Welcome to English A

Hi all!

This is a blog. Shouldn't be new to you, since you're young and all. Apart from giving tips on fashion and other (imo) rather unimportant stuff, you can use blogs for teacher-student communication. We will do just that, which means that your first assignment here is to create a new blog, each and every one of you. Don't use an old one, since I'm not interested in reading things in Swedish. When that's done (won't tell you how, figure it out...), I want you to email me the web address to your blog. If possible, use FC to do so. Do it right away. Your next step is to take a look at the goals and grading criteria for this course. You can find it here. It's in English, but hopefully it'll still work. Still, it's really important that you understand what we're doing, so if you get totally stuck, there is a Swedish version as well. Last but not least, when you've finished reading, I want you to think about what you've read and write down your own, personal, beautiful, ground-breaking ideas for what YOU want to do during our time together. Write it in your blogs so I have easy access. Also, make sure to CHECK THIS BLOG regularly to keep up with what's going on. Feel free to comment as well, but make sure I know who's commenting.

To sum things up:
1. Make a blog and email me the address.
2. Read goals and grading criteria for English A, preferably in English (use f ex dictionary.com if you need to look up words), but if all else fails, in Swedish.
3. Go back to your blogs and write down suggestions & ideas for this course. Argue your cause, ie tell me why we should use your particular ideas.

PLEASE NOTE that this blog represents an extraordinary chance for you to show off and improve on your writing skills. The least you have to do is (of course) to complete the assignments you're given, but feel free to use this blog to write about more or less everything. As long as you do it in English, it can only work to your advantage.

Peace out for now. /Daniel
