POSTING GUIDELINES


Starting Thursday, August 12, you may start posting your weekly entries here as individual posts that we can all comment on.  Don't forget to view ALL of your classmates' first entries <a href="www.englishforumonline.blogspot.com">HERE</a/>.  Believe me, you can learn a lot from those and the comments to them.  The same posting guidelines apply:

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.
Publish Page(ONE entry per week should do it, thank you very much.  After all, this isn't your personal blog.)

2.)  Your post must be 50 to 60 words long and may be accompanied by links, photos/illustrations or learning resources that might help the class.

3.)  The deadline for posting is midnight of every Monday.  As an alternative to accessing blogger, you may e-mail your post to anamarie.alfelor@englishteacher.blogger.com for automatic posting to this site.

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 (supposedly) decent education.  The goals here are to share our knowledge and to enjoy the journey of English learning with one another. 

8.) Posts and comments must be written in English.  Text language is definitely not welcome.

9.)  Do not cheat on this project by stealing/ copying and pasting other people's ideas.  It's only 50 to 60 words. Have a brain, have a...good brain.

Entries that don't follow these guidelines will NOT be entertained.

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. =)
