be a thought, an experience, or an observation you have had. Make sure it makes sense and is worth our time.
(ONE entry per week should do it, thank you very much. After all, this isn't your personal blog.)
2.) Your post must be 45 to 50 words long and may be accompanied by links, photos/illustrations or learning resources that might help the class. Note: links/web urls do not count towards your 50-word limit.
3.) The deadline for posting is midnight of every Saturday. The deadline for commenting is Monday midnight.
4.) Read ALL of your classmates' posts. I will expect you to know what I am talking about when I mention a particular post in class.
5.) Be kind enough to help enrich your classmates' education by commenting on their posts, particularly if you spot any grammar, vocabulary, or usage error. I will be taking note of those "kind-hearted" people who are quick to spot these errors.
6.) Unless your user name is your full name, kindly write your name after each post. How are we to know who maroontikbalang is?
7.) Be respectful in your comments. We are all grown-ups with a (supposedly) decent education. The goals here are to share our knowledge and to enjoy the journey of learning English with one another.
8.) Posts and comments must be written in English. Text lingo is definitely not welcome.
9.) Do not cheat on this project by stealing/ copying and pasting other people's ideas. It's only 45 to 50 words. Have a brain, have a...good brain.
That is basically it. I might add a few more as we go and see how this turns out, but until then, please go by these guidelines.
Happy posting. =)
