Podcasts

Please do some research about podcasts. Open a new e-mail message to me and tell me what a podcast is. Then, find three podcasts that your find interesting on the internet. One can be in your native language, two should be in English. Then, answer the following questions about EACH of the THREE podcasts:

1. What is the link to the podcast?
2. What is the title of the podcast?
3. Who is the target audience (for whom do you think the podcast was created?)
4. What  topic are they speaking about?
5. What is something about the podcast that you liked?
6. What is something about the podcast that you would do differently?

Evaluate Yourself!

Please describe your experience in the first marking period of this year, that ends today. Analyze your performance in your classes. What do you think you did well? What could you have done better? What changes do you plan to make to ensure your success next marking period?

I will grade your blog using the following rubric. Please make sure to ask questions if there is anything you don't understand!

This year the ACCESS test is online! That means the reading, writing, speaking, and listening will all take place with the computer, keyboard, microphone, and headphones. Don't let the technology interfere with your score! You all have worked hard since last year to improve your English!

Practice the exam here, and make sure you feel comfortable with the process!
