Hi!!! Please welcome to this space created just for you. Please feel free to share ideas, opinions, reflections, links, fun facts, jokes, pictures, memes...whatever you want in order to make the class more fun, richer and significant to you. One part of this will be graded ( yes, I know you aren't so thrilled about it, but it should be done), and that will be your week reflections, partial essays and the comments to your classmates based on those reflections and projects. The rest will be part of the participation evaluation.

Remember, the project is 20%, and 10% will be those week reflections (every friday) and the comments to at least 2 classmates every week.  I know that is obvious, but I should remember to be very respectful and read twice (or more) before you post any comment. 

On the other hand, the other 10% will be the essay. For the second partial exam, the essay I will ask you to have a deeper reflections, besides quotes and cites (Check the difference here ), and will be based on only one topic. So start checking the topics so you can decide on wich one you can talk about and have a "thesis" (check this info ). We will be checking a little bit more of this in class, but it is a good idea to start paying attention to the topics and start organizing your ideas to settle the thesis.

So, that's it. This will be a good chance to participate, get to know each other a bit better and practice the language.

See you in class and hope to read you soon!
