Looks like we are finally a group!
Congratulations for having arrived in this blog, let alone to Turma A!
This class blog is where I will post assignments, resources and information relating to the course. You can also post in the blog.
Eventually you will be setting up your own blogs in small groups, where you will post your work and creativity.
Look at the links on the right. They are to help you with your language development. Find one link that you think may be of help to you.
The coursebook and preparing for assignment 1 - personalised writing:
LEARNING TASKS for Monday 6th October
1. Look at p.126/127 in the student's book and work your way through the tasks.
2. Start to collect vocabulary, phrases, expressions and collocations that you like and could use in your own writing, from the texts I will be giving you over the next few lessons. Begin to create your own vocabulary 'charts' from the article 'How my pals learnt that I was a bastard' and bring to Monday's lesson.

Guidlines for e-mailing
Use these tips when sending e-mails:
1.Give message a title – NEVER leave blank. It will get deleted
(by me,anyway).
2. End message with your name.
3. Safer to be polite and put name e.g. Hi Allyson
Attachments
1. Put your name, assignment or task title and Turma on attachments – anything to identify this work is yours and not anyone else’s.
2. Avoid large typeface – think of the paper to be saved!
3. Avoid all text in bold – save ink! My ink, by the way, and oh yes, my paper. Only use bold for headings.
4. Repaginate the page setup so the margins are as small as possible.
Save the planet! Spend the money saved on something useful!
