1. I like using the shared class blog, it is a good idea it
is new for me to do homework online. I really like the way we were working in
groups
2. I didn’t like to comment on other student’s blog posts. It
is make me crazy.
3. I like to read other students blog posts because I like
to learn new things like their ideas and cultural.it is so funny to read others
blog posts in there you can see something interesting to you.
4. I like that our classes are mixed. I like having one day
of the week in the computer lab, because it's easier to use.
5. I like to use the blog. With this we do know of people,
from who are taught. We learn to use grammar, doing exercises, read and study. I
learned a lot by reading other student's posts.
Blog Post # 10 Reflection-Lina
I like to create blog posts, also, I like to share
information with one another. It is new for me to do homework online. I have to
type it then post it. I do not like typing things. I like to read other
students blog posts because I like to learn new things like their ideas and
cultural rituals etc. I like computer lab to be more than one day because I want
to know more regarding computer systems. For me, the biggest benefit of us is
that we adapt and share our writing way ideas.
jicanzeng
I like using
the shared class blog, it is a good idea. For this way, we can compare with
other ones’ article, and can learn some grammar rules from them. Using the
blog, I like reading, but I didn’t like to comment on other student’s blog
posts. Because some people they like to write their culture, it was hard to
comment on that. I don’t like having one day of the week in the computer lab. We
must face to the computer with whole class, it will make us feel tired. The biggest
benefit of using the blog for this class, we will know what kind of the idea
came from other ones. It can develop our mind to think.

BP # 10 Reflection Of Blog (Parmita Roy)
1) Using the blog for us, new students in ESL 097 class was a kind of getting
started! About the blog, I like the way we share among us students,because
everyone has to make an effort. Also, it show us how to work online with our
different assessments. I really like the way we were working in groups. It
creates kind of familiarity among students and we were learned faster.
2)I like the blog. Sometimes in the blog have some during date, i didn't like it. Its make me crazy.
3)Reading and communication to other students blog was exciting and sometimes funny. Because most of the students were trying to improve themselves, writing their best post. And sometimes we learn different countries information, culture and so on. We were trying also to fix their grammar and tenses But it wasn't easy because writing on the computer need much more attention and skills.
4)I like to mixed class likes sharing, speaking. Its helpful for speaking who were english second language.
5)Using the blog was a big benefit for us. But the biggest benefit might be that we have learned a lot from the blog: how to write, use our words, share our posts with others, even with students out of our college.
Thanks for my all friends to share your opinion, your countries information.

Also, it show us how to work online with our different assessments.I really did like the way we were working in groups. it create some kind of familiarity among students.and we were learning faster.
2)_If there was a thing that I didn't like about the blog, it was maybe when I wasn't working on the blog! It's a kind of supply for the teacher and we have to work a lot on it to be on the page.
3)_Reading and commenting other students BP was exciting and sometimes funny.Because most of the students were trying to improve themselves, writing their best post.Trying also to fix their grammar and tenses But it wasn't that easy.because writing on the computer need much more attention and skills.
4)_Having a day in a computer lab is good but if we had some mixed classes like computer and regular at the same time , I think it might be better.
5)_Using the blog was already a big benefit for us.But the biggest benefit might be that we have learned a lot from the blog: how to write, use our words, share our posts with others, even with students out of our school.
I think we should still using it! it so important in a certain point that we ought to keep working on it more often.
Thank's again for having a Blog on our course..........

He was born Booker Taliaferro into slavery to Jane, an enslaved
woman, and a white father…his mother denied his white father. When her
mother married, he took the last name for his step father. His family
gained freedom in 1865 as the Civil War ended, and his mother took them
to West Virginia to join her husband. As as a boy of 9 in Virginia, he
remembered the day in early 1865 when accepted Emancipation Proclamation
that day his mother was very happy because she was prayed for many
years and finally her prayers were not in vain .His adolescent was a
little difficult but pushed on, he worked in a variety of manual labor
jobs before making his way to Hampton Roads seeking an education, he
became an African-American educator, author, and advisor to Republican
presidents. He was the dominant figure in the African-American community
in the United States from 1890 to 1915. Representative of the last
generation of black American leaders born in slavery, he spoke on behalf
of the large majority of blacks who lived in the South but had lost
their ability to vote through disfranchisement by southern legislatures.
Washington maintained power because of his ability to gain support of
numerous groups: influential whites; the black business, educational and
religious communities nationwide; financial donations from
philanthropists, and his accommodation to the political realities of the
age of Jim Crow segregationa dominant figure of the African-American
community from 1890 to his death in 1915, especially after his Atlanta
Address of 1895.
In conclusion how we read on the biografy from Booker T Washington if we have pleasure and strength to do anything we can do that like we see in his story because the life is not easy.

The Delany sister real life on the film have many differents from the
book for example some love they had and also they were not as strong as
was read in the book because i see they ignoring the school and work by
racism that lived before....well i think is good because supposedly
that ladies are the same from the book.one thing i surprising when they
died before the book and the film of which were published. if i could
meet the Delany sisters, i ask them if they ever regretted not having
children or getting married?

BP#9 Language story 1- Haiyan, Li & sejung
I noticed that you've mentioned about the body language in the last paragraph, I'm really interested in it. I've read lots of researches about it. They said 70% of our language we use everyday is body language-kind of silent language. Even if someone was born in damaged,was not able to talk, one still could communicate with others without any obstacles.
And the story about the baby, I strongly agreed that. Because when I came here I was like a baby who just began to learn a new language.
I thought it was because when a baby was under three years old, the brain started brain planning. So during that time, a baby is easy to accept and understand a new language. Scientists announced that when a baby get to know new languages at that time, although they may confused about the meanings or pronunciations, they would never forget it in the rest of their lives.
And the professor told us to write something about the plans that how to improve our English. I think there is no shortcut. Don't try to find impossible shortcut, there is no cheap. So the only way I think we should do, is to practice,practice and practice, whatever helps your improvement. Such as novels, Dramas, TV Shows,,,
I will so appreciate if you can give me any advice.
Thank you.

BP #9 - Language Stories (DIRECTIONS)
For this blog post, you will work in your groups formed today.
1. Please go to the 2 links to student blogs assigned to your group and read their posts. The students are writing their “Language Story." Their language story can be about
(a) their relationship to language (how they use it, where they use it, what languages they know and use)
(b) their theories about language. (What is language? Is it
different for animals than humans? How so?)
or
(c) their story from birth to present (how they learned their first
then second language; orthe languages that surround them in life)
2. Write a reponse (as a "comment") to the two students' blog posts and do the following:
(a)
telling your own language stories; or
(b) talk
about how you have learned/practiced language during ESL 097 and how it has
impacted their own language story; or
(c) what will you need to do to “improve” your English language skills? How does
learning English for formal school activities
(reading/writing/discussion) differ from learning English outside of
school (e.g., work, friends, New York City)?
